Could we get Whiff to do a hood making guide, now he's out of the game, it would be a shame for the ideas and experience to get lost into the ether.

Thats why Whiff was soo good, his work was tailored to each and every individual buggy.

The problem is that every buggy seems to have a different combination of screen/roll bar/ rear fixing/ material type/windows/doors and style, Gordon there are so many variations thats why they cost so much and take so long to get a good one made. I know this from personal experience. Once we get our place sorted we will be doing some of this including seats and interiors but as I said there is no real common basic they are all individual. Its can be less work to make a new one from scratch rather than alter something. I'm sure some of you guys that have done jobs around the house or even using a second hand wiring loom have found it better to start from scratch rather than trying to trace out an old piece and reuse it.

Certainly Hunter, but there was probably a process he went through and some similar steps which could be followed, that was what I was thinking.
