Been following this one from the beginning, absolutley fantastic job you're doing I'm not one for flip front or removable fronts, but you've done something very nice there with the front.

Very impressive

[camp freddy]

thanks for the comment Cactus
much appreciated, re-shaping
the lower of the front at the moment,
i'm removing the step above where
the bumper mounting flange used to be .

[camp freddy]

been out for 1hr, done a bit of trimming to the
re-shaping on the flip front, took a couple of
pics for you all, shows the front without
the step under the grill.









still got to glass up and shape but it's looking ok.

Elo, i was just showin my mate ur front and how amazingly simple and great it is. But we just noticed something in ur photos, you havn't got the a-pannels on... have you checked that the fronts gonna clear them... i have a sneaking suspision you may have problems, after looking back at mine it makes sence, that its the reason why the hinges i have move the bonnet 2 inches forwards, before flipping it up. I do hope i'm wrong tho.

something out if it does fowl. I've got a good grinder ,jigsaw and a big hammer !!!!!!
I've got a feeling it will be ok I'll let you know...

easy, just mount the A-panels on the front itself.

then they'll catch the wheels

[camp freddy]

been out to work on the front end, built up the
lower edge,





clamped on the 'A' panel to check the bonnet opening action in case
of fouling, opens fine.
