Have to say I was a bit skeptical at first, but your vision and skills are well up to it, it's really looking good!

Bit of an update
Ive cut back the scuttle panel to give better access to the back of the engine.
Ive started making the inner wings too, i need them in before i weld the scuttle panel in.
I made the mounting points for the front panel, and mounted the rad.
I want to turbo this at a later date so i need to make sure ive got room for an intercooler at the front
So ive exstended the front by 20mm, also ive mounted the wings so that i have a 25mm gap down the side of the bonnet, just so that the front doesn't tapper in as much with the car been wider.
