I have just finished the first side of my scuttle with the sides curved down to the side rail to match the upard curve by the rear arch area. My car will be titled as a mgb and I am using the original scuttle with the original vin tags going back on . most of the hood is being used as well and the rear trunk. Going this route will give me somthing much different (not that there are very many 7's around here) and will fit the legal requirments (very very vague) to keep it a classic car and not a kit -= very cheap insurance.
I will have to sort out the bracing of the front of the scuttle once the other side is welded in. The scuttle will be removable for know but probably fully welded in when complete.
