Hi
Does anyone know of someone in the north west who would make me a hood,
it's a one off using spitfire frame extended to suit my car

Can't answer your question, but.

There is a member on here who used to fabricate the chassis and do GRP work for Haldane.

Not sure if this is any good for you.

Can soft bits for sevens help?

Failing that you might be looking for specialist classic car type company.



Oh bugger - just looked at canvasmans prices. Maybe pricey due to sizes needed for boats. Hopefully car hood would be way cheaper. Maybe a discount can be had at this time of year. Hopefully close enough for you to call in and twist their arms a bit. Would be worth getting a quick price for 7 sized tonneau cover and boot cover too for reference. Ive often wondered about getting a tonneau where the passenger side can be left in place when out driving solo.
