donky replica front end.
Hi all,
i have had a look in the archive but have found nothing yet.
Please point me in the right direction if I have missed any.
I have become infactuated with the front end of the new donky D8GT.
Has anyone had a go yet?
I think it looks fantastic.
So much so that I am seriously considering making one for my locost. I think that with my one piece bonnet/scuttle it could look the business. Granted
its not to everyone's taste but nothing is.
My car is allready registered so I am not that bothered with fitting rules and regs, although it would be nice if it could.
What do you guy rekon?

i saw this a couple of days ago and decided i would have to give it a go.
i am nowhere near to needing body panels yet but there is a a roll of chicken wire, loads of fibreglass and a bloody big tub of P38 that i know is
looking at me everytime i walk into the shed
If i manage it, i'll make sure i remove the molds sympathetically for anyone else who wants.

No issues, because, being Dutch, this will have been designed properly to meet type-approval requirements.

Always love the Donkers - IMHO the only "modern" take on a 7 that actually works aesthtically and they've managed to blend in a
decent looking hard top too 
One day - oh yes, one day....

Probably worth reading these to get an idea of the techniques required to build a buck for a nosecone. Unless you're really talented trying to
carve it freehand is going to end badly.

I quite like my nosecone, I think MNR do two types, but I defo think my is the better looking one out of the two.
