Well, something very cool happened, which will save me a ton of work. I was searching around for different parts suppliers, surfing parts catalogs... you know, all the general stuff that we do when trying to avoid doing something productive. During the course of my surfing, I found a supplier in Ontario called Autofarm. (see links page)
These guys do a bunch of stuff, mostly to do with big Healeys, but they are also getting into the Sprite end of things. The owner is tearing down a Bugeye parts car, and will have the rear shroud available as a used part. I jumped on it right away. I also sent them a preliminary list of parts I may be needing, and got back an estimate on cost. But right now, I'm super into that shroud coming in! I was concerned about fabricating the part. Smaller bits are fine, but something the whole width of the car, a couple of feet long, and which needs to be perfectly symmetrical with compound curves... that's a bit of an ask. I would have done it, but now I don't have to. Welding her in will be See Spot Run stuff by comparison. And, while I wait, the disassembly begins in earnest.

But here is a link to my YouTube video from the above paragraphs.... youtu.be/ChorrRj93os
