I ordered 2 different types of weld on hinges as I couldn't decide. Both allow the cover to lift off by sliding. The ones on the left have tabs which will make it easier and stronger. The ones on the right will look better. Decisions Decisions... Any ideas?

More engine cover work done. As usual.. it's all recycled metal so far.

It certainly does

Nice!

Amazing work!
