Mr.peabody.d,
It's not a Donkevoort, but a home built by a guy in Holland, so I imagine 'inspired' by the Donkevoort.
His website is
http://www.mk-indy.nl

Some nice work there. He molded in the air intakes from a motorcycle fairing....

That was the way with mine, it provided my car play $ for years as it went up about 5% at a time. BTW you will find they have a strange math as they add up % for multiple problems. The main thing is to get a claim established even if it initialy results in a 0%. If you have further problems directly or indirectly you ccan reapply. Though I think some of the medical treatment is sub stadard the VA has realy saved my butt. Nough bout nasty [PooPoo].

I like the looks of the accent line but it would serve the purpose of having a wider area the hood could set on the frame with some kind of a rubber gasket which should reduce rattles. I don't think they sell thier glass seperatly only if you buy a kit.

UPDATE
I have finished the 2X4 & 2X8 buck of the skuttle but I want to make it in metal......for those following this thread so far...foam, plywood, 2X4 & 2X8's, and now metal. I like to think a metal BUCK would be more durable and more honest than wood.


So I bought the metal yesterday 200 feet of flat stock 1' wide by 1/8" thick.

I just need to get my meassurements, map it out, and decide where I want the spars/ribs to fall.
every 4 inches?
every 6 inches?

Every spar/rib will have 16 gauge reinforcement on the aches/curved sections.
