windshield, fender, hood then maybe the doors

Also who is using a hinge to attach the hood and are they buying one designed for the 818 or making one from junk yard hinges?

I have made my own hinges. Functional with sporty appearance imo. First I hand shaped cardboard templates. Then cutout 4 arms from .032" aluminum. I purchased cad plated aircraft hardware to bolt 2 arms together with 1/8" spacer in between. In front I welded a piece of aluminum angle to my aluminum mount for the body nose. This is the hinge point on the car. For the hood I used 3 each 1/4"stud bases (Mcmaster Carr) I mounted these studs onto the slotted metal base - leveled them into position - then placed a small amount of bondo body filler with fiberglass under each stud and pressed the studs assembly against the hood. The bondo fills the gap created by the different shapes and curves involved. Next I laid down a couple of layers of fiberglass cloth over all 3 stud bases. Be sure to cover the threaded stud preventing any stray resin from sticking. I expect this to hold well. Time will tell.
