So back to the MGB......
I picked up parts near Charlotte this weekend. Same guy I got the rear end from - nice guy. So I brought home some odds and ends (he gave me two extra wire wheels so I now have a spare) and some sheet metal bits that I may or may not use but mostly I now have a rust-free hood (bonnet) and deck lid (boot lid, I think). I opted for a steel hood though he did have a couple of the early aluminum ones. He was attached to the alloy ones and had a stack of steel ones that weren't dear to him so I went that way. Note that the deck lid is the early type with the outline octagon and individual letters as opposed to the later ones that have a one-piece badge. I like the early style much better. So they're on the mezzanine waiting for me to get to them. The color match isn't good but I'll fix that.
