Junkyard Jewels # 11: GT40 bonnet



I had a bit of a dilemma about tonight's Junkyard Jewel. IS it really a jewel cos it's a jewel, or a jewel cos the car which it's from is a cool car? I decided that if I walked into someone's garage and saw this just hanging on the wall, in 1:1, then I'd think it was pretty damn cool, so here it is.

Somewhere out there is a nice (albeit unpainted) model of a GT40 missing it's front end...and somewhere else, eventually, there will be a hot rod running those cool little rectangular headlights and a GT40 gas cap, just cos they were there. And who wouldn't like a hot rod built with GT40 parts? I know I would! Those air intakes would look pretty sweet on the hood of a little roadster too...
