I agree completely about the front end, but I was suffering from project fatigue at the end, and I just wanted to get the engine and radiator covered up. Surprising I did that, because I have always criticized the Bugatti Atlantic for being such a nice design with a grille that looks like something ten years older. Obviously if I had some curvature in the grille and sloped it back, that would make all the difference. I thought about building a new hood and grille, but the hood was by far the most difficult part of the body, and I just am not in the mood.
Regarding the "New Morgan", the Liberty Motors Ace cycle car, as it is called, was built by Pete Hansen here in Seattle for a several years, and then Morgan decided to buy his design and produce it at Malvern. They apparently could not come to terms with Harley, so changed to the S&S engine, redid the front end so the steering is behind the engine, and few other detail changes. It is a nice machine, no doubt lots of fun, but for the money I would buy a Malone. It has a modern, high performance engine, modern rising rate suspension, paddle shifter, probably as close as you will ever come to driving a formula car on the street.
