What do you need from us to replicate a hood?

I assume you would need and old hood and the vehicle, obviously material etc. How do you fix the rear windows in?

I checked the assembly manual (yep, kept it for 35 years) for the B+ and Malaga which, if my history is correct, morphed into the original Phaeton, and this indicates that the Imp front shocks are to be used on the rear unmodified. If you've got a different set up please ignore everything I've said!!
