Marcos Maniacs

I have Marcos 8001, 1982, does anyone know how the front hood supports 
should look?  It appears my cars steel frame that supports the hood 
pivot, is not original on one side and is "hacked" up.  There is 
plywood in the nose that is busted and aluminum plates have been 
bolted to the plywood to pivot off the "hacked" pivots.  Does anyone 
have a picture they can send me of their nose pivots?  Is there any 
adjustment for the nose built in?  Also, my front control arms, 
(wishbones) have spacers welded between the inner brackets and frame, 
and rather crudely done, is this original?  If someone could please e-
mail some pictures it would help.  I am in southeastern Arizona, 
(Sierra Vista) not much Marcos activity that I know here.   Thanks,

Steve,

This must be a Twilight Zone entry.

Steve, drive out of your driveway, take Equestrian Drive to Buffalo Soldier 
Trail, and enter the Main Gate of Fort Huachuca, you will find not one, but 
two Marcii here with me.  Go the photo file on our MarcosManiacs Yahoo! 
Groups website and you will see photos of our Marcos cars under my name.

Give me a call tomorrow (kids are already asleep) -- I'm in the Sierra Vista 
phone book.

Three Marcos cars in the sprawling megatropolis of Sierra Vista, AZ.  Who 
knew?!

Best Regards,
Andy
