updated https://vsusp.com/scuttleDesign/
* added flattened hood and flattened scuttle graphs
* added textareas showing hood and scuttle points with export links

TODO - the page layout is still a little rough
TODO - might want to not use negative coordinates for hood and scuttle points, or maybe output only the passenger-side positive coordinates

Great thread! I am still trying to decide if I want to use my Kinetic scuttle. I want to have a fixed dash, but need to get the scuttle put together to see how i might cut the face of it off while maintaining a good look.
