Here is my bulid i have just stared it's a 1939 vauxhall 10 four door,I have chopped the roof six inches,cut the original running gear out and fitted the body onto a reliant scimitar chassis.I then streched the chassis eight inches to make space for the 6.2 v8 gmc turbo diesel.I have mocked up some picks today with the front bumper and grill let me know what you think

I like the grill dosent look the best from that angle and there is an angry looking man stood near it.
its looking good with the doors done but from that angle it looks like it would look better with massive back wheels like mikey has on his y rod,but from the back those wheels you have on look good sticking right out..

now then chris mate,you know carl is right about the big wheel thing, i looked at ford cargo wheels at first for mine and they would look pretty wild at the back, i reckon they would be up near the windows is you channel it right
the way i have the body mounted on the chassis now, when the body is on the floor i still have about 3 inches more suspension travel lower so i can go with a wheel 6 inches taller and still get it on the deck,if that makes sense .bit more done tonight,mm how did i make the doors fit on the drivers side again
