thinking about something more like this
working out how to use the fender tops as a 'hood side/grill"

 

[Stonebird]

Do it. I'm having a great time doing my 54 Buick version.

Cool!

 

[Sunnybeach]

That would take a serious amount of time and money. [ [


if you have to ask then you are probably not ready

time is not a problem being a shop teacher
and I have plenty of extra hands

we shortened and dropped this bus last year
recycled a lot of scrap yard parts
folks would be surprised how resourceful we can be

 

[Sunnybeach]

looks like you are more than capable!

For fun, try swapping the fenders left to right, rotated 90 degrees (headlights up and down with sides of fenders as a cowl top).

cool idea
we will start mocking up as soon as we trim off the qtrs
there is no telling what goofy combinations the kids will come up with

Pics. Please...

we made a little progress today
just the first mock up

 

[BillM]

Wow, and I thought I was bad for taking on projects! I'm watching....

 

[Anthony M]

playing with the wheel base and transition
we will reshape the front of the fin to flow into the fender
and use a piece front the front doors that will allow the second body line on the fender to fade away

 

[Anthony M]

working on the overall look and wheel placement
looks like we may need to slide the rear tire back a little from this angle

Maybe slide it back a bit, but not much. Keeping it a little ass-heavy retains some of the Caddy design influence...

I like your design way better than the green one. It looks ok until your eyes get to about the front of the engine and then everything just goes to heck. The deuce shell is wrong, it sets too high, wheels aren't in the right place........
