Hi guys!

Things are moving a bit slow for the moment. Finally got a job and as I haven't been working fysically for quite a while now it kind of makes me just float out in the sofa after a day at work
Anyway, this is a project that has been living in my head for quite a while now and I got it started a couple of weeks ago.

The idea is to add some 1930's style to it with a long hood and short rear end.
Soo, I made a cut and put in some 5-6 mm extra material in the front that left me with a little underbite. No worries though, braces are ordered so it's taken care of.



I'm going to try to make a front end like on the Mark III-IV but keep the headlights back in the original place.
At the back I shortend the trunk to make a deck between the bumper and trunk.



The roof is a '58 T-bird that is shopped some 3 mm, still have some work to do on the A-pillars as I don't like the bend they have right now. Also going to scribe new doors as I will make it a two door hard top instead of the four door it is right now.


Don't expect updates soon as this is a long term build, but it will get there eventually...I hope!
