That's how the car SHOULD have been made! MUCH better than the convertible!

Good work, Veyron--it's already looking really sweet! Hmm...for some weird reason, it makes me wonder how a topless Enzo would look like.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and encouragement.

All major body work is done and getting close to the painting stage.

The most important aspect of the work was to get a side window shape that works with those huge door coves... it wasn't easy to arrive at a window shape that looks good at all angles.

I filled in the vents on either side of the rear window and that was the last hint that it is a Modena roof exept for the shape of the rear window which happens to work with this car.

Moving the B pillars forward to the rear door panel line helped the look of the rear window.

I think the stock wheels look great on it.

That 3/4 rear view is stellar. No actually its 360° of perfection. Maybe becuase its from a Ferrari 360 but you are a genius. I salute you.
