Pat Minarick Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Got a little more work done on the rear half. Got the suspension set were I want it and have lots of room for the engine.Not sure what I'm doing with that. Got the roof on.

blunc Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 if you build a hood hinge assembly that slides forward on rails then tilts like a reverse hinged hood you could put an over-the-top induction system on top of that motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Ideal,thought of that . But i think the wheel wells will be in the way.I might just mold the hood back in and open it up a little more.

Custom Hearse Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nice work. I've always thought the Monkeemobile always looked too long and over the top. You've done an excellent job making it look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) This is what I'm trying out for the hood.I built it up with plastic and epoxy first. There will be something sticking out the hood so the scoop will be gone. Edited May 15, 2013 by Road Runner 79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Yes, the front end is turning out quite nice, good job. But I sure have a hard time getting past the visual weight of that panel van roof. It steals the attention from your other careful details. Here's sample of how a window might look. Sure, it's a little cliche' and it wouldn't have to be a window but I feel like something needs to lighten that area.
