hacked Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 hi guy's, i've cut and shut the bonnet so while thats waiting for a file and sand i'll take to the roof. nothing to radical, i took 3mm out of the front pillars, pushed the roof forword, bent the pillers in a bit,then filed the back to suit. now i'll cut down the side of the back window and lean it forword and fill the gap.

hacked Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 thanks Ira, my promlem's i normally start well, it's the finishing i'm not to good at. but i'm having a bit of fun with it so i'll carry on. i moved the back of the bonnet bulge back 6mm and got rid of the vents, filled a bit of the hole, not sure what i'm doing for a engine so i'll leave it like that for now and got the first file of the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacked Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 hi Guy's, the front gaurds did'nt suit the look i'm going for [still not sure what that is] so they had to go, i'll find something to fill them in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacked Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 got the guards filled in, i used the back seat, the curves are good and it's thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Great stuff Jeff. But please excuse me if this is a silly question. I may have missed the idea behind the work, but is the body just out of proportion? Too long maybe? But, I do like what you're doing, looks like an interesting conversion.

hacked Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 thanks Guy's, Stump it's not a silly question, i think it's a bit long and skinny. i've seen a few on here and they look really good, but my idea was to make little mods to make it a bit different. so let me know what you think of my next idea. i'm thinking i'll cut from the back to the front guard and add 3-4mm to the back to give the back more depth, a little bit more like a cuda?

stump Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ah, ok. I'm on the same page with ya now. Yeah, not having seen a 1:1 to compare, but I always thought these kits looked a tad on the long side? I have an old (original issue street machine version) and the latest Petty car to do one day....I'll follow along here for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacked Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 well'' back at it, i've cut from the back to to the front and added 3.5mm to the back. now the neat bit of filling it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hacked Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 and a bit more, i've changed the bonnet on #1, bit of petty and a bit of dukes, i might open up the vents if i go with the turbo. and i've got enough bits to make a crossram for #2.

hacked Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 hi Guys, i've opened up the vents in the bonnet, now i think i'll round off the rear end. i put a bit of undercoat on just to have a look at where i'm going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
