I really like the roof lines Darin. it more closely follows the classic daytona coupe shape. also the transition from the door to the rear side windows is perfect.

no vacuum form box yet, but after the amount of work to get the roof acceptable smooth after I formed it I'll probable be making one. I made the balsa wood buck for and shaped it until I was happy with it. Than I removed approx. 0.040" of material off the top so that when I heated the 0.040" styrene sheet it would have the same shape as the original buck. I removed the balsa from the model and made a larger than I needed piece of styrene and heated it with a heat gun and draped it over the buck form and after it cooled I trimmed it until it mated with the original body.

Hey All. first post so I'll see if a can do this right. current project is a Shelby Series 1 with a roof added to mimic the classic "daytona coupes" I am also trying my hand at a little high detail with this one and adding the supercharger option. the supercharger is a very rare factory option from Shelby and reference pics were very hard to find. I hope you like it and any comments are welcome. making the roof form engine painted up making coilover shocks the roof molded out of 0.040" styrene sheet and almost ready for primer
