This will be in the style of a 60's custom. Most of the parts are hand me downs from a mate

The body is a little lower & raked. The bed is shortened & raked to match. Both bits are moved back a little to fit the old hemi behind my favourite track nose. Widend the rear guards, often wondered what to do with those unused fender sets!

This is looking terrific! Nice work on the fender widening.

The basic concept reminds me of this old build in my collection done by a kid in the early '60s...

Thank you gentlemen

John, your rod is exactly the style I'm looking for!!

Only thing is I spent hours deciding between a bench seat of buckets & went for the bench as I thought it more correct. Looking at yours, I think I'll go dig out the buckets again.

Thanks again

Brian

Very cool, I like your idea, just a thought, have you considered cutting the cowl loose along the front of the door post line and tipping it rearward until the firewall is vertical, it might make the front of the body to appear even more channeled than it is, and would improve the lines when viewed from the side, and would also make mounting a hood a lot easier. Keep up your good work.:D
