37/40 Ford Streamliner Custom

[Impalow]

Thank you guys for the interest!   The spoon is an old trick I picked up in school..  I had a professor that was obsessed with using them for different things on prototypes. To the point we did a study on the different brands and shapes... The Wendy's ones are a great shape, more elongated and my particular favorite.. 

here is a peek at my weekend progress... Got the hood/grille and hood sides complete.. Lots of cutting and splicing. But it's all connected.

Very cool car, but the front fender skirts are a no-go to me.

Liking your build, love the spoon patches. 

X 2 I have never liked cars with front fender skirts . It just looks wrong to me . Each to there own ...! Overall though it is one heck of a piece of art. You have made a great start more please

 Thanks guys!   so far im happy with the proportions.. should be a unique vehicle when complete.

I agree on this, its not really my thing either... probably why I haven't even mocked them up yet.  From some angles they make the 1:1 car look like a blimp/foot... not flattering.  I asked Santa for a lathe so I can start making some wheels, and if that happens the last thing I will want to do is cover those up.. At some point ill probably try something a bit different up front so I can try to keep the "streamliner" look.. but if its doesn't work.. we may just have a custom here.

Coming along nicely Eric. Will you extend the trunk area also or leave it?

Thanks James!  That is my next section to tackle.   I want to extend it a bit, then make an area for a diffuser with dual center exit exhaust.  At least that is the plan for now

This is coming along very nicely! Your body work is terrific! 

thank you wayne!   im trying to keep it clean.. minimal filler
