Modern "Boat-tail" 2 seat custom coupe

[Peter Lombardo]

Well, since I only have 11 vehicles under construction, why not go for an even dozen?  This is a vehicle I designed and  carved out of "sign foam" and then vacuumformed.  It is intended to be a modern interpretation  of the vehicles that roamed the streets back in the '30's.  The Alburn speedster boat-tail being my main insperation.  The Alburn was a speedster (roadster) and my design is a coupe, but if this works out okay, I will also do a speedster version when the coupe is complete.  One design feature that I have always loved is the long hood and the short deck look, you know like the original Mustang had, that long  hood, greenhouse, and then the short rear truck deck.  I incorporated that look into my design.  If you notice, on the Alburn, the rear deck, obviously, comes to a pont (boat-tail) and it also slopes downward.  I wanted to incorporate that into my design too, but on a modern car with full fenders, that is a little difficult.  And in combination with the boat-tail, I thought it might be different to add a bit of a Kam-back to the design..... kind of like the rear of the Cobra Daytona coupe, you know, just "cut-off" and trunkcated.  I have added a few lines on the car so you have a good idea of where the windows and wheel wells will be.  These are just a rough idea for now, and once I actully begin cutting, it may change a bit.  The wheel wells will be opened up and given an exstended lip which is not on the car yet.The only thing I am uncertain of at this point is power plant for the car.  I coud do a modern  V8, but I am leaning toward an all electric set up with batteries and electric motors on all four wheels......... what do you think?

So, I assume you can't see the pictures.... Is that the issue here?  if so, they are on my google account, have I mentioned how much I do not like google?  They are in a public album, so they should be visiable, but here is the link to the album.  https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipNGqW3u3wqIbcBA1axWphWieUUy3sOdJpj0ThAp  I hope this helps, man I am quite frustrated with the fact that I have so many issues making my photos visible to all.  Oh well.  Maybe they just aren't meant to be seen by anyone except myself.
