Then did a test fit to make sure the interior all fits like I didn't it to. With a lil adjustments, looks like this should work.

Are your planning to replicate the rear wheel opening fretwork?  2 or 4 wheels aside, I'd be interested in seeing photos of your work progression if you do so as it would seem to be the most prohibitive part of the build (for me anyway).   Never heard of this custom before but your build has me thinking. I can probably find a 59 Caddy easy enough but the 59 el camino could be a pain.  I have a Vette I have no interest in that would supply the side pieces.  Carry on please, you have my attention.

I going to do the 4 wheel version. Like in the art that was in the 1st post of this car. The elco roof is easy to get from a 59 Chevy Elco. Just cut the roof off.. Or just cut the B pillars off and shorten the roof and make new B pillars for it.

 

Heres the wright up about the car.

Mock up time. Got the hood to sit right. Body fits good with the engine in it. Bumper and grille looking good with the blacked out background in the engine bay

Getting closer to having this finished. It needs to be done by the end of this month. And I feel I'm only 60% done with it ?.
Got the engine 80% done.
Engine bay 75% done.
Interior is pretty much done.
Chassis about 80% done.
The trunk and space in front of the trunk about 70% done.
Body, 50% done.
Still waiting on the wheels. They're in transit now. Should be here anyday.

May be an image of leather, leather wallet, book and saddle-stitched leather

It's coming along quite nicely. The bass kickers are a great idea.

Aren't those big holes under the tonneau cover for a set of big sub-woofers?

Working on the back end. Figuring out what to do with the trunk and area in front of the trunk.
