Resin 68-69 charger funnycar body questions

[gtx6970]

Ok.

 

I have a body I bought several years ago. 

I have it sitting on a polar lights chassis and tins.

 

Issue is. 

Engine and interior tins  is to far back from the windshield. 

If I move the engine and that section of the tin.

I have an issue where the tin no sits down on the seat bucket .if that makes sense.

So should I leave engine where it's at...and just extend / custom make  an interior tin piece where it seals to the base of the windshield?

 

This is slated to be Nelson Carters Imperial Custom car ..the bright green version

Here are some pics that show the placement of several elements a little more clearly. You can see that the driver and engine are set pretty far back.

The Super Chief is a later version of the Imperial Kustoms car.

Thanks 

 

Looking at pictures including the I posted.

It shows a pretty long tins covering the blower hat.

 

I'll build the chassis box stock

And make my own forward tin to cover it seal to the body.

I think that's the right action. In fact, your body and chassis combo looks pretty darn accurate.

Looking forward to seeing your work on this one. It's one of my favourite funnies ever. Super cool. I have the same Hot Rod picture you posted above pinned up on the wall above my model bench.

Great looking cars
