prostreeter69 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Guys Here is my latest project, it's the AMT 49 Merc. The roof is off the Chezoom. Let me know what you think. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstreet Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Great start, that roof looks like it was made for the merc. If i may make a suggestion, i think if you did a wedge section out of the sides, it would make the car flow a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think you could put the Chezoom roof on a VW Beetle and it would look great. I like what you are doing and I like what you are thinking. You could slice a chunk out of the side, or do a pie wedge, or leave the side alone....just go where you are comfortable....great start.

prostreeter69 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hey Guys: Thanks for the input, I was thinking about the pie wedge and I guess that will be next with all the suggestion. I also plan on strighting out the body line and suicide doors. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that body is in such bad shape I plan to clone this car at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Jon, that "Other" mag has a VERY good article in it this month, by Tim Boyd, about how to section bodies. Just a plain simple sectioning job would do wonders with that body. And with the roof chopped that drasticly, it would take the height out of the body. I think it'll look good like that, but thats just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prostreeter69 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey george: I that article is very nice but I really think I'm going to do a pie section starting at 0 at the front doors and doing about 3" at the back. We see what that looks like and go from there. I wanting to add late model Caddy taillight (the tall slender ones) so I will be modifying the back anyway. I post pics when the sec is done.
