BACK ON THE CUTTING BOARD!!!

Ira, I really like how this is going so far. Have you thought about rounding off the rear edges of the side window opening to give it more of a Bugatti Atlantic feel? That might be pretty cool with this design. Can't wait to see where this goes next!

That looks cool. Will you leave the bottoms open or fill with styrene?

Thanks Jim,

I think I will probably fill in at least part of the fender bottoms...

Thanks for the kind comments and suggestion Jason!

I have been thinking about that roof line. I am concerned about clashing with the vertical sides of the rear window.

Haven't quite figured it out yet... B)

very cool but what amazes me is how fast you can put out these models even with so many mods, it seemes that you alway have a few progets going on at the same time.

I like it a lot Ira...great flowing body lines.

Are you planning on leaving the Cord pop up bug eye headlights? Hmmmmmm....... wonder how Jag XKE style head lights frenched into the fenders would look, without the chrome surround trim.

Thanks Eric,

I work on 2 or 3 at a time, that way I can Change to a different project anytime I want. It gives me more time to plan and think about how I want to finish the models... :)

Fillin' The Holes...

I cut 2 pieces of white sheet plastic to fit between the rear fenders and the body, and glued them in place.

Filled Some More Holes...

I cut 2 pieces of white sheet plastic to fit the lower inside area of the Front Fenders and glued them in place.
