Un-Monkeemobile? Updated 7/1/13

[Pat Minarick]

Got a little more work done on the rear half.

Got the suspension set were I want it and have lots of room for the engine.Not sure what I'm doing with that.

Got the roof on.

if you build a hood hinge assembly that slides forward on rails then tilts like a reverse hinged hood you could put an over-the-top induction system on top of that motor.

Thanks for the Ideal,thought of that . But i think the wheel wells will be in the way.I might just mold the hood back in and open it up a little more.

Nice work. I've always thought the Monkeemobile always looked too long and over the top. You've done an excellent job making it look good.

Thanks Marshall!

I'm just hope not to screw up the hood i'm working on!

You're welcome. Just relax and enjoy building... it seems to help cut down on mistakes.

This is what I'm trying out for the hood.I built it up with plastic and epoxy first.

There will be something sticking out the hood so the scoop will be gone.

Thanks Bart! I 'm changing the hood a bit ,didn't like it all.

[Pat Minarick]

Well her is the new hood ,more body work to do but I like it much better.There will be hardly any putty in this one.

I had to change it ,It looked like a bird beak.

Nice work !

[kyotey1693]

Thats too cool! Cant wait to see it finished.

[Greg Pugh]

Some amazing work being done here! I'm watching from here on out.

[cobraman]

I liked the first hood but the second is better looking I think.

I guess he didn't want to rename it "The Birdbeak-mobile"...

[Dr. Cranky]

Loving every stage of this one, please keep it going.

[Custom Hearse]

It looks much better with the new hood.

[Lunajammer]

Yes, the front end is turning out quite nice, good job. But I sure have a hard time getting past the visual weight of that panel van roof. It steals the attention from your other careful details. Here's sample of how a window might look. Sure, it's a little cliche' and it wouldn't have to be a window but I feel like something needs to lighten that area.

Thanks , I might still add a peak down the middle and maybe some kind of shaker scoop.
