Fuzzy Knight · 10-18-2010, 08:19 AM

Man that is a shit load of work! Done nicely

zgears · 10-18-2010, 08:44 AM

Wow.

Stefan T · 10-18-2010, 11:07 AM

I took a look at the shoebox and it was verry nice.
But i have seen it before in a magasin?? maybe in the swedish magasin gasoline.

the vonstripers -

Thanks for the links.

That's some great craftsmanship & metal-shaping talent shown on "the shoum roadster" ... but it appears (at least to me) that the proportions are way off on the rear quarters / wheel wells ...

Love the Chinese wheel, btw

) that I'm near the true.....

I hope you understand me, I don't speak english very well

Your English is better than our French!

The area in front of the rear wheel looks too long. I only noticed it from the side view so it is not that big of a deal. . Nice work!

Morrisman · 10-18-2010, 04:42 PM

I fell like a real cop-out now, using a 'glass body, simply because I couldn't find a tin roadster shell.

Feeble excuse.

The French guy simply made his, from flat steel sheet:

or maybe this will work:
