So now it´s time to cut my 33 5w. Have planned this for a while now and also had Rik Hoving to make a photo shop for me after my specs.Decided to take out 4 inches in the A-pillar and 3 1/2 inches on the c-pillar just behind the quarterwindow and the roof will not be extended.I´ve planned to line up the roof at the b-pillars and tilt a-pillars backwards and reshape the c-pillar and sailpanel to fit . Not the normal way to do it on these cars but I think the windscreen gets a more pleasing angle and flows with the rear of the hoodside. Rendering Rik made for me Here you can see the miss match of th c-pillar. Cut out the lower corner of the character line and cut a vertical relief cut in the sailpanel Here I´ve moved the lower corner of the quarterwindow forward and the character line lined up again
Awesome, love that the ankle of the 'A' pillar is the same as the angle off the vertical as the front leading edge of the door and flows well. You still have good forward vision despite being chopped.
Very well thought out and exquisitely executed! I like yours better than mine. And I like mine a LOT!
Yes there´s a 59 a with a 3 speed and stock rear with 3.78 gears in it currently but I have plans for a 50 Merc engine with 5 speed and a Halibrand rearend. Have all the parts .
Looks almost like a 'factory custom'. Very sneaky while being radical at the same time. Very nicely done.
Beautiful job. Can you post cutting down the inside window moldings? Would also like to see how the rear window came out.
Thanks! Haven´t got there yet but pics will come Thank you. Working on the rear window and moldings will come.
I love this car - it's got great patina. You're doing a great job. I like the thoughtful approach you're taking. Hope you'll be able to bring it back to the UK once it's done. Mart.
Hi Mart! Nice to speak with you at Prescott Hill. I will bring it back when I have switched drive line and rebuilt the chassie. Must race it at Pendine again. That was a great experience and a great event.
