    This is really beautiful, a piece of art. Never seen anything like it, way to beautiful to be a race car! Almost a show car, almost a EMBR, if there was a Europas Most Beautiful Roadster.
    Wonderful details!

    Keep at it, lad.

    Cest la vie!

    I recall back to when you started this and your vision ....and to see it now is just amazing ! As has been said of the detail......top stuff. As for the front view, I like them both but without the tie bar just wins over. JW:D

    We put gl*** in it, made a template out of thin plywood then cut the gl***, you will notice that we lowered the bottom of the windshield. Keep up the good work, love the modifieds . Frank

    Looks great! Maybe a dumb question, but what did this start as? Sedan?

    Yes,You are right , it's a front and doors of Sedan , at first I wanted to make the same of Tim Musico

    It is not easy to find parts of roadster in France but it would be has to redo I would make differently and I would leave parts of roadster .
    I hope to have answered correctly has your question
