    Love this picture taken by a fellow HAMBer ('58-'60 Thunderbird w/'59-'60 GM roof)...

    Can someone put a '58 Cadillac front bumper/grill on it?

    No worries. i'll work up a proper side view somewhen if I can find a decent photo. Should give you a scaleable reference and a better idea.
     
  4. Here's a quick rendering of what you might end up with...

    There was an Austin A40 Somerset Coupé, which was actually a convertible built by Carbodies of Coventry, buily from late 1952-54 or so. Now, try to find one!

    Yeah, I discovered pictures of these last night. Wish they´d made a few more and rustproofed them a bit better!
    Even a pair of doors off one would be a good start. I think I´d feel pretty bad welding a hardtop onto one.
    Have a look for the Austin Atlantic too.

    20160325_155537.jpg hey fellas.
    I've always wanted to see my Plymouth in a really obnoxious candy red. Could someone help me with that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dont know that I like the caddy bumper that much better for the effort it would take but I do like that top.

    There's just something about the stock '58-'60 front bumper that just looks "added on" to me. Still thinking through what could be done about that, and since I don't yet actually own a '58-'60 Thunderbird, I have plenty of time to figure it out.

    I do agree with the top, however. Think I might have to try and pull that off!

    True, but the stock bumper just looks too "tacked on" for me.

    I wonder about doing a front using '58-'62 Corvette grill trim and bumpers.

    It looks slightly different from this angle. I left the roof a touch higher too, to avoid having a mail slot for a windscreen.

    And here´s how you could do it. The boot area is dropped straight down (cut a slice out where the number plate goes). You´d probably have enough material left from the roof to bridge the gap to the back window area.

    I really like this version; v ery understated in grey. It looks like a scaled down version of the Hooper bodied Daimler built for Lady Norah Docker.

    I've heard of Lady Docker and her custom Daimlers, but not seen that one before. She certainly had some...ah...unusual ideas (crocodile interior anyone?). I guess that long sweep down the side was all the rage in around 1951 or so.
