Projects 54 Capri Roadster

Ajusted both the rear quarters height/angle for the last time I hope, can get on with the rear shape now.................

 

Really enjoying watching your process. Thanks for sharing the experience.

 

got some done on the rear end, beefed up the chassis a bit for the tow hitch thats hidden behind the bumper, also got both doors fully opening/closeing at a touch of a button! (well wire on batt at the min) got vid of them working but havent got a clue how to post it.................................................................

 

Very nice. Very nice indeed.

Tow hitch? Oh man, that should be an interesting trailer!

 

Are you going to build a trailer to match?

 

Tow hitch is for this if I live long enough!

 

With those 2motors you certainly will never need to worry about doing "wheel stands"!!! That's somewhere close to 1400lbs(that's 625Kg !!!) at least in the motors alone, not counting the rest of the vehicle!!

 

Looking great!

are you mickey thompson's lost son??or gene winfields?-must be one of them...

 

It may not look like it but I finerly have the panel shapes/forms that Ive been looking for scoopyness will be added, just have to finish it now.........................

 

Looking great!

Catwalk in forever and start of scoopyness may have a grill or teeth or maybe a shadow gap, who knows!

 

I like the flexibility in your planning.

 

Thank you!, good to know Iam not the only madman that likes this sort of thing............... cant sort the scoop angle/shape without keeping the roof ideas in mind so...............

 

Love it. You know, you could probably carry an Austin in the boot for urban travel.

 

Think Ive got the top shape now................

 

Car & Classic has an add for windshield ( windscreen ) for a 1960 Cresta PA for 45 pounds. Guy says he bought it for a spare. Ad was posted March this year. Just saying. By the way, I got out my American English to Queen's English dictionary and I can't find any definition of " scoopyness ". Enlighten me, please.

 

Thanks for sharing your design process with us!

 

I really like where this is headed!

 

Start of the rear roof section, this will be removeable to keep all options open................

 

I think George Barris would approve.

You’ve both had me on edge,and lost me both a half dozen times with this thread ...but I keep checking in. Intriguing to watch this evolve Johnny

 

Think Ive got what I set out for now..........................................

 

Magnificent, simple magnificent.

Set back bulkhead/scuttle for extended hood, hinges will mount to this, it also makes a good place for a tool kit

 

Just thought of another possible wrap around windshield. How about using a rear window from a 1975 to 1981 Camaro or Firebird? Uncertain as to how legal a tempered windshield would be but the hot rod from the Elvis movie, "Loving You" used a Chrysler back window.

Been trying to sort the fender/scuttle to door flow, getting close.............

 

Hood braces free of the skin to fab the pantographish hinge mech............
