here's a curve..a little better maybe [ATTACH]
So, the first comment over on grassroots was and honestly, looking at it, you're both right. I'll need to think about it.....
and rear. Sitting here with a drink poured (ok it was a straight to the rocks moment) I'm thinking the corves in front cut away the place the...
I'll call this rev2. I need to think a little bit now...... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's a bit better in the body....time to get after the fenders [ATTACH]
@James D ...thats kind of interesting. For whatever reason the fender shapes look better, to the point of "yes, I think so" sitting next to the...
first this thing must be enormous or that is a really well proportioned midget [ATTACH] I've always like the auburn [ATTACH] and this grill is...
Oh I hate the car (for this project), but I love the observation about grill shape following fender shape. The Bugatti t57 kind of disagrees but...
How's that? [ATTACH]
Just the fuel and blower bit.....if I want to add height a roots blower and carbs will add....12" on top vs efi and a side/low mounted setup? it...
@Adriatic Machine - it helpd define what I DON"T what to built :eek: That auto union car kind of set the stage for what a grand prix car...
Ha! Pod fenders sitting above the body line and what sure looks like a front wing [ATTACH]
Let me think on that......its true of course, no question there but the thinking comes in how much I want to be authentic and how much hotrdding...
Thank you for the photoshop and this! And yeah, the issue is the rear wheels need to move back from the seating area which leaves a lot of bad...
got a drink and started playing with fender shape ideas......don't know.....I need to try a few different things I guess [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
still a lot to do but enough for today...its not terrible I don't think [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You're right up the road from me...maybe you'll take pity and come help :)
a lot of thoughts. There will not be a frame in the standard sense of 2 big channels or boxs running the length of the car, it will all be 1" or...
I've been down the force a V12 to sit transverse path....that is on the list of mistakes I don't think I want to repeat, 18 years and I've still...
You're finding all kinds of stuff I didn't know existed. These particular examples are more in the category of what I'm afraid I'll end up with...

sectioned 34 body...that could work [ATTACH]
Ok, scaling the image to fit the 110WB.....hmmmmmm...I just need to lower and section this thing. Which then begs the question should I perhaps...
just realized there was a HUGE error in the layout with the pedals at 76" when 45 is way more correct...meaning there is plenty of room to move...
37 Bugatti replica......I like elements on this [ATTACH]
The whole post is helpful (thanks) but I want to focus on these 2 points. I honestly had though a lot about tireOD.....I was using 25" because...
There are other transaxle options to shorten the wheelbase. The ferrari boxer and TR cars basically tuck it up under the engine. Years ago, well...
All good points. I'm eying the audi 0B1 or 0B3 that are wider with the diff kind of on the side, but have the axle very near the front. Then the...
That is exactly my fear. What I can build vs what I should build........... The original plan was a simple been done 1000s of times front engine...
Yes! This boondoggle all started the other day when I was sitting fixing a broken tig torch and looking at the engine in the corner....I was...
