That thing is groovy! How did she not burn her legs?

 

I think you climb in the back.......

 

Another J&J Chassis build, The signature Corvette rear end deep dish steering wheel and ck out that front spring set up.

 

That is actually pretty cool! Looks like it could fly!

 

Fake.

 

This is how the Vern Matsushita C Cab looks today, each to their own but I think it has been ruined because when I saw the original I thought it was the best looking C Cab I had ever seen.

 

Above is the buck I have built to try and replicate the Dan Woods orignal.

 

I've got to agree with you, it is just not the same car now. The original version was spot on and didn't need changing.

I read about you building this somewhere. Do you have any more info or links?

 

Hi twenty8, you probably have seen it before because I have been working on it for a long time but not getting very far forward, need to get my finger out. That is the second buck that I have done, I did take a mold of of the first buck but was never that happy with the shape so didn't do a body. The dimensions of the first are very good, the area I wasn't happy with though was that it was a bit high at the belt line at the seating area. I know someone in the States that has an unused original body and he gave me the dimensions from that and it confirmed my doughts on the first. This one is slightly shorter and lower. I am also working on my chassis which will be opposed coil like the original.
