    either i drank too much coffee, or im too excited to type,,,,,mocked up a bubble skirt,,,fabbed up from a shoebox roof panel,,,keep in mind i left a little extra along the edges so i can fold it over (about 1/2" inch all around, so the skirt will actually appear a little slimmer when finished,,,,,i think i HAVE to do this,,,,,,,,

    i'm also leaning heavily towards "concaving" the cove area...

    Do it both ways. When you want it to look long, slim and attractive -- no skirts.When you want it to look short, chubby and unattractive -- use the skirts. It's that easy.

  7. What he said! Looks like a factory concept or coachbuilt car until you put the skirts on. Skirts make it look heavy.

    James D, Your current photo shopped version is in my opinion - Perfect ! I wouldn't change any thing .

    Jim, You got to keep the skirts. They make the car.

    Don't worry, I dont plan to be back in the North East for a loooooooooong time! :D

    Hey, why don't you throw a visor and some flame throwers on it too? lol....

    the latest version with the skirts is better than the first, but I'm still not sure it's the right direction.
