Corvette/Scarab

[Steve Hamilton]

I'LL third it !!!

Reskinning a car is a large project, but a lot less than building it from scratch.

You have got a nice flowing body design, proportions are good too.

On the Rear wheel well what do you think about a radius from the rocker panel to the well and also a radius at the back of the well also.

just enough to get away from the square look.

Hello, The rocker was mocked up about a year ago and is trimmed to short for the opening. I will be "fixin" the opening once the real fender geats closer. Ray

Nice work!

Nice job. It's coming along fast too. At this rate you'll have your hair blowing in the wind by spring

Ray,
I thought some of these pictures may help you firm up your design. Your car comes across to me as a 50's era Italian road racer. The pictures from the Cuban Grand Prix have some real classic cars from that era. The story about the people involved is great as well!

Messing up one day at a time. My buck had a working door but i did not add the jamb/joggle detail.

Door no open............... re-design

Working away, I decided i need to make a bunch of small test panels all the way around the car for practice, design,structure and function. That way i do not wreck a big panel that i spend day's on. Ray

Pulling the buck off the nose. Time to design the under structure and radiator mounts. Ray

Made a tilt frame and some quick inner fender panels...
now the hard part of making and transfering the for keeps panels. Ray
