Whenever I make a change in the configuration of something (radius wheelwells, chop, section, french taillights, etc.) I usually shoot a picture and photoshop the changes on the computer. Have you done that, Dave? I'm anxious to see how this will look...

Nope, wouldn't even know how to began..... I just look at it, decide what I want, and go to work!!!! I use posterboard and make a lot of templates, tape them on the car, stare at them for awhile, then decide if I like it or not!!!!!

Falcon, thanks, having fun with this build, for sure!!!!! Probably going to leave a lot of people scratching their heads, got me scratching my head to figure out how I want to do things!!!!!
and...sometimes I just listen carefully and let the car tell me what it wants!!!!!!Last edited by Dave Severson; 08-27-2012 at 01:36 PM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Well, one fender roughed in, then I shot some primer on it to get a better look..... I'll leave the final body work till the mock up part of the build is complete, then put the front end on the stand and finish up the body work on it!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

If I could just somehow figure out how to fit one of John's 815 inch Ford Hemi's into the budget, life would be great, wouldn't it!!!!!!!????????

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
