I dont know; if they sectioned it a few inches, lowered it, and lost the top, it might make an intersting take off on a 50's T-bird 2 seat roadster.

Somehow I missed several of the earlier posts. To eliminate confusion, I'm in Gardner, KS not Goodland. Gardner is on I35 on the SW edge of the metro KC area while Goodland is waaaay out west nearly in Colorado. I'd like to do Bonneville some day, too, but it probably needs to be with an experienced team. Of course, after Worlds Fastest Indian..... I'm also going to make the SEMA show one day, once I find the right contact.

Let me do some checking on Heartland Park, probably early next week.

Dave,
Sent you a PM with some contact info, and some details of Heartland's features.

rs I kinda like that short 2dr , but I would have kept the rear end back a little farther and not so much a altered wheel base .

Been doing a tune up on the front fenders. Reshaped a bit from my original plan but should still help move some air around the front wheel wells rather then just stacking it all up behind the tire! Just a bit of trimming and tucking left on the bottom of the new piece!

It all takes time anything custom requires a lot more work than stock. Taking shape real nice

You got that right Charlie!!!! Already have so many hours in the '57, and haven't even ordered the tubing for the frame and cage yet!!!!!!

Nice job Dave, Its looking good.

That looks slick Dave!!!

Looks great, Dave!

Seemless, you one of those Boyd Boys in disguise? Nice job Dave.

Thanks guys, lots of hours in the front end, and lots more hours to go on the rest of the body.

Still trying to come up with something that will improve air flow in the headlight area, wasted lots of posterboard on that one so far!!!!!!!

Got a piece shaped and tacked in place between the bumper and headlight opening. Have to look at it for a couple days and decide if it's going to work. Should certainly keep air from stacking up in the area that used to be open. Probably a stainless tube grille??? When I get the 'glass bumper built, it will be attached to the new piece here and in front of the wheel opening. Bottom of the bumper is level with the bottom of the fender opening, might be a good place for a bit of a pan and maybe a small spoiler???

How about a small chin spoiler? Maybe round the ends as the body is so round...

Is that what the one's were called like the old Camaro's had??? If so, that's kind of what I'm thinking might help moving some air around the car rather then under????
