right, no one laugh. this is how far i've got with the body.
first time at doing this.
got one door outer frame in hole, need to get more steel for
other side.
got the cowl and front bulk head to start yet, which i think
will change the looks making it not seem so wide.

I thought you were dropping a vintage coup or similar cab onto
the chassis, not making up your own? It'd be a lot easier that
way surely?

wheres the fun in that? only one i could afford would be
f/glass. that would need a metal frame work anyway.
don't know how it will end up looking, will have suicide doors,
opening screen. mix of everything.
