Im pretty sure we are settled on this as our next project car after "Altered State" is completed.  Heres just some propped up sample pictures of the body resting on the "Mopower" chassis. I believe this would be a very interesting undertaking since to the best of my knowlege this kit has never been offered ever.    |

Interesting project indeed. Some major bodywork would be necessary to get the altered wheelbase correct. Any plan yet as to how you will accomplish this? Looking at the stock body, my first thoughts were to section out the wheel openings and move them forward. A second body would be ideal for filling the gaps back out to the rears of the wheel openings. In this manner you can basically preserve the body lines and avoid having to rescribe the doors. It also appears a minor "gentleman's chop" would be necessary at the "A" pillars, as well as laying back the "A" pillars to duplicate the forward downslope of the roof.
This will be an awesome project and I, for one am very excited to see it built.

I have been studying the body intensly.
I know from back halfing cars (Tubbed) here at the shop about reconstruction of bodylines and what not.
This will be fun Ron and you are barking up the right tree when it came to the body formula.
Thats the only real way to do it RIGHT.
The gentlemans chop just seems to be just an a pillar drop which is a snap. It will be time consuming but fun as hell and VERY unique too.
