Just a few pictures of my latest brainchild... This is just a hobby for me, I don't claim to be any type of draftsman, craftsman, panel beater, etc... This is all done from scratch.
It started with a vintage Formula Vee Chassis. The chassis can run VW or Porsche 4 cylinder engines... Here is a rough fitment of my floor pans/rockers.
Next I level/balance the car and begin scratch building a buck.
I pencil out the wheel to wheel profile of this mid-engined "Special" from my minds-eye.
I now fit and refit to determine the exact height, width and rake. I build the opposing side at the same time and screw the two together for a final shaping and sanding.
Now its time to start giving some shape to the side side to side profile.
My next step is to shape the nose and then work my way back to the tail.
I cut the nose, determine the high and low points (or inner and outer) and build stringers off of them to give my front end the shape I'm looking for.
I do the same with the tail and then determine the rake of each of the high and low lines and tie them together.
Finally one half of the car is a mirror image of the other so the body is taking shape. There is still fine shaping to be done but I am very pleased with the look so far. View from the front.

I began a rough fit of my panels.
Thanks for looking and Happy Motoring~
