The Timepiece won't have any doors, or opening sections, so I can't really use the door handles (though they are works of art); but once again you have hit really close to home with that last pic. That is the basic look and feel I want for the cockpit, squeezed down to a single "hump" though. Frameless windshield, curved dash, antique-appearing gauges in a painted dash, and everything real close together (short, narrow, cockpit) - twenties and thirties style.

In the last pic, the T-bucket body was the stock width in back and tapered just a tiny bit in front. I wanted to build the model in a similar fashion to how the actual car will be built; i.e. chopping a section out of the middle of the body and glassing it back together. I get a pretty good idea of what will happen when I start on the actual parts. Here I have narrowed the body, and rounded the rear wall a bit (might go a bit further there?). There are a ton of discrepancies in the surfaces, and the nose is way off because I am just trying to get the basic size and shape roughed in. I'll start going back in and correcting all this after I get the basic shape down.

I wanted to see how the new body would look on the chassis. I have to redo the frame rails now.
