The first 4ish minutes you had me scratching my head. Then I was only lost for the next 20 minutes or so, then when you made a few more pieces and filled in the holes with paper I think I finally understood your direction. You have so much confidence when cutting parts and panels! I'd be crapping my pants! Good work!🇨🇦👍

It’s shaping up pretty nice. I dig the longer look, basically, leaving the rear wheel arch to roof line as it sits. Especially with a front end that’s like a straight 8 length nose, if that makes any sense. Took me a bit to see what you were imagining, but throwing the paper up there made it make sense. Can’t wait to see how this turns out!

Yup, I'd section the rear end forward to match the rear wheel well with the back of the roof section. That will bring it all into proportion and avoid that Zephyr look like you ended up with on the Pontiac. Lots of work, that is for sure. It is definitely taking on the chopped 35-36 Ford 3 window profile. Thank you for taking us along. The entertainment is much appreciated as well as educational.

Brent this brings memories of the General when you were putting it together, all the small pieces around doors.

I'd suggest doing the "B" pillars next that way it is easier to shape than roof panel filler pieces. I agree the rear window needs to drop down too. I think what is throwing off the look with the quarter panels is on the 36 Ford 3 window the doors are longer than what you have.

Impressing job! Before cutting the back, you may want to mock up the front and get an idea of the car's global proportions. That may help you decide by how much you want to shorten the rear, if at all.

It will be interesting to see just how you do the back window because i agree with you that it is a bit too big.. I think bringing the wheel opening up a bit will make it all flow so much better to.. Great video man..
