Option 6
1.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Go the Blenheim Speedster route. No top, micro windscreen, tonneau cover. And if you do, shorten the body to 404 size - easy to do as the chassis ends at the rear axle, the boot hanging off the end is entirely surplus, thus you have a good panel beater slice out a hunk. http://quick.village-town.com/406-2.jpg Claude Last edited by Kevin H; 26-04-09 at 06:11 AM.

Option?
Just joined, guys. Great thread!
Speedster route interesting & fun, Claude. If chopping tail, how about grafting on back end of scrap 405 to get fins & 404 look! Alternatively, chop 18" out of 405 chassis & body to get 404 lookalike. Front doors look to be about same size, rear windows different, but I reckon it would look cute. You'd need to get hold of 404 torsion bars/mounts, or convert to coilovers. But back to your ragtop, Clyde.........it might be worth looking at Alvis hood & frame, if dimensionally similar; the morphed pic with 405 hood looks just like Alvis. Red Triangle bound to have drawings, if not parts on shelf. I noticed in early post that you are planning a 'left-field' engine, Clyde; please tell us more! Merry Xmas all, Rob
