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
