The inside of the windshield pillar area looks a little "off" next to the rollbar, and the side window area looks like the doors or glass should wrap inward at the top.

Without the wrap, the owner will need a bailing bucket. Other than that, not bad.

Very nice. It reminds me of the Porsche 550 Le Mans Coupe.

The rear flares could have been incorporated with the natural lines of the trunk better. I would ditch the rear vents. The paint is not my style but the lines are nice.

I don't think a tall person can fit under the roof, thats why the sides of the roof aren't there, to allow entry. The windshield has been laid back also I think. Nice overall shape but the scoop and the side scallops in front of the rear wheels are not to my taste. The rear needs re styling with a diffuser added to hide the tranny. It's probably got all the rear stuff to keep a aircooled motor though.

I think it is sorta neat. Needs a roof rack and a surf board.

I dont understand why the tail light area on many kits is left un-addressed. There seem to be a few kits (even race based) where the trailing edge of the rear fenders have huge gaps. If you are going to go to allof that trouble, what not spread the tail light panel too? (like this....)

I saw that 356 at T-hill YEARS ago. Pretty neat!



Scott.

I think the issue with that is that you have to actually cut into the trunk to do that..

This one shows some real metal fabrication talent.
