Update:
Thought I would just put out a few things that are going on with Designs for the 33. I have been gathering pictures from the internet over a long time to get ideas of what actually people are doing. It has really got my mind running like a freight train on ideas
I know that some people here and at the other forum have been throwing around the idea of a Tudor or a Vicky also some kind of pickup.
I have a really cool design idea for a
Roadster/Coupe Pickup that would need some kind of new rear subframe, the subframe would also work with the
Tudor or Vicky body. Not sure which way I am going to go on the Tudor or Vicky body. Most popular in the retro look is the Vicky, but the Tudor has been becoming very popular as of late. The Tudor would give more room in the rear than the Vicky. So I am kind of leaning toward the Tudor, all depends on how it looks once mocked up.
Another idea I have for a alt body is a "true" Speedster with a track nose. The way I am thinking about it there could be a few different ways of doing this.
Speedster Plan
1st Version: would be of course a track front nose piece with a new hood with more rounded outer edges as you go forward, new engine panels. There would be a nice round rear roll pan. This version would require the least amount of work.
2nd Version:This version would require a lot of work on the part of the person doing the build.
The beltline would be sanded off front and back, only remaining part would be part way through the hood, doors, and part way back of the B pillar into the rear fender. All of the rounded trim around the whole body at the bottom and around the rear fenders would be sanded down to the body, including the rear wide area below the tail lights. This would give the car a more smooth rounded feel.
Of course there would be the new track nose, hood and engine panels.
The Rear Roll pan would be a nice rounded one.
3rd Version: I have put a lot of thought into this for a long time now, hopefully it can be done in reality.
This version would require a alt body. It would include everything in version 1 and 2 just already done. Plus the following.
Reshaped doors & body at the bottom to allow for "lake style" headers and sipe pipes. These doors could also be used just for people who would just like to have sipe pipes.
I am really excited about working on the Speedster and the Roadster/Coupe Pickup!
