I pushed my rolling chassis outside after pulling the molds off. I then photographed and added some nice wheels and a bonnet in paintshop....gives you
some clue
looks good Alan
but hate to say it it needs some sort of rear spoiler not to big just to finish the rear off.
Yeah possibly...easy done though....
Time for a new avatar then Alan, it even looks better in real life, than it did on that drawing!
Very good job, I'm very impressed with your work. I'm starting on the bodywork of my Seven next week. Wish me luck...

Alan,
as they say in the midlands........its looking bosting mate!
It looks really small next to that tree trunk, is it small or is that just a typically bigger and better yankee tree
Col....
Both...little car, big tree....LOL
Cheers.....bosting huh?
to bost something is to break or to crack it................bosting = cracking, not in the soul destroying grp/plug cracking kind of way but in the
"looking gooooood" kind of way
Oh , that will be BOOSTING then ? as in "gone in 60 seconds" Boosting cars.
BTW, Very nice job mate !
That's how we talk round here. It would be spelt bursting though.
Tis a properjob me'ansum, as us straw chewing yokels say down here.
It looks wonderful in the flesh (a cue for smutty comments from Alan)
Ian
or dong dappa as some would say up ere!
Dawdy mush, done a cushty job of that screeve Chav.....
That would be Newark gypo speak for a really nice job mate, a great looking car.
Gypo=trailer trash...

Looks great Alan - what colour are you set on for body - will you fit rear diffuser/undertray as well as wing?
cheers
Rob
Fahrgiiing Awwwwesome Duuuude! (West Coast USA surfer drawl...)
It does look teeny. But very sporty and much better in the flesh than in your old avatar and the avatar looked great. So you have done a fantastic
job!
Thanks all (I think..LOL)
The wheelbase is the same as the MR2 (around 93" IIRC) but of course the overhangs are much less...so it's small, but not really tiny
IMO....
Very Very nice indeed. Now it just needs some hundred-spoke daytons and hydraulics.

well if you want to go fast red is the FASTEST color available, but you should also look into a bright orange or yellow.
I really think though that your car would look good in yellow, not bumblebee yellow, more of a neon yellow.
see if you cant get someone to photochop it into yellow.
Color is a tough deal. To make it worse, are you painting it to please yourself or to please everyone else (as in, putting it forward as
advertising.)
For the body shape, silver is The correct color as it shows off the curves and lines the best. But, it doesn't have the
grab-them-by-the-throat-and-throw-them-to-the-ground attention power...
I think it looks good in all kinds of colors!

Very dramatic wedge styling.
It looks very high at the back. That's not a critisism, just an observation. Does it really need to be so high at the back to clear the engine or
is this a styling effect to emphasise the wedge profile?
Curious.
I definatly think that the yellow and black look the best

You will have to show/tell me how to do that properly one day...I can only seem to do certain colours...![]()
Beautiful job Alan. Have you decided on the actual wheels you want? They can make a huge difference to the final look.
Hugh.
Yes, I quite like the ones I have pasted in..I think it is the ASA JS5 from the tire rack in here in the US (or possibly the JS1)

Erm...no, I believe they are scaled up a little....
Perspective? remember, the Meercat is only 4 foot long!
