i’m working on correcting the proportions now for the stretch. I think I’m getting close. This is a 5” stretch in the upper doors & side windows.

Dropped the engine/transaxle combo back in place so I can fabricate firewall & check bodywork fitment.

 

[Brian Kissel]

Looking good Steve !! Always enjoy your progress updates.

I agree with Brian! Always enjoy your updates on this fabulous creation!
Where abouts are you located? If I’m ever in that area, I’d love to see it in person!

Have you toyed with the idea of splitting the front fender to widen from the top vs the flare on the side?

 

[steve]

Of course, I’m definitely going to split & widen…looks to be about 3” on both sides.
Does anyone know where I can get some door handles, hinges and maybe some headlight units?
I think I can fab about everything else for the most part, I would like a few original style parts to add some nostalgia.

I think Mac McClendon in Florida carries all the original hardware.

Does anyone have Mac’s contact info so I can send him an email?
Thanks!
Steve

Steve - just out of curiosity, is this your first mid-engine build?
