'33 Dream

[MT-ED]

I used the fabulous photo of Eric's car as a rendering basis because it is a nice large resolution which makes modifying it a lot easier.

I appreciate this design won't be to everyone's taste, but that's what keeps our hobby interesting :D

One day maybe I'll build it..................................

Just do it. Life's too short to care what others think and it's your money.

I like your design. The quick change rear end will take some fabrication, but nothing is impossible. Thanks for posting your dream.

Ridetech's car looks to have a relatively simple set up in order to mount it in the car.

Probably need some chassis bracketry changed and moved around. I put a Volvo axle into a 1951 Austin Pickup once on coil-overs using the stock Volvo upper 4-bar arms with fabricated lower arms picking up on existing spring mounts on the chassis. So I'm cool with this kind of stuff :cool: The set up was basically like the FF 4-bar.

It was my daily-driver, commuting to work car. "Normal" cars bore me.

Nice! I like the big headlights. Simca is cool, I've never seen one in motion...

MT-ED, that fiat simca, I remember those pics, didn't remember it in Hot Rod mag though, but then it's been a long time...lol

That mockup of your 33 looks pretty good!
