Bravo, It's not easy making that body look that good.

Nice work Ben! I like that people are starting to think outside the box!! Plenty of good cars to start with out there.

Thanks guys!

When I get a chance to do these Dream Car submissions, I never do a mainstream car. I did a ProStreet 65 Cutlass, a 72 Charger and now this. I've always been the black sheep and my taste in cars is the same. I like everything that's marginally popular. I like the challenge of making people think twice about a car that is always past over when you walk down an aisle at a car show. It's easy to make the popular cars look good, everyone likes them anyway. Looks like I need to break down and do something for the blue oval boys next.

Wow! That looks cool! Great job. I agree with you about your subject matter. I always like a challenge.

Again, looks great. Is it going to be built?

Thanks Mike, yes this will be built. I'm actually scouring Craigslist and ebay for one already.

Very cool! Though, I think that might be the worlds largest two-seater!

Shiny Side Up!

The rear isn't totally worked out yet. The rear doesn't need much other than tucking the bumpers a little and a couple small details. I really like the sunken vertical taillights on these so I'll probably keep them.

I was going for a more European look too, thanks.

Al-I'm on the fence with the Nova.

Bill-"Roadster" may not be the best name for it. It actually still has the back seats, they're concealed by the 2 piece tonneau cover. This is another area that's not completely worked out. If it gets built it'll probably evolve.
