Its actually quite a good simple idea. The ideas been around for a few years now. Mainly in the Yank scenes. Take one 1950s car then cut the shell off and weld it onto a 1980s onwards chassis. Get all the brakes, pas,engine mounts in 1 go. So all the reliability of a modern car and the looks of an old classic.
Good Luck, any more progress pics. Was there any difference in the track of the cars (Escort vs Sierra) or are the wheels gonna stick out a little from the arches?
