    very cool images there ... nice job :clap:

    There was a big bumper 2 door near me that would have been a perfect roadster starting point ... nice solid car that the vinyl roof ate the metal, but that was a year ago now.

    I love the wagon images. They look a bit like the wagon kits that were out for Vettes in the 80s ... almost a fastback wagon.

    I have always loved panel trucks and think these would look good that way, too.

    The back door could be adapted from some sort of hatchback. It would be a lot easier than trying to make a tailgate work.

    Sweet!!!! I like it. Now if you'd just give me one of those rear spoilers your working on it would be perfect.

    Travis, that is sweet!! The roadster is cool especially if you live somewhere warm(not around me) but that wagon...WOW!! I really like the first one better, I like the looks of the C-piller in that one better.

    Of course the windows would be the most expensivepart , because to look right it would have to have curved glass to match the door glass....but thinking about some of the other parts...you could use 69/70 mustang upper 1/4s to get a good contour to flow from the back edge into the B-piller, that would give you a very clean 90 degree break over the top edge. Then there is the back, woudl have to see it with the top on it to figure out the width and start looking.

    Again, AWESOME job and thoughts, thanks for sharing.

    When I get my Maverick done. I may look for a junker body to try this on. As long as it has solid fenders and quarters, it would work fine. Im going to do a few more renderings of the Roadster concept from different angles to get an overall better feel.

    I wish I was as good at altering photos. I would have so many different cars chopped up so many ways into so many combinations. But then again its probly better I cant do that. I'd want to build them all.

    Not saying anyone couldn't but you also have to have a mind for what Travis is doing. Look at the artist work he does and the renderings he has done. It helps to have a artist eye even to do a photo chop and make it look good.

    That Roadster looks pretty good but I like a regular convertible. Here is a couple of pictures I did of my Sprint and my 71 few years ago. Gave me the inspiration to start actually building one. Not near as good as yours but you get the idea. As most know, I do have a Maverick convertible in the works. I hope someone builds that wagon.

    The wagon looks great!!! Reminds me of the BMW M coupes which I love.
    Great Job!
