Roger: I agree that the MG PB Airline is a very pretty car and it was in my mind when I did my first drawing.
Martin: I shall be interested to see how your plans progress. They will no doubt be quicker than mine.
Like you, I have tried a number of times to come up with a balanced design for my car, based on the Airline. I have also concluded that, at least within my limitations, the Seven is too short to really work with the style. The sketch which I have published is the best of a large number of attempts and still looks, to my eyes, rather like an overgrown Dinky toy.
On my shell, the bottom couple of inches of the bulkhead / A pillar, the B pillar and all around the bottom at the back are rotted away. I plan to lose height in the body by chopping out the rot and dropping the shell down a little. The roof is also well rotted in places, so will be coming off.
Regards,
Jamie.
