Musings on Design for a Special

[Jamie]

Good morning.

Duncan and Grieg:

Thank you for the thoughts, comments and suggestions.

I like I agree that the lower, raked bonnet line looks good, as does the roof line in your drawing, Duncan.  I had been trying for a design where the cabin height looks lower than the body height, to try and avoid the impression of being top heavy. However, I am not quite sure whether I achieved it.

The rake of the windscreen is the original Ruby rake as I plan to retain the existing scuttle and doors. My panel beating skills are rudimentary, although I have done a lot of copper work. I have access to all of the necessary panel forming equipment, but need to learn how to use it.

Regards,

Jamie.
