Here are some stylized photos of the machine. If you stand back and squint from a distance you can get a good idea of how it will look. It is starting to look fairly trim: 14 inches shorter, 4 1/4 inch section, and the loss of the tall roof. It will be lower yet when up to full weight and the the possible loss of a leaf in each rear spring.
Have to do some rework at the rear as I made the landing spot for the spare too high on the trunklid. The tire--which will be larger diameter--is set about where I would rather.
Found these cool Chrysler rims that fit the Clipper bolt pattern. The smooth concave shape reminds me of early thirties disc wheels. The center cap is the reactor turbine from an Ultramatic convertor.
I am looking for another of these wheels btw.
