Here are 16 photos of the 1940 Darrin Convertible Sedan. According to the owner the only un-modified body panel is the trunk lid, and that came from a coupe. The rear fenders were lengthened 9 inches using 2 rear fenders to make-up each one. The doors are totally new, note the wood structure and turnbuckles. The dash/firewall is a cast aluminum affair in 3 pieces (top, and 2 sides). The hood has been lengthened. The windshield frame, when installed, is also a special cast piece. The body is about 4 inches narrower than stock. The running board have been removed. The outside door handles are also special pieces. Hopefully you will be able to read the engineering drawing photos. Can't wait to see it finished at next year's meet.
