The roof and taillights look fantastic.
I do have a question? Can you tuck the rear tires in at all? The stance is great, it just looks like the rear tires are rubbing the body.

Haven't got that far yet .It's just sitting on the tires right now.Did you notice the wheel wells are off from side to side about an 1/16 of an inch or more? I'm going to offset the tires a little bit if I can.The frame sets high in the car so I have to raise the suspension in the rear. |

Did you notice the wheel wells are off from side to side about an 1/16 of an inch or more? Front to back? I really never measure anything. I just use reference marks from one side to another. Now that you mention it, my tubs are off a bit in the back, I thought it was my screw up. |

Started working on the rear suspension.Still need to cut the springs down a little so the wheel lip just touches the rim.The front end is right were I want it.    Want it to sit more like this.<a href="http://s1234.photobucket.com/user/roadrunner1979/media/Monkeeys/IMG_2669.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff402/roadrunner1979/Monkeeys/IMG_2669.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_2669.jpg"/></a> And i just had to move the one wheel well back to line up with the other side.  I think it's going to be right hand drive too!

DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THAT SCOOP OFF!
Blowers and injectors are a dime a dozen on Showrods. Dare to be different, maybe put an Indy Car engine in there. Make your own custom plenum for it and a little detailing, they can be very impressive looking.
Let the eye enjoy the beautiful work and ideas on the car itself. Save the outrageous motors for builds like your Stagecoach.

You know my thoughts already (Keep the scoop) but the lines on the flat hood are wrong... Here's what I was talking about...  Or without scoop...  |

I personally find the hood, now too flat... An increase by the middle of the hood, would correspond to the upper fender design...  Here, quickly, what I mean...    Not so high, smoother, but in this direction... ... and as I said, my opinion. |
