Nice transitions from Roth to '57 Chevy to VW. Will back wheels be under or outside the body ?
Cheers Eh!

The neutrino is an elementary particle which holds no electrical charge, travels at nearly the speed of light, and passes through ordinary matter with virtually no interaction. I needed to build another bubbletop car. I kept looking at Roth’s Road Agent and things finally started to react. On the bench was the rear section of a ’57 Chevy, so I reached for the Dremel. I cut off the fins from the ’57 and cut out a place for them on the Road Agent making sure the lines lined up. Not liking where the original bubble was sitting at that point I changed the bubble to an elongated one. The rear was missing some curves, so I cut up the rear of a VW Bug and added it in. I used the optional scoop for the hood. I since cut it down lower . I am considering using a ’55 Porsche Speedster engine. I will have the front axle extend further in front of the body. Much more to come. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it so far. Dave   [glow=red,2,300]GREAT LOOKING BODY!!![/glow] Real Nice Design... looks like a Zero-Gravity Racer in these photos! I'll be watching this one...  |

The wheels will be outside the body.

WOW, this is an excellent idea!!! Wish it was mine..... ;D
I'd make it a 3-wheeler and keep the wheels under the body, just like the Futurista!
