The taillights work better than expected but the fronts not so much

I'm interested to see the roof chopped one finished.
I agree about the rear lights on the blue one, I'm also not sure about the fronts.

Not a fan of the blue one tbh. The roof chop one looks interesting, although I’m not usually a fan of roof chops. Looks like the shape of the car lends itself well to that though.

Just for convenience sake I've copied the photo.  Personally, the mirrors and third brake light spoil the lines but I like the way the modern lights blend into the body. |

The blue one doesnt work for me at all, but the roof chop one? 110% potential to be something amazing, I'm thinking bonneville car or 60's style racer

Personally I don't like the front and mirrors, rear and colour works for me, if you want hidden mirrors why would't you use a camera / screens and completely lose them.
At the end of the day there are still loads of E-types around and it's refreshing to see people experimenting with them rather than obsessing about originality.

You would need to be a circus contortionist to get into the chop top one.

The blue one reminds me of the barn find Marina that was on here recently.

I love that they've had the guts to do that to the blue one, and I can see what they were trying to do, the rears seem to follow lines on the car really well, and the front sort of work, but better when you know what the rear is like. It wouldn't be my choice, but I like it.
That roof chopped one has got a lot going on with the adjusted door lines, and the bonnet line has gone. The roof looks really well done, my only gripe is that it makes the body below the waistline look fat.

Modern tat rarely looks good on classics, imo
The roof chopped one looks well, but the wheels don't sit right for me, cant decide if they're too big or too tucked under the arches... make it look like it was stanced by one those millenial hipster types that shove way too much camber on everything and drive around on their sidewalls

The roof chop is just what these always needed, people call them the most beautiful car ever and suchlike but the top always looked out of proportion.
The blue one though, I know we try not to be negative on here but the wheel proportions started OK, but the body just went all wrong.
Those lights are a perfect example of why you shouldnt necessarily do something just because you can.
For me it doesnt work in any way.
I also like how on the roof chopped one they have got rid of that bit between the door and the bonnet, that always looked like something patched in to fill an awkward gap, only made the proportions between front end length and roof height look worse.

Blue one I'm not liking.
Roof chop one looks great.
