Are you sure you don't wanna put windows in there? I think that that would show the coke-bottle styling to it's greatest extent IMO. You could always put a dark tint on them and use it as a van? Is the glass flat? Looks bloody great though. Is that a '32 rail on the shelf?  |

the way I'm doing the side panels will show off the body line you'll have to wait till its done for the finished result.
the rails on the shelf are actualy FX4 taxi they were going to go under a moggy but now just live on the shelf

I know I'm repeating myself here, but the 'Tina looks great!  |

Cool!  I always liked the idea of a Hackney cab being customised, maybe a 3.5 Rover in there, type 9 box, Volvo 960 back axle, etc etc, but looking like a standard but tidy old taxi, and then blowing everyone away!  Especially for those that live in London - free parking, being able to drive in bus lanes etc etc ;D |

That van looks very nice! Looking at your sketch, is it going to be two tone (split on the side panel cokebottle swage line)? If so, what colours?

Black and a dark purple would look cool.
Or black and maroon, either way, something sinister needs doing ;D

I remember seeing one exactly like that in streetmachine /custom car a few years ago, totally standard looking bodywork except it was tube framed and tubbed with a big V8, can anyone else remember it/pics etc |

Now that you mention it I might do. I'm sure I saw a double decker AEC Routemaster London bus that had had it's roof chopped and lowered on both decks as well(!) Now that must have been some job! How the hell did they do that?
