Why I changed a 1923 T into a 1927 C bucket roadster

  Ok so this post is a bit out of order but like I said on the opening page it is different from your average blog in that things posted have already happened so the order of posting is a bit flexible. I have been asked to detail more clearly where I deviated from the original Chevrolet design and why.       I made some changes for aesthetics and some for more practical reasons.   My basic theory comes from examining the cars I really like and trying to figure out why I found them so appealing.   Watching an interview with Chip Foose one day he condensed his design theory into a simple form even I could understand.   Basically it consists of looking at the overall design and taking away any ugly or distracting parts while improving the overall flow of the vehicle.   Anything that stands out as out of place or disturbs the flow of the lines should be fixed.   Details should appear only on close examination but should disappear when you ...

Well I just had to put the lights on there for fun.  There were already holes and I was just really curios to see how they would look. Grill to body alignment is really important so I wanted to make sure mine would be right. I raised the shell 1 1/2 " and as you can see from the tape stretched along the length the alignment seems just right.  Final alignment will be determined once she is on her wheels and the engine is in place.  More to come so stay tuned!
