I'm not a fan of the first blue one's arches to be honest, they are 22B-esq, but I don't think they suit the newage shape.

It will be more like the bottom 2 cars once done..

Not sure if it will be wide arch, or std body width but with 10 wheels tucked underneath.


Neil, (Shawy), get your money out and I'll build you exactly what you require.

You're right. I liked the blue one at first but the rear arches (although nice in their own right) don't match the fronts.

I'm still unsure which car to do this too yet, as I have a few little ideas/upgrades for the white one over winter.


Anyway, having searched the interweb to see if any one has made a true 2 door with no success, I found these, all of which are photoshops.











I'd say just keep it standard looking. You can always wide arch it at a later date.

BTW GRD made a 2 door blob. I think they sold the shell after one of the guys that own / run GRD had a bad accident. There was a project thread on here a few years back.

Found the thread if you're interested. Just looking at the first pic of it on page 1 it doesn't look like the doors were extended.

No real progress to speak of I'm afraid chaps.

As is always the case once I start one of these projects, I get busy with work, and look like I will be until February.

No worries, I still intend on getting the 2 door frames finished soon as I can, and will get pics up soon as.

Cheers all.
