finally i am making new molds for my horried rear end
due to a lot of comments about my rear end (on the car) i have started to make new molds to lower the boot and make it a lot more pleasing to the eye
is this the right thing for me to be doing

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!

The only bit that bothered me was the bit under the driver's elbow - the sharp corner. Maybe putting some effort into blending the bit next to
the seats up into the back would help a lot.
The back itself didn't look any better or worse than many other offerings out there.

it just needs the sharpness of the angle
behind the driver head rounding off
where the roll bar base is
der, if that make any sense
stick with it you,ll get there in the end
when you start this journey
you think it will be done in " no " time but then " no " turns into a " bloody " long time

Always said Joe had an ugly rear end!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

joe, as above and if the rear wings met the edge of the rear pannel at the same height - would smarten the look (but not too bad to start with)
where in the world are you based???

Some curves would look nice.
Might make the tank a bit more awkward though.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I quite like the rounded version shown by peteff.
Although a bit more graphics training is required
Summer's here!!!!

Actualy I quite like the rounded rear end design, it would be nice to have something to differentiate it from other kits. Just don't go
overboard with roundyness at the back or it will end up looking like a Quantum.

You could take the mould straight off a Morris Minor bootlid...

Hmmmm....
Why not have a bolt on upper rear section (chassis wise) then you can keep the existing moulds / design.
Or change it with a small bolt on frame to the rounded boot, or even a Std Locost type rear end. Then have three GRP rear sections available. No-One
has done that, plus its not a huge amount of work to do it.
You can please all the people all the time can you. This way you could actually begin to achieve that!
Just my 2d worth.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Why not either copy everyone else and make the top edge curve like the wheel arch or try something radical like a flowing lip like on a
fury:
