I have finally acquired a body shell for the project which will hopefully see me finish this year!!! Shock horror rob :-)

The only detail is its a classic body and i have an RT chassis so i've some butchery to be done. Now part of me loves the look of both of these cars so what do i do with the arch areas. Buy the stuff to make it widder from Tim - i belive he sell the extra moulded sections or put some flared/bubble arches on it?

I think it'll look very 9146 porsche esq with buble arches on a classic....

I think your going to get 3 sets of replies;

Those with RTs obviously like the styling so will suggest that route.

Those with Classics will probably suggest bubble arches, certainly I will as I think they would suit the look.

Those who have gone there own way (yes I'm talking about you Nissanman) will suggest that route - I’m still trying to think which car those openings behind the doors remind me of one of the early Porches perhaps???

Here's what my interpretaion of bubble arches looks like on a Classic.
Still a bit of filling & fettling to go, but your get the idea :D
