I posted this 544 Fenderless in the Gallery.

It is just a "Photoshop" car. I really like it and am going to build one similar from a 1958 444 I just bought.

The 444 I just bought has 4 bad fenders, bad bumpers, no floors or trunk floor but the body itself with the hood and trunk lid are usable.
Basically I am building a car that would have been crushed.
Fortunately the rust was from rain not salt.

I will have all the mechanical parts motor/ trans, rear axle, front suspension complete with crossmember for anyone who might need them.

Fantastic! that is awesome.
My 544 was a World of Wheels Chicago 2020
Won first place Class: '60 to '69 custom hardtop

Congratulations skeetman

Yes, I saw those build photos of singinc's progress.

I was asking skeetman if he could post photos of his car.

Sorry Randy. Reminds of Pink Panther - Does your dog bite? No. (bitten by dog) I thought you said your dog doesn't bite? That's not my dog.

No apology necessary.

Inspector Clouseau was a likeable guy, thanks for that memory:

Outstanding progress! What engine/tranny/rearend?

1993 S10 truck 2.8 L throttle body injection, 5 spd and S10 rear end.

That's a pretty cool haircut.

If you're offering the the mechanical bits, does that mean you're re-powering/springing it with something different? What's to go under it?

Cheers,
Will

XC60 / Odyssey

Probably a Mustang II aftermarket front suspension with tubular control arms, either conventional coil springs or coilovers. Front track width will increase from approximately 52.5" to 56.5" or 58" depending on choice of rotors. I will move the front axle position forward 2" to 4".

The rear will be a trailing arm with coil springs or coilovers and a panhard bar same as stock just beefier.

I may use a Chevy S-10 truck rear axle, the track width will increase from approximately 52.5" to 54". I will use deep reversed rims to match the front track and allow for bigger tires on rear.

For the engine I am considering a V6 over a V8 since the V6 will be about 4" shorter and not intrude into foot room as much.

Maybe an automatic overdrive transmission since the shifter location on a modern manual 5 speed may not be in the most comfortable position.

All of this will be sitting on a 2" x 3" x 1/8" wall steel tubing frame that I will build.

Interesting and I like it but getting in and out will prove difficult! Cue Duhhhh moment from the designer..........

Through the window, NASCAR style....
