Hmmm.....for those fiberglass rear fenders, I guess I'd have see them hanging on the car.....in the artist's rendering it looks like he's using some version of the original rear fenders, which keeps the rear a little more rounded & smooth, which I like, especially since it's already making a radical change to the roof line. I also like keeping the original style beetle front bonnet stretching out between those 32-ish front fenders kinda like Mick Jagger's tongue.

Keep Bob, Bob, Bobbin' along!

All good points... I find it interesting that the tougue was the only facial feature worth exploiting on Jagger's face? And he keeps it hidden most of the time! Anyway Im not sure about the fenders either. That is one of those things that I have laying around that might or might not get used. In looking this Model A roof over I might just forgo that and build one from scratch. I can build one and change up the bead lines to give it its own look... Not Henry Fords.

Want to see a tongue or two or three you wont forget this guys! The stitch work alone would make your toes curl...
