The roof line is eventually going to work with the mx5's roof and the door windows. So if you think like the lancia fulvia coupe hf it'll bit like that but lower and fitting in with window line scale. I really like the boot angular
Bit stuck on door handles . Was thinking of adapting what's their using a metal plate in the shape of the Alfa handles so its raised to flow with the doorskin.
Went for the Alfa handles in the end. Arrived today at 1pm. Along with the seals. Just need some taillight bulbs to finish the electrics. I've gone for a db radio so can get a clear signal.
Dear dsg4me. Chris and I have been looking at using the windscreen of a reliant scimitar as the rear screen just wondered if you could see how that looks on the Alfa Italia mix you came up with. If your able to do it by scale then can see the angle it creates . The Italia Alfa is looking more possible:-)

Thanks proof in the pudding. Chris has got a roof and glass surround so one step closer. Hopefully it'll line up some how. Looks good for the roofline.
I'm aiming for the Italia look. Hopefully the stretching and fitting will start soon. Got some bulbs to get for the tailights.got some mesh to get as well for the grill.
Finally getting around to Joe's Alfa/MX5 project. Individual panels have now been 'glassed together before hanging the front and rear sections on Joe's car to see what needs moving where:
Nice work, I have been sceptical with the ever evolving, goal post moving concept behind this build but now I get it! A nice departure from the other Italian brand too.
Looking forward to the next update, good luck Chris, Dan and Joe.
I stopped posting pics as mine has been quietly evolving in the background.
It started out db4 zagatoish - to my ever changing sketch - to a exp10 inspired - the latest incarnation.
In truth I would have been happy with any of my visions turned into reality.
But a creative mind is a restless mind and while I can not disagree with you Zag is mad. I do relate to his creative journey.
