Hi Walter, a friend notified me of your project, if you would like I have more pics (will attach a couple) and can help you with any details I remember ("If you remember the '60s you weren't there").?
The basis for "The Spy Machine" a 1961 Valiant Signet. Note: both axles were moved forward, the front (solid) so that the curve of the fender touches behind the bumper (one piece fiberglass front clip), the rear radius is larger and higher, the hood scoop was one off not from any car. Attached: Mission, BC (1968), same photo customized by photographer friend & me at Van Isle Raceway (Vancouver Island) waiting to make a pass.
