Austin Seven Ace
I just finished drawing an Austin Seven Ace that is Norm Marshall influenced. I liked the Model T people are building and wondered what I could come up with after seeing this:
1929 AUSTIN SEVEN ACE - JUST Cars
Anyway this is it. (See the pictures attached.)
I might have to change the size of the wheels and some of the curves when I match tools to the job.
Let me know what you think.

That is cool. My only suggestion is make the boattail rounder or more of a curve versus a triangle. Can't wait to see it built.

Can I suggest doubling the length of the tail...?? If you have look at the photos of the car, the rear is way past the end of the tyres...

Mike John,
Here is a pic from a set of plans for an Aurburn speedster. Maybe it will give you a reference for the boattail.

Austin Toy Car
I just finished my Austin Seven Ace which I designed.
Here's a very short youtube video:

Thank you.
It is a rare roadster body. I based it on this car and tried to make it look cute:
