Next, try the Moggy cab back in place. It's about 2 inches narrower than the Pop but nothing that can't be fixed. Looks promising, (we've deliberately cut the Pop an inch too long so we've got room to trim it exactly later).
That chasis still looks kinda flimsy to me.

No sills fitted here. They finish flush with the underside of the chassis. Body's just propped in place.

The cab will sit 6 inches lower, with another 4 inches cut out of the roofline. That'll hopefully bring the side windows down to exactly the same height as the standard Moggy Minor rear window. By Z ing the chassis, rather than channelling the body, there'll still be headroom inside. The seats can be moved back 6 or 7 inches to improve legroom. The front axle will be mounted 8 inches further forward to give more engine room & bring the front edge of the tyres in line with the radiator grille. The rear axle will also be shunted back to visually balance things out a little more. The pick up bed will be short & sporty, (to be honest, it's only there for show -I won't be hauling much in it). Might mount the original oval Pop fuel tank in the bed behind the cab. The top of the pick up bed will be level with the bonnet. Tall, skinny 50s style crossply truck tyres with black cycle guards on them.
Any observations? Constructive criticism gratefully received guys.
