He doesn't appear to have got the body proportions quite right but it's interesting to see his techniques. (Body is too long and too high.)

Agree - The skill shown is impressive though! I wonder about the radiator surround which looks wrong ie edges too rounded badge plinth not right perhaps he will remedy that in final fettling. In the assembled (loosely I suppose) pics the line from the top of the rad to the scuttle falls giving a broken chassis look. I've seen one or two rebuilt/rebodied real pre war saloons where this has been allowed to happen one being an 18/80 saloon and it reallyspoils the appearance to my eye.
I only wish I could do even half as well however -------

Yes the radiator looks totally wrong but I guess it can be fettled without affecting much else.

The car in the ash frame photo that he used now belongs to friend of mine and I and he were quite amused to see it used. It's from the advert that my friend bought it from which is still on the web.
