George,
I have no problem with you're trying to do, but my only comment, or question, is this. Since there are already two real SSJs, and several poorly done "replicas," and since your car is going to basically be made up from scratch, why not build something unique?
But on the subject of the "SSJ" roadsters, there was nothing complicated about those bodies. In fact, Randy Ema told me they were the two least expensive Duesenbergs ever built. It shouldn't take an expert any time at all replicating the body from photos. I'd contact D&D in Covington, Ohio and maybe they can offer some advice. They're in the business of making bodies from scratch.
i was watching some of the videos from jaylenosgarage, and there is a guy that has the original blueprints for the cars, may want to look there..
Thanks to all you guys for the ideas and words of encouragement! George Albright
