Nice work...Makes me want to break out my old drawing gear....(never enough time) I've noticed some really talented folks here when it comes to the art department. I like seeing other peoples takes on how things should look. Got any more you'd like to share?

Thanks for the compliments :D I have a quite a few lying around here somewhere, thats one of my better ones though. I'm trying to work with less popular cars and trucks I accually might have a chance of getting. :p As for where I live in SC, alittle bit outside Fort Mill. Like a mile from Carowinds and they still consider it Fort Mill :rolleyes:

Heres another drawing I did today, its a 70 Volkswagen Beetle, like the one I own, and am working on. Cept it has no fenders, the entire top has been cut off, a carson top and a DuVall windsheild have been put in their place. The stock door hinges and door handles have been shaved and replaced with hidden versions, on the opposite end of the door of course, making them suicide. All of the trim has been shaved, the hood has also been louvered. The entire back end has been cut off, exposing the firewall which has been smoothed. The stock dual torsion bar front suspension has been replaced with a classic dropped I-beam axle and batwings. Twisted Vista billet wheels all around, along with wilwood brakes. The interior would be replaced with a 32 Ford dash, red tuck and roll uphostry, a bench seat, and a billet steering wheel. As for the engine and tranny, its a built volkswagen tranny with a custom adapter plate, bolting it up to a Harley v-twin. A small Moon style aluminum tank will be used to hold the engine's oil, and fish tail exhaust tips round off the whole package. Whew, I think thats it. :D Take a look :p Oh yea, and the stock cooling vents on the car's rear have been shaved as well, since theres no back end, why bother? :p Thanks for looking again :D

Heres another hot rodded VW I drew, I think this is the direction I'm really going to go with it. Completely slice off the top, again, a DuVall windshield. Everything shaved. A louvered hood. A ford front I-beam again, with the batwings and all. Same suicide doors with hidden hinges. No fenders, and no back end. The back end will be made to look like an old `28 or so Ford, curved and such, but it'll be made that way under the little bit of VW left above it. It'll either have an old Model A axle or a corvette style rear suspension hanging out of the back in clear view. Boyd Smoothie II rims all around with wilwood brakes again. But the engine will be set in the front this time. A 300 ci Ford inline six, if thats too tall or too long, I'll just put a small block in it I suppose. I dunno what tranny yet, but it'll be built a little, whatever it is. I believe this is what I'm really going to do with it, I'm gonna give VW purists heart attacks, but its just a piece of steel after I think about it. So when I get the cash and all, time to snip, cut, and weld. :mwink:
