Message so maybe you can catch it. There was one in the first season on the
design and building of the recent Shelby Cobra concept - that was VERY
cool. From the ideas to the drawings to the computer to the large
physical modeling machine (5 Axis) to clay to molds to actual body
panels to drivable machine... Engine design, interior design... Fascinating
to see what's involved, no matter what I think of the final design.

And I think it's only natural to be subliminally influenced by the shapes
we see around us; I didn't think you specifically looked to those other
cars for cues.

Personally I don't care for the front bumper sticking out so far - it looks
like Sweetums from the Muppet Show with his big bottom lip. ;-) And
the head-on view of the front looks cross-eyed. But I think you're doing
a nice job trying things out, and hey, you're the designer, so it's
whatever appeals to you. It would be interesting to see what the end
result would be if you kept tweaking it, throwing it out here for
comments, tweaking, etc., to see where it would go based on the
interests of this Z community... You could make a gallery from all the
iterations!

In any case, I always enjoy seeing what you post for us here. :-) Keep
it up!
