Here is the half aluminum 356 that I made from flat 3003 .o63 stock. I am "Self taught" but I must admit that school or apprenticeship would have served me better. I would have done alot of things differently if given a time machine. The doors are spot welded steel frames with .050 aluminum skins. The aluminum is panel bonded to the Original steel chassis. I made the dash from scratch and the gas tank as well.
Here is the "Sport" version of my design. It will utilize VW front beam and wide 5 bug wheels. I will lbuild this one first and learn the mistakes to avoid with the coupe.
This is a concept that I have had for about 10 years. I have designed every part of it. I am now modelling it in 3d and will be making a 1:4 clay model of it soon. I call it "Solitude". The circles on the sides are stylized low fresh air vents. The car will be made from aluminium with steel doors, Hood, and Trunk. I am counting the days until I get to drive a car that I designed and built from scratch.
The long process of developing my logo. Notice the subtle arc that was produced by literally slicing the paper multiple times then retracing it. Nothing is as appealing to me as a pencil drawn logo produced from scratch then cleaned up in a graphic program. There are no fonts exactly like these letters and it's uniqueness is obvious.
The aim was to design a series of easily produced Grand Prix toy cars from the early days of racing. Often times these cars were remarkable for their daring design and execution.
