I suck at photoshop, but here is one of the images above with the lip softened a little, "Corvette" removed, and the splitter cut out. Just trying to maintain interest...ttt.

 

The both look like DOG SQUEEZE to me.....

 

Seems like there's more people who prefer poly over fiberglass... Added one more to the list...

 

imho this looks better

The one on the right is awsome

Here's the first pictures I had a friend's friend, Francis, (a local artist) friend draw for me:





The third picture was done very quickly and will benefit from another drawing. I just had a little while to meet and we'll get another picture of the front view soon. I wanted to post these to show progress.

Time to put it into production.

 

I'd love to but don't have the numbers (people) yet...

 

Yes, I agree.

 

how many people do you need? im sure it will sell, its awesome.

 

Here's the current list:
I need 10 who are in for fiberglass or 20-25 for polyurethane. There's a couple people who are "In" but only want poly...

IN:
drochau (poly only)
ProtoVette
garywurst
w8d4it
AMERICAN HP (Maybe one for his friend too)
mike76002
DarkShark78 (CAC)
Threed

On the fence:

Stellar112
FatBillyBob
javdaddy04
XcessiveVette and friend
MUKAKsC5

On the sidelines or want to see the final product first:
flynbya2 (only ok with poly)
zukupow
fiberglassfan
99blackfrc
97C5inSD
jetvette01

 

Paras, so, rather than just keep posting doodles out of drafting shop class, maybe it's time to take a lesson from Business Adminstration 101, and put this baby into production, ten buyers or not.

You know, "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

The bottom line, I think this is a nice little "what if" exercise in doodles; if you really were producing something, I would be the first in line.

So, how about it?

A gazillion posts and views later -- time to hit the blow molds.

 

Exactly.
If you dont want to venture on the project, get someone who is willing to put up the capital. You (or someone) will need to put the money up front at some time for tooling and production start-up. Most people will not put up several hundred of dollars on an idea, but I will buy an actual production facia. I'm sure you can get someone or some company to fund the start-up.
Produce it, and they will come.
If I had the capital and design and production resources, I would have already started production of the front facia, and then started additional body components to compliment the facia.
Just my thoughts.

I hear you guys. I'm doing these activities --draft drawings and etc. to get a final version and I posted these last versions just to let everyone know that the project is alive. I still need at least everyone who's interested to comment on the middle air scoop on the middle top and I want to put forward one last idea that I have... I got an idea after seeing the Pagani Zonda (no, I'm not copying it) but it helped with what I'm thinking. I woke up in the middle of the night trying to figure out how this project might be done in Fiberglass but still protect it from cracking if it bottoms out... I'm going to ask the bodykit manufacturer if we can do a fiberglass kit with the very bottom a separate piece to be made from poly or carbon fiber so that its more bump resistant and to put the bottom piece together with the main fascia together with the body with some sort of rubber washers to allow some give if there is impact from the bottom... (Please be patient with me!)

I haven't been able to make quicker moves forward because I'm in the middle of applying to business schools and don't have a lot of extra time... I should finish applications at the end of this month or in the middle of April.

The reason that I really want to get enough people on board as because I don't want to outlay capital and not recover it and I don't want to get investors cause then I gotta put this together at someone else's pace and worry about other people making money. I'm mainly doing this for fun and creativity and to get a really bad a$$ lookin' (and as functional as possible with extremely limited R&D) front end for the people who buy it.

As you can see from my signature, I'm not afraid to do mods if they're well worth it but I take time and do research... (how many other vette owners run coilovers?)

Ok, this is getting way too philosophical so here are some quotes from "The Art of War" to take this beyond the point of no return...
"Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose." I'm an analyst by trade. I don't mind making many calculations before I make a decision.
"In respect of military method, we have, firstly, Measurement; secondly, Estimation of quantity; thirdly, Calculation; fourthly, Balancing of chances; fifthly, Victory. Measurement owes its existence to Earth; Estimation of quantity to Measurement; Calculation to Estimation of quantity; Balancing of chances to Calculation; and Victory to Balancing of chances. "
