2b2 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like everything except the C-pillar, Reigner how about trying something based on this as your sport-four-door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigner92 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 What specific changes are you suggesting that i make 2b2/rangerM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerM Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 What specific changes are you suggesting that i make 2b2/rangerM ? Perhaps slightly smoother slope to the rear glass. Don't know if available space would turn it into an EXP/LN7 clone, but would look sportier. I do like your front end treatment; better than the 3-bar, imo.

2b2 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 What specific changes are you suggesting that i make 2b2/rangerM ? well, the things I prefer in the photo I posted are - smoother fastback profile (the glass wouldn't have to nec. follow the sheetmetal, could be inset a bit to allow a trunklid) - the C-pillar shape (have the back of the reardoor go thru the C-pillar metal to the top up-sweep of the reardoor's window) - think your B-pillar is a bit too far back for the rear door AND would move the door seam forward just a little too &/but ...maybe reduce the rear overhang slightly (that part of the earlier cars won't work in a modern look imho) btw Volvo's SCC conceptcar had hidden B-pillars inside the passenger compartment so just a thin window frame showed on the outside for that pillarless look I don't have the link handy but Swedespeed.com has it in their gallery section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syrtran Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Or possibly an early 70's Falcon? ... which isn't all that different from the '70 Torino he based his chop on: Hey, how about bringing back the laser stripe? :D Edited June 9, 2009 by syrtran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigner92 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Don't worry about it RangerM hows this? a little changed...not much....what other things should i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Don't worry about it RangerM hows this? a little changed...not much....what other things should i do? I like that better than your original chop. I'm a bit confused about the door-to-window relation, though.....it appears that the window is behind the door cut line/opening.

RangerM Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Don't worry about it RangerM hows this? a little changed...not much....what other things should i do? Honestly, I'm not sure what you changed. It looks like the greenhouse may be little larger, providing for the back seat a bit more, and a little less taper on the trunk. It looks decent, but is it me or does anyone else feel the rear quarter window seems a little oversized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 does that resolve your confusion? Yes, about that. Now I'm confused as to whether or not it has a mini rear door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
