Re: New Member 69
I don't know the first thing about computer modeling but that is impressive as hell
I can imagine that the hood and fenders, especially the top of the fenders, will be challenging
NICE WORK !

A few more to show some progress. Things are coming together. The more organic shapes like the top and grill were tricky and took a while to hash out. by , on Flickr

Still need to finish the sides of the top, some interior and small details like hinges, lights, trim rings, etc.

Is the front narrowed? It doesn't look as squared to the windshield.

Re: New Member 69
I'll hazard a guess that the cropped front and rear portions will be filled by your bumpers?

The fold down idea is on my list, inspired by this build on overland expo. I'd like it to also carry a dirt bike.

Expedition Portal, not Overland Expo (too many expo forums!) http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showt ... p?t=129110One of many threads I'm subscribed to that are inspiring.

After installing the 23 gallon "Sherman Tank", I didn't feel like following the instructions to weld the tank to the mounting brackets, so I made these safety retainer brackets instead. by , on Flickr
