    Too soon to make judgement on it yet, I think we need to see more body work.

    I hope its just the angle, it makes it look bad. BUt as Jimmy said, it might be too soon to pass any kinda judgement sinec its a work in progress. But honestly, i dont like hacking and cutting, but i guess ill have to wait and see how it turns out.

    PS: As far as the comment on the current pics, its not my style,

    Re: 87' Aerodek being modified

    Are you going to overlay fiberglass?

    How come left side and right side of bumper is different?

    I like it good work

    ...the grill covering the hood latch does not look that good.
    I think it would be better with noting there.

    as there seems to be mixed feeling about the car (More negative than other)
    i would like to hear why and what one would do differently.

    Re: 87' Aerodek being modified

    I dunno, the bumper looks super tall, and the fact that there is no more bumper then just a big piece of mesh annoys me.

    It;s not my style, but I am all for a clean show car. I dunno... I'd say I'll wait and see what it looks like with more progress, but right now I'm not feeling the front bumper at all.

    Re: 87' Aerodek being modified

    Add some lines in there, so you break up the large flat surfaces.

    Most horizontal lines will make the car look wider.

    I made the horizontal line of the top of the bumper thicker.

    Don't be afraid to intersect the fog light circles with lines.

    fair enough, I really do not fancy much to some radical type body kits for starters. They did not stick well to my eye probably because of so many ugly ones made for corvettes back in the day. I think the mixed views your getting may be because the piece certainly has potential, but as it is in these pictures it has a death race 2000 essence about it, maybe the huge mouth opening and generic mesh material. At first it reminded me of the remnants of a projection TV set I had in my carport that was taken apart for disposal.
    A1's suggestions look good, if you could change the mesh to honeycomb or something and black it out., use flashing materials to fill in then finish off with glass or compatable filling materials. Also that thing it going to be pushing some air so you may need to add some braces behind it to minimize flexing of the unit and cracking up your bonding materials.

    man A20A1, you are really good at that! Are you working professionally with PS or do you just toy around with the program?


    Definately improved the design a lot.
