veritech-z Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hey, Kingrob, that looks great! Did you do that whole thing in photoshop, or just the flares and bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrob615 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i added the flares and bumper on photoshop as well as the wing wheels and the quarter window cover, the car itself i took from smithsautomotiveartwork.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 I call this one Formula Z...This is very close to what I want to do for my Z. Notice the headight covers aren't standard ones but are "pushed in" a little bit I'll have some more good ones coming up soon. Once I get exactly what I want to do then I'll start doing some color. The car willmostlikely be gloss black with some Xbox green accents used VERY sparingly. Maybe a thin pinstripe and then a little on the interior. The motor will be rediculous though.

OlderThanMe Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Here is a quickie of a Z with a GT40 nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I made a few changes to my Formula Z sketch. Now the Formula Z mkII open front fenders, top of fenders are now part of the hood, and a few other small things. This is REALLY close to the direction I am going to go with the body of my Z. I may just scrap the whole front frame above the main square tube and do a tubular setup. That will be in the future though. Maybe summer of 08 after my big motor build and the car gets drivable.

mario_82_ZXT Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I really like the rear! What does "Consecutive Turbocharger System" mean? Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 check the bottom of this page(14) of my worklog and the last page http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=110183&page=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 OTM, I like that one over all, but I could do without the hood. I'm working on a new one, I've been hanging out on www.mulsannescorner.com looking at prototype racers all day at work now that they've blocked out Hybridz (but for some reason I can still go to classiczcars.com-go figure), so I'm going to incorporate some of that stuff they've got going on in my next drawing...

OlderThanMe Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I was looking at my Z sitting in the garage and I think the hood vents are too wide and not long enough. They will probably change on Formula Z mkIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I'm basing mine on a fuel injected V-8, so I may do away with the power bulge all together on my next one. I'm going to incorporate the air intake into the air dam, it's been slow going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Of course if I go SR20 then the hood will be completely different. One bigger scoop in the middle with no bulge...sort of like the coffey hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I watched the ALMS on Speed today and that gave me a ton of oddball ideas, I'll be drawing all night at this rate! Unfortunately, my camera went MIA and the closest scanner I have access to is a 30min drive so I'll post them as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've got a nice side-view going here, but I can't get it to look right from the front....this one's got an extended "long tail" with a big box airfoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 No body kits in this one, but this IS an S30 drawing I was working on...it was intended as part of my portfolio for my interactive entertainment masters degree: The scan isn't very good, but they never are...

OlderThanMe Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I now scan all of my sketches. I have a Lexmark 2400 all-in-one printer/scanner and it was like $50. The printer isn't the best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've got a nice HP scanner, but that scan was done with the page still in the sketch pad, so the light seal wasn't the best. That's why it's lighter in the bottom right than in the top. They always look a bit warped to me though when compared to the original image...anyway, here is my newest one. I left the front wheel off so you could see what was happening with the fender a little better: I took off the big airfoil, and made it a big lip spoiler. That duct at the rear wheel spits the air out of a small scoop just above the rear wheel. The scoop up front is the engine intake, and the two small ones on the splitter feed the radiator. There would probably be a ton of drag with a kit like this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Drag, What's that?? interesting color scheme btw, very 70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 HS30-H has pictures of a car with a similar paint scheme in his photo album on classiczcars, I thought it was pretty cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
