Asthetics

I've come to the final stages of design now and am working towards getting a 3d print of the finished exterior. In doing this I can have a realistic view to see if it's still aesthetically pleasing. Now that I'm finished with the exterior, I need to remodel some of the chassis so that it fits within the extended body. I have also gotten a hold of some chassis blueprints for an Acura RSX so that I can put the sub frame mounting points on my chassis model. That way when I build the chassis It will already accept the engine and transmission that I want to use for it. I have also placed a book on order called the Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics. Hopefully this gives me all the information I need to incorporate a good suspension into my design. Once I have the suspension geometry figured out, I can start constructing the chassis.

Getting Ready for a 3d Print

So I am getting my car ready for a 3d print. I have pretty much finalized my design as you can see in current renders
