i know mark, unexciting design (ford Puma rear end amalgimated with Peugeot 206) but in MS Paint?

mind you, more impressed if there wasnt an expensive graphix tablet backing it up

If he's got a tablet, what he's doing is no big deal. It's not bad, mind you, but it's what any decent first year Industrial Design student can produce. It's a blah design, not very well proportioned, etc. To you guys, and most of the internet world, it's good. To a design professional, not so much.

Heh... He stretched a 10 minute job in Photoshop out to like 4 hours worth of work.

Or he could of just imported a picture OF the car and then "prettied it" in the software.

Sketching a car in any software can be short (rough sketch) or take many hours (Realistic Rendering). Paint's tools may be crude but they're more then adequate to do a decent sketch if you use a tablet. Prettying up a car is not exactly design.

did you really design that? because there's no way it would be driveable... :unsure:

Says you.

The dampers are hidden in the chassis and activated by a link. There are no springs. The control arms would be engineered to provide the correct spring rate. The steering is done through a pair of links to a rotating mechanism at the wheel hub. I'm assuming those are your complaints? As for seeing over the air scoop. Who cares... :laugh:

actually, my complaint is about the driveablility of the thing...in order for the steering to be stable at both low and high speeds, the trail has to be within certain parameters, and the bike also has to be able to lean. where is/are the flex-points for the front wheel? what's the trail dimension? the front forks you have on it look to be solidly attached to the frame - do they swivel? if not, you won't be able to turn - if so, the pivot point looks to be such that the bike would never be stable enough to operate.

seriously, i'd love to discuss this a bit with you, as i've been putting plans together to build my own ground-up chopper... so, what say you!? HMMMM!?!?! :laugh:

Where exactly do your knees go? and if I don't have a 5ft long neck.. how do I see the road?

your knees go right under the ends of the handlebars!! =P

and yeah, the exhaust issue, related to cosmetics (carbon buildup) is in a really bad place, and depending on the body panels, might pose a fire hazard, or at very least panel warping/discoloration... :unsure:
