Vman7, any luck with the drawings?
Looking forward to it.
Have you read this thread? Do you know what the Vantage design was started from?
2011 Subaru Forester - the DD - uber rare 5spd manual
1990 Miata - Track Rat, autocrossing cheap POS - love it
2018 Factory 5 Racing 818 Hardtop Coupe - preapproved by the wife
I haven't worked on the Vantage since Jan. Not sure if I am going to or not, a lot depends on the progress FFR is making on there design. I know I said the Vantage could be a design down the line later for the for "Classic" style. Have to wait and see I guess.

I gave this design a lot of grief before, but I think i like it the best now. Most refined design. It looks like a manufactured car, not a kit in the slightest.
I agree.
FFR Daytona Type 65 Coupe
67 427 Cobra
57' Belair
72 Pinto Wagon ,306" 1/4 miler
34 5 window coupe Ford
2003 Mustang GT
99' ZX9
85 Goldwing
All toys still in the Scuderia!
Every Saint has a past..................every sinner a future
Don't take yourself so seriously........no one else does.
You never see a motorcycle parked outside a Psychiatrists office.
I can only wish this gets built one day
This is my favorite design by far.
Great work.
V-man, you REALLY have some skill here.
If you're looking for another project to make your mark with, a front end re-body of the GTM might be just the ticket. Both Gen I and II of the car look very awkward (aside from the recycled GT40 lights that just don't work with the lines). There is a decent base of kits being built out there to sell to, and the modest scope of the project could enable you to get something off the ground $$$ wise.
There is a very experienced composites guy in the Pittsburgh area who has done plenty of kit car work, from prototype to production. If you don't already know him, I can dig contact info up for if you'd like to talk to him. I've seen his work and think he could just be the perfect compliment to bring your visions to life.
V-man I use Blender all the time, the learning curve is very steep, there is a good pdf here to start with http://www.cdschools.info/blenderbasics/ and then look at blenderguru. Just follow his tutorials and you will be building cars and stuff in no time.
good luck
Thanks
I really haven't thought about going with another company, I would rather work with FFR. Now maybe in the future for a body done with an outside vendor to be used on the 818 might be an option, but I doubt that would really be cost effective.
I'll keep your offer in mind on the contact info.
As far as the GTM goes, I did a drawing of a idea for a complete body change, it was designed for something else but could be modified to work on the GTM. Not sure where the thread is in the GTM section, might have to do a search.
Thanks, I have looked into blender, just really haven't got around to it, not sure when I will.
