It's cool, it's Deeep and I like this style better than #015. Out with old, in with the new!



old style



Edit: Besides the obvious items mentioned (body flarring[hips], rocker Z-glass, door flares, and rear bumper), did anybody notice what Archie and the Crew did differently???

Hehehe in case u haven't noticed Madcurl gets bored easily.

He is talking about #15 being old and most of us are still drooling over number 11 !!

How do you think the view out the rear window is gonna be? Any new blind spots or anything?
Archie OCT 30, 09:50 PM
We didn't 100% like the way the scoops were shaped in these pictures. The inside wall followed the curve of our Integrated rocker panels and we felt it curved back too too much. We also wanted inside the wall to go farther back into the scoop. So we redid that inside wall.

Here are the previous pics.





This is what it looks like now.........





I think this looks a lot better.

Hmm. I don't really know cause I was too excited at the time to check but, Archie took some pics and it seems maybe >less than the original choptop sail pillars due to the frame rail that supports the Z-glass?




As for the sail panel windows, the height has been reduced a little but from my drawings it reaches back a bit but not as elongated. The actual side sail window cuts haven't been performed yet. The cut you see was just a reference point.

Actually that rib going from left to right is in the same place as the rib on the underside of the stock GT decklid that sits on the trunk seal.

It is setting on the trunk seal. The only reason you see it here is because the rest of the original GT decklid is no longer in the line of sight.
