That's the point

the sketches are about the bodywork, not the chassis.

Its a good idea to work on the design over the chassis drawing. It looks like you are making some good progress, I like the fast back idea better that the coupe.

Thanks!

Yes, I like the fast back too. Both aestheitcally and practically too - access to the fuel tank and rear shocks will be better. Easier tomake aswell!

I thought the rear arches were a bit low - I tried to match the fronts, but it didn't seem to follow the lines of the car, so I did this...
