  1. Love the color palate!
    Alot to like here, but the Thunderbird really stands out!
    Taurus based, but it works effortlessly as a 2 door. In alot of ways I like it better than the 4 door. Excellent, production ready design! A+

  2. wow wow wow!!!! I don't know which one I like the most, they're all pretty amazing. The one that I would probably drive away with would be the Thunderbird inspired from the Taurus.

    Back in 1988, I drew my first car, which was a Jag 2 door, but it looks nothing as nice at your convertible version. Very classy!

  3. Hi CAsey,

    Just saw you chops on Autoextremist -- it's always fun to see your work on Peter's site.

    I love the Scion convertible -- suddenly that design makes sense. Did you ever chop the original XB? I like thte old one so much better than the current one -- I know that some West Coast firms made convertibles out of the old XB but they had four-doors and roll bars and just weren't as polished as yours (duh -- whose are?). Love the Jaguar coupe as well. I didn't really care for the generation when they came out -- they looked older than the X308 that imemdiately preceded it -- I love those -- especially the LWB version. But the new one grew on me and this coupe really shows it off perfectly. I wish Jaguar had done it!

  6. I like the Demon. It's what the Crossfire could have been. Aggressive - something you don't want to see in your rear-view mirror.

  7. I like what you did with the Aveo. It reminds me a lot of the first gen Mazda 2 with that squarish rear window.

    Good job on the other chops too.

  8. I love the XJ Coupe, I own a 75 XJ6C so seeing an update based on the recent XJ sedan was very nice.
    I also enjoyed the G8 wagon concept. Being a Pontiac and wagon fan, I think it is an idea that should have been made.

  9. thanks, Keith! if you check the Label "Car Shows" you'll find a photo of a great XJ12 coupe I shot this summer along with other Jags at a British car show in my town.

  10. I would love to create a body kit replica based on that Tbird that you rendered and put it on the MN12old Tbird. If I only knew how!
