i am designing a car...body only for now...an entire car by myself

it started as a spoiler...then i added a trunk which im still doing...then i thought, why not the rest of the car so yeah...help me with some info to make it look good


2 or 4 doors?

width?

length?

its supposed to have a custom sport look, reason for an aftermarket spoiler that i designed too.

ill have pics of my progress along the way starting monday.

Make a 2dr hatchback with sliding doors. No really, I'm serious. sliding doors are the business.

Is this being drawn at 1:1 scale on your computer? Where's the pics of the spoiler? Make the car what you want it to be. Big difference between 2 and 4 doors, why spend a bunch of time on something that's not from your idea anyway.

I'm going to be doing some design work this summer too. I hope to design a tube framed rock crawler or HPV tricycle to help pad my CAD portfolio, but this will be done on ProEngineer.

yeah 1:1 scale on the computer but im making it out of plastic on some smaller scale. I do not have the pic because my CAD program is on the schools computer...i go to a vocational school for CAD. I just wanted some ideas but i drew a proto up of it last night
