66 mustang fastback glass-roof

[customsfactory]

Hi everyone,
I recently got motivated to finish a project that has been almost ten years in the making. All the puzzle peices are finally starting to fall into place and the project is now more feasable. I have contacted Nelson Michael to make me some preliminary sketches of a new mustang body based on the iconic 66 fastback. Your critique and constructive criticism is welcome, but it will not be for everyone. It is always tough to keep the classic lines while updating the feel. It needs to be a 66 fastback with some updated touches. that being said, the side and 3/4 views will come when I have paired the front and rear that I like. These designs are simply concepts and can be mixed, matched, or scrapped completely. On a side note it has been a pleasure working with Nelson and I hope anyone with a desire to get sketches and work done will consider him. Take a look and let me know.
Louie

Very cool ideas! Can't wait to see the rest of the sketches.

Louie's been real busy with work and such, and he wants to start modeling out the designs. He gave me permission to keep ya guys updated, so here goes..

After I did the four sketches of rear views, we went ahead and honed out a design, we altered rear view 3 by widening the diffuser to the edge of the tail lamps, and also shortened the height of it to give the impression of a bigger bumper...

We also honed out a front design too...altering front view2. Using the same design elements as the rear view, we widened the lower grille opening to the edge of the upper grille, and shortening the height to achieve a bigger looking bumper.

Like I said, he wants to start modeling out these designs, I'm sure some things will change, hopefully we do some side elements too!
