Hello all,
I wanted to share my pine wood derby car design project. I am entering a design contest that is part of a SolidWorks 2013 launch event. The design must be a legitimate pine wood derby car. The entry deadline is near the end of September, so I will hopefully be updating the post as the design progresses.
I am sharing this with you all because my design is based off the Z! I love my 370's styling. I am also fond of the 240's looks as well, so I be using both cars as an influence to my design. I didn't want to just copy the existing Z's so I decided to make a 390z concept!?
Ill post some pictures throughout the design process to get some feedback. The final contest submission must be a "photo" realistic rendering. I wanted to get your opinion at the end of which rendering you like the most, and which one I should submit. The more people who like a particular photo only means the more judges that will like it.
