Overlay has become my standard technique now. A white '88 Falcon Ute & the red (tinted) "Wild Breed" model. It shows where the door gaps will go and pillar locations. |

The whole idea of this concept was discovering that the Australians are making small sedan bodied pickups called a "Ute" (for utility). They've been making these things since the '30s. Now, I proposed making a Falcon Ute of some sort and the comment was "Where's the beef ?" So, I figure maybe a Mustang Cobra will serve up some steak ! I'm always asked "What color is going to be?" I seem to never get that far, but I'm thinking icey blue. |
