Thanks Everyone I'm glad you like the design and are loving the car. I've been doing a few Z oil paintings and artwork that I want to start reproducing for people to buy . I m hoping to be showing some next month. Keep on the lookout....

As a freshman at CCS I interned for a year and half at ASC, then a little over a Year at General Motors while a sophmore/ junior (Cadillac, Chevy truck, Hummer), and then a Summer intership with Toyota in Tokyo, Japan before my senior year. I didnt get much of break right after graduation and was working at a desk at Nissan 2 weeks after. All great experiences and hard work and determination pays off....

how long did it take to come to a final design and when did you start with the 370?

I started to sketch on it in 05 and worked on it for less than a year.

^stalker!:icon17:...good job by the way..lub the design!

Beautiful job on the Z Randy.

When I first saw pics of the 370 a while ago I thought it looked good. Like a solid 7.5/10.

In person though it was like 9/10. All the lines work very well. I still haven't seen an angle where the design has a weak point. I consider the 370 to be on the same level as the 1st gen G coupe looks wise.

Were you also involved with the design of the sport package wheels? I think they're in a tie for best looking OEM wheels I've ever seen. Sport package wheels off the 06-07 M45 being the other.

Should look pretty good when I get those rims back.

I really, really want to lower it, space the wheels out and throw on an exhaust set up on it.

Of course I will eventually buy one. That would make it the first new car I ever bought.
How much you want for the wheels?

Here is an article written by Erin Riches of Edmunds about the wheels. Inspiration was from MV and Ducati Triples.
