Maserati Bora 2013 concept

Maserati Bora 2013 concept
 
 
So...this is a Maserati Bora...A two-seater coupe powered by a mid mounted V8 Produced from 1971 to 1978,  Some of the distinctive details were the brushed stainless steel roof and windscreen pillars. Designed Ital Designs  Giorgetto Giugiaro, who was responsible for the Maserati boomerang  concept.
 
 
 
 
...And this is my modern-day concept, based on the Fez 458.
 
I tried to include some standout styling features, such as the grill and stainless roof, obviously, while relating a close relationship with the 458 dimensions. I thought a targa top would be a good measure also.

180SX: Strawberry conversion.

 
This was a fairly big project....and i love it!
 
 
I try to create what i would build/drive...and i'll have this in a heartbeat. Started out as a clean 180 type X...now is a Rb26 wide-body strawberry! I have this as my desktop, alternating between the bonnet up and down lol


Oh, just in case people think it as simple as copying a open bonnet shot into the pic, the bonnet engine bay are from one pic, the little plastic thing between the rad-support and bar/lights is from another, as is the rocker cover. Same with the interior, one car provided the cage etc, while another the seats and another the wheel. The body kit is a mix of brush and paste....

2014 falcon, Pt:2

More work on ideas for the 2014 Ford Falcon.
 
Rear end.
 
First up, is a rear view, using bits from the Ford Fusion. In line with the assumption that the doors and roof will be largly unchanged, there is only a change to the rear 1/4 panels, and  rear screen. This was done to help blend the rear in, as it needs a shorted boot too work well.
 
 
 

Front 3/4 shot, in G6 and XR versions

 
My fist attempt, was nothing more then just adding the fusion front to the FG, but this time, I brushed a front on, takeing cues from the Fusion, Madmax concepts and Territory. I added a reverse curve to the flareing on the gaurd. Again, the doors and roof were not touched.
 
 
XR8
 
I just had to do a XR version of this!
 
This time, I took ideas from the RS focus, adding the plastic inserts under the lights, opposed to the traditional "twin light" front of the past XRs. The Grill surround was heavily influenced by the one of the Mad Max concepts.
 
Broom, broom.

2014 falcon

Just a quickie, based off the teaser image from the AIMS...needs a bit of tidying up...but i've had a big weekend.
 
 
Introducing, the 2014 falcon!

TE cortina

This was for a Chop-off...


Went for a euro-style look with the roof-racks and rusted out bonnet. Colour is a bit poo...but i grew a bit tired of this one.



Gave it another attempt, more or a track based one...so hard to find a Cortina with the bonnet open!

XA Gasser

This was a "job" for me, someone wanted to see how the classic XA coupe would come up as a Gasser spec drag car.

Sorta based on some old WW2 fighter imagery, and traditional Gasser style...

Ferrari Concept

Not as good as pininfarina, but my first attempt at dreaming up a design for a famous marque...

I've sketched out basic shapes similar to this for a while, but only felt like attempting to do a photochop visualisation recently.

Aston Martin Vantage

Just a quick one...

These Astons have a muscular shape, and could do with a pro-street style make over...


Not sure if the Aston fans would enjoy it, most likely they would drop their pipe on their tweed jacket as the jaw gasp's in shock...

Looking Back, Pt3

This is the first ever photoshop i done!



What was i thinking....

I can't beleive i added different wheels

The original image was from the Encarta '97 encyclopidia...ekkk

V35 skyline

Got a bit carried away with this one. It just snowballed, all i wanted to do was add wheels and brush a kit on. So i put some wheels on it and changed the colour, but the chop was ordinary. Then i just had a go at things i've never attempted before, like a engine bay and major background change...

There was about 6 source pics used





Oh...i know thats an RB25 in there...actually found a V35 with one in it.



Mercury Colony Park

This was just a quick idea...Take a big, square, bulky and otherwise oceanliner like wagon and turn it into a ashpalt pounding pro-tourer!

Simple!

Kustom Caddy

This was just an experiment on a opening door look, but it looks amazing anyway...

Inspired by CadZilla, without trying to really copy it. The interior was all brushed, so it was quite a challange.

Vette Time!

Such a classic shape, the 67 corvette...

But, I still see it as a blank canvass!


I've always had this idea to do a old C2 corvette, but exaggerate it a bit. Sorta inspired by the Corvette Manta Ray concept, the Ring Brothers and US Pro-touring in general

What we have here is a vette that has been widened through the guards, which have also been extended in height to make the body more curvy. The roof has had a gentle chop, and the door head's have been deleated so the glass closes into the roof.

To finish it off is some shaving, custom sills and some C6 zo6 wheels.

Oh yeah, the red looks too good to change lol

MK2 Continental

One of the most desireable Ford products released an possibly one of the most beautiful cars made in America, and certainly one of the most expensive (at the time, more then a rolls)

Would take guts to take one of the 1500 odd remaining and cut it up! (Rick Dore did, twice...)


Just a simple one again. Being a smooth kustom its not about being over the top and obviously modified, just a subtle roof chop, smoother grill and a few other touches to improve and complement what already is a nice looking car.

Mercury Leadsled.

My first attempt at a Sled, and i really like it! Alot of work went into this, whats obvious is the chopped roof and tooth grille. What is less obvious is the work done correcting gaps, aligning panels and trim and getting the bodylines crisp. Other little touches like radiused door and bonnet edges, and the neat little bit of tuck and roll wheel arch liner!


HR holden Kustom

Kicking off some ol'skool kustom flavor. Staring off with a HR Holden, dropped and chopped!

The roof has been split into 3, to eliminate having to lean back the pillers...the door frames where then eliminated and converted to a two door.

And thats it!

2017 Falcon concepts





Based on the idea of using the modeo as a base, using the door shut lines, window opening etc. In theory, it would mean development of the falcon cheaper. A RWD floorplan using some mustang stuff.
