Okay, I just can't get enough of making frames and videos of the car I designed back in 92 showing it driving thru the desert to the Knight Rider theme. I'm working on windows movie maker figuring out everything I can do with it.
A bit more history on The Lance. I designed it back in 92. The Lance grew out of wanting to put a V8 in a Datsun pick up truck. But I couldn't decide if i wanted the V8 in the front or the back. I wanted the truck to be a sleeper truck so I decided that if I were to build it, I would put the motor in the back and hide it with a teannue cover. As time went by I figured I want something fast, light and aero dynamic, so I designed a wedge shaped vehicle that eventually became my comic character's (pipe dream) crime fighting super car.
In the procession of the cars where they change, in this video and the Knight Warrior video, the first one is pretty much what I first had in mind. The second one was a later drawing back around 2000 when i saved the first one off my old talk city page and adjusted the look of the front end.
It stayed like that until 2004 when I carved the model out of a block of wood, hence the yellow one. A while back I pondered the idea of taking the car back to more of an original design with the more angular front end instead of the rounded front end which is the 4th one in the procession, which will most likely be what the prototype will look like when I do build the car. The second to last one in this one is a newly revamped version and the last one is a possible future concept version, but also very reminicent of a car I use to draw alot when I was very much younger.
One thing that will remain the same is the 620 series Datsun pick up bed, or shape, depending on if the complete car is built out of metal or fiberglassed. I also wanted gull wing doors like the Delorean, but I have also considered reversed scissor doors as well.
Doh! Lol....very interesting idea.
