OK, everyone. remember that blue box I was talking about? That is the Scion xB's proportions. Here is an xB over the streamliner.
See the thick black curve? That's the roofline of my streamliner.
I'll be lowering the 'liner's body to add a couple inches of foot room, but it should not be so low as to have
too much aero interaction with the ground.
Each grid is a 100mm square. The xB is 3900mm long. The 'liner is ~5100mm. That's about half a finger's length longer than a Lexus LS, also pictured.
Note how the streamliner's roof is taller and longer than the LS's.
NOW! I move the two Toyotas forward so their cowls (the front of the doors) are about where the 'liner's will be. Look at how much interior space I have. Yes, a 3 cylinder engine will have to be jammed in there. I'll make the body version II a bit taller in front.
PS- To whoever may like to know: you can overlay blueprints like this by setting the Photoshop layer to "multiply" instead of "normal" in the Layer tab's dropdown menu. This will make all whites and greys transparent.
