kach22i -- that makes pixel pushing look trivial.

I wanted to be the first to do an overlay with the new template. When I opened it up I discovered this:

The inversed box shows the 'real world' is out of square with the scanned image. So I took the liberty of rotating it the maybe 3° it needed. You can scroll it to the window edge to see how it is now.

Then I proceeded to section an Xray view similar to the black primered bus I posted above.

It's got the curved door windows I wanted to see, and a driver's seat centered between the fender wells.

There exist aftermarket parts to stuff 14" wide tires inside the stock body so narrowing the rear track by 12" is achievable. The wheelbase could be stretched as well. And the nose blunted if it's 'too round'.
