Sketches

I keep a pad of paper and pencil handy while I'm in the smallest room.
Sorry, not trying to be gross. I just thought some might be entertained to see some ideas that roll around in this melon o' mine.
Obviously, I like small, FE cars.
My wife thinks an automobile is to haul around as many people as possible at a time. (If they were all chipping in for the gas, that'd be great!)
Well, here's my idea to address both ends of the spectrum.


One of my goals in life is to build a 'tadpole', a three wheel vehicle where the single wheel is in back, and there's two up front. Many of my doodles are of such conveyances.

I can see that.


But I don't see what SVOboy does.

maybe the lower curve of the back window is similar.

Here's another;

I was talking to a coworker about his horrendous fuel mileage he gets in his CJ7. So that evening I doodled what I would do if I drove a Jeep CJ.
Canvas boat tail!
