[SIZE=3]Sad to say but we really don’t have much design option with this project.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]My opinions;[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The following are out of design considerations:[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]1. Monocoque body structure.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]2. Curved windshield – I’m not sure if someone could fabricate.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]3. Van type.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The following may the only design options that we could consider[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]to incorporate to the proposed project (existing or possible to fabricate)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]2nd hand Chassis[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Boxy type body[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Front grills[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Bumper[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Engine, Lightings, etc. (existing - commercially available)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]With this limited options, for sure only one thing will come up, it’s either;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]1. A jeep and its kind ie, land rover defender, G-wagen, Samurai etc.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]style/concept with a different face. (Maybe we could not even match[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]old[/SIZE][SIZE=3] vitara body shape profiles.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]2. Revo, adventure, crosswind type but boxy shaped = Tamaraw fx.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If we come up with the above pattern then it’s not really that motivating[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]and it will only be labeled the same as backyard auv assembly.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The trick is how can we design a prototype that at least 80% original?,[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]never [/SIZE][SIZE=3]been seen before not copied and not existing concepts yet that[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]would be [/SIZE][SIZE=3]appealing to pinoy/asian taste or maybe internationally.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]This is really a challenge [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the tsikot designers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Ot. By the way years ago there’s a company that sell wrangler body w/[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]chassis the body was claimed to be a machine pressed so it looks like[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]original, very sturdy too. I don’t know if this company still exist.[/SIZE]
