IT BEARS SOME TWEEKING SO I HAVE PUT MY TWEEKNOTES JUST BELOW.

2.  The actual car is more snouty than I have depicted it.  I will give it some length there sor of an anti-nose job

3.  There is some technical business underneath that I have to research to be able to depict it correctly.  I know it is only a cartoon, and I am shooting for close instead of an absolute engineering drawing  HOWEVER, it drives me crazy to see something that looks like it was drawn by an 8 year old who has just embraced the fact that wheels are round.  Technically, nothing in a cartoon would work or even look good in real life...for example 22 in wheels or any wheel larger than 17inches.

One other thing.  I can either dump the header behind the wheel as in the cartoons from Car Toon's magazine in the 70's or I can draw the exhaust stubbing out behind the rear wheel.  I lean toward the rear wheel location as I didn't see fenderwell headers on your car. (Technically, I didn't look to see them but what the hay.

4.  Here is a perfect example, the rear tires have to be cheated to a better (more cartoony) proportion.

5.  The trim details are impressionistic details.  On any of my finished pieces, if one enlarged the trim and insignia the size of a dinner plate they don't make any sense, but the impression is there and will be accurate to your eye.  I can do photographic detail but I have to charge thousand and thousand of dollars and from across the room who can tell on a galloping horse.

6.  Yes, I know I go on a bit.  If I was more faster I probably could make some money at this,  or at least that's what my wife said.

These are just sketches and the finished product will be detailed and most wonderful.   

Let me know which you want to see worked to a final product.  

Tire smoke for the up and running sketch is optional as woofing the hoops is bad.  However, the smoke is an old school drawing convention.  In the beginning (back in the 60's) most of Ed Roth's (all rise) cartoons had copious tire smoke. 

The first sketch is down below these.  so I guess you really have three options with the first sketch.

DRIVER SIDE

UP AND RUNNING

This is a color sketch.  I emphasize "sketch".   I start with all my work with a sketch.  

Until recently I would make a pencil sketch, but I have started using color pencil as it makes for a better end product.   I am doing all the final sketches in color pencil on Bristol board.  The finals are more finely rendered and the colors are more consistent than with the color marker on layout bond.  Additionally, the final product is much easier to handle and the looks are spectacular if I do say so myself.
