I personally like the last one best. But I can't seem to escape the general look. Any other design ideas would be appreciated.

orbitron what program are you using to make those body designs?

macromedia flash. Although any photoediting software that incorporates layers will work. Basically, put another layer on top of the original image and trace the bodylines. Next erase the first layer except where you want it to be, like the interior or the tires. I like to use flash because it's vector based, and the lines are smoother and easier to manipulate after you've drawn them.

As 'orbitron' stated, he uses Macromedia Flash. I use Photoshop. Get pic of body from website or scan pic.
