Default Design committee

Can you tell us any more about this? When you say "Design Committee" are you referring from an engineer / mechanical fabricating or design meaning color and look?
The design committee is a group of friends that I trusted with color/texture/presentation issues. When I wasn't sure what I thought, I'd convene the design committee and we'd kick some ideas around. Sometimes they'd split on their recommendation, and sometimes they'd be unanimous in what they thought.

I'd take those ideas and incorporate them, or change them, or ignore them, but it was very very helpful to hear their opinions. Luckily, they'd tell me what they really thought, not what they thought I wanted to hear. I only trust a few people to tell me I am an idiot. Sometimes, I'd ignore them for awhile, and then come around to their manner of thinking. Sometimes it would work the other way around.

I started this project thinking I'd do it all myself. I've learned that's nearly impossible, and a few buddies' support can really help you build a better car.
