Definitely!! Sketchpad articles in all the magazines back in the day are what got me into this business and it provides entertainment and inspiration to thousands of others.

Look at those articles with an open mind and you just might find your new project car!

Good job, Ben!

That's a couple really great points Jason.

I started out doing this for the same reason. I was totally fascinated by the artists/designers that have been doing this for decades and measured my work against theirs to see what I needed to work on. It was magazines that provided visibility of this niche within the automotive industry.

Often times, a plan of attack or vision is one of the hardest parts of a build project. Even if you imitate aspects of several different vehicles, it's sometimes difficult for folks to integrate these concepts into one design, even though they may have been pioneered by someone else. What "Sketchpad" features sometimes do is, not necessarily provide a "Copy/Paste" idea for you to build but rather a starting point for you to create an evolution of that concept perhaps. Who knows where it could lead from there.

I was stoked to see that in the magazine. I have a 64 F-85 and I love seeing these cars in the magazines instead of the more common chevelles and GTOs.

I love Hdesign's work and love all the renderings and art in the magazines since I have always wanted to draw cars that well.

I cut this one out of the mag, and taped it to my wall infront of my drawing table! Then again, Im an Olds fan. Aweome work.

Awesome Ben! Looks like it was a fun project! Has that old fighter jet look to it. True meaning of the Old's Rocket.

That's always what envisioned that page for, too bad PHR killed it when I left.. we have the same deal in Camaro Performers now but we are limited to Camaros.

I love this render. I am actually got a line on a 65 cutlass 442 that I want to turn into a corner carver.
