Good points by Derek and Brian regarding factoring in the cost of the rendering.

My point is that you can still be really creative and have some big league and tasteful body mods within a relatively modest budget. It doesn't matter whether they are ideas conceived by the owner or the designer, but in this particular case there were many ideas presented by both designers and Jeff that may be used. I think it just proves the point that you don't have to be building a $250,000 show car to reap the benefits of hiring a designer. Most of the mods shown only cost [Jeff] time and sweat. We work to any budget.



G-body, dude, you're not making many friends here. That Blue/silver cuda Jason designed is one of my all-time favorite Mopars! I don't know how you can publically criticize a guy so harshly who's got the credentials, client list or magazine coverage he has most definitely earned. I'd be less inclined to chime in on this if I knew Jason lacked modesty and wasn't the class act he is. If I remember correctly, this was his idea to donate the artwork. That speaks volumes of his character. I'll leave it at that before my big mouth gets me in trouble!

I was waiting to meet someone at a SEMA booth my last day in Vegas. I was talking to my contact when up walks Jason. I met him a few nights before at Sandlin's gig and expressed my admiration for his work as I am a fan. He thanked me for the complement and moved on. Of course I thought "Eccentric Artist", and I am totally cool with that. When we met for the second time, however, I found Jason to be a friendly, engaging and enthusiastic individual who was totally complementary of others work in designing cars. From 20 minutes of conversation I met a man who is confident in his work and I was duly impressed. We have subsequently spoke a time or two and I have found him to be a professional worthy of the praise and the acolaides he has recieved.

It takes a real simpleton to cut someone elses efforts. It takes a genuine A-hole to try to Gut someone like a fish for no good reason. Alot of us here consider this place home. Ripping people here is like takin' a dump in the fancy Powder room at a family reunion and not flushing. Its just rude man.

Jason, You da man.

This thread was asking for your favorite rendering; not your opinion of any of the artists who volunteered their time to do a rendering. We have a no bashing policy here and it is enforced.

You're welcome to have and share your opinion of the designs, but not your opinions of the people themselves. Even in your explanation/apology you have to get another dig or two in on Jason. That part of your opinion isn't allowed or welcomed here. If that's an issue then maybe you need to hang out elsewhere.

Dude

The general tone of your responce leaves a lot to be desired. Plenty of folks have expressed "Their opinion" here. Freedom of speech and all that. Go rip folks elsewhere.

Anyways, the voting is going well and the poll is open to the 15th.

The renderings will stay on the s-Curve page so they will always be easy to find as the project takes off.

Thanks everybody. All of you other than G-Body are the reason I'm on this forum so often. Some people just love to hate and use public forums to do it anonymously. Classy!
And G-Body, that "funky ass air cleaner" is a shaker scoop. You can see it clearly on the cover of Hot Rod.....

Done with that BS and back to the real reason for this thread: Z-Bugger has the right attitude. You found something you loved in every design and normally that's how the process works with a few drafts.
And Ben is right on the money in the explanation that hiring a designer is a worthy investment to any project of any budget. More often than not, we will increase the impact of a vehicle while still maintaining the budget.

I agree that Allen really has the right idea (scary though that may be) in that each design has its ups and its downs and that maybe combining some of them could be the way to go. It may still happen. I'm sure that the outcome of this thread, while very influential, will not put a gun to Jeff's head when it comes to finalizing the car.

Jason, there are always going to be haters, especially on the internet. You have no need to defend your work and your client list and portfolio prove that, but I'm preaching to the choir on this one. Good job not letting negative comments get you down and good work on the design.

Kris
