Got some work done on the interior.  Blue Suede fabric trimmed out interior:

The car that will be eventually rebuilt.  Need a plan first though, that's the point of this concept and blog!




Added trim lines to hood and doors.  Added side skirt reinforcements.  Will begin work on the motor soon.
Lighting added with tire textures, much better render now.

Added exterior roll bars to front, soon the second half will cover the rear bumper.  Added additional fog lights and decals.

Modeling progress.  Filled in some lights, windows, tires, snorkel, cargo rack, HID lights, seats and dash.  It's all just rough geometry for now, detail is coming.


Folding solar panel design.  While parked they unfold to collect energy and provide shade for the interior.  Once batteries are charged they will run an active cooler (A/C or vent fan) to cool the interior.  Will have an auxiliary mode to position panels for maximize energy collection.  Perhaps once converted to hydrogen fuel cell this would charge on board batteries enough for a handful of miles before using fuel.  H2O byproduct from fuel cell could be collected in small amounts and with regenerative braking and solar cells could be converted back to H2 through electrolysis.
