Hey everyone.
I purchased my Sterling Kit car back in 2010 from a kid in Indiana. The car was rough, barely running, but it would start and drive. So after many emails, and an undisclosed amount of money, the car was shipped to me via an auto carrier.
Once I received the car, I had to take her a couple of rides just for fun. But quickly, my goal of modernizing this car took hold.
I love the looks and the lines of the sterling and Nova kit cars. But to me I see something more, that begs me to bring this car into the 21st century.
That has been the goal of this project. To keep this car a Sterling, and keep its heritage, but to tweak things in a way that would compliment the car as if it were designed today.
So like it or not, this design has taken me nearly 5 years to get to what I feel is right...
First the Exterior:
Final design render (to scale)
2010 photo still a WIP
The new projected nose (to scale)
It took me an incredible amount of failed attempts to get this design working. A collaborative team in the design field helped to iron out all of the kinks. Now with a clear vision and automotive design classes behind me The pressure is now on to complete this transformation.
