Did anything ever come of this project? I learned about it recently from a friend and it appears nothing significant has happened since 2010, except the release of some mobile app in 2011.

It seems to me that too much excessive styling is being dedicated to the air vents
They are turning into a major design element on the dash and maybe should be downplayed a little
Also, the driver's side dash is too crowded with the gauges and vents
So, maybe consider moving the vents down onto the flat part of the dash to simplify the top of the dash and have a simple hood over the gauges
The same jewel like aircraft vents can be used but flush mounted instead

Re: Tweaking the Air Scoops – Bailey Blade XTR – Part 58

MHO.... I would make the this almost flush with the car. Bump it out only enough to get the air into the scoop in the front. The lines you have are nice and clean and not cluttered throughout the car especially in the back so keep it that way. Allow it to be subtle and not look like an add on by putting the bulk of the scoop inside the car. Use the same metal that you used in the grill inserts in the front for the opening of the scoop. I hope this makes sense.

Re: Bailey Blade Car Design | Building the Laser Gantry setup

Marlene Henley — Wed, 11 May 2011 08:24:47 -0000

Gantries are really helpful to car designers and painters out there! I find that high-tech gantry rare. I mean, only few are using them. It'll make a possible, beautiful outlook of a car in process, I guess. The works can also be easily done!

Re: Bailey Blade Car Design | Building the Laser Gantry setup

Neal Bailey — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:53:22 -0000

Its used to measure any area of the car, and to keep the symmetry while working both sides.

Like the Design both the roster and the coope, however the fastback look that your doing now is still up in the air for me. Not sure you need it to go back that far.

Re: Bailey Blade Car Design | What is the silver Tape? Fiberglassing

The film is most likely there to stop the tape from sticking to itself on the roll.

The beauty of the work is well documented. I notice that yes your having some issue with the body work, but that is understandable considering the issues you stated. The racepark? owner doesnt seem all that interested in helping with upgrading his bay for you, which speaks poorly of his foresight. The truth is I came to comment on just such issues, your work speaks for itself as well as your time invested, however I see the work eating into what else is necessary for you, perhaps you can use any weather downtime as you did earlier this year, to promote.
The fact that Blade stuck as a name, and the XTR, speaks pretty obviously to potential interest in contacting Wesley Snipes ( he didnt just act he helped produce--as well as those movies convinced more money be put into such). It may sound funny but this is marketing we are talking about as a premise to get more funding. As well, you know there are entertainment car officianados out there. Its not re-branding Im talking about but rather potential funding. Obviously I wouldnt get into your very serious issues of watching all the p's and q's in such, your a contractual worker you know what I mean.
Honestly, thats the main issue I wanted to check in finally here to see whats going on. I hate to see so much work drop onto deaf ears and I feel just the right break into the public eye would give your car wings, so to speak. Of course I dont know the particulars but I hope you either have some talent working on that for you, or at least the time to do so yourself. Im not from any car background myself, but I would think the reality of your situation in searching would be a need to get away from local or close individuals, because frankly its not in their best interest to help you over themselves. You need to look further to higher points of potential interest, and I hope that you can achieve just that.

Let me throw some links to you for thought or your own look if you got time-

Sorry in advance if Im just restating ideas or such youve had or overturned yourself, sadly thats a fact of internet notice compared to real-time :)
Hope to see more updated videos you said recently were coming, I despise facebook so no I wont go there, fills your computer with nonsense bandwidth eaters-- But the youtube videos were a stroke of genius apparent in your work. I do hope you never come there to post a video where the wife left and cut your car into bits some angry night, I know how texas weather can affect people, used to live in Houston.

See you round,
D

Re: Blade XTR Coupe Concept

I think the coupe looks fantastic, been following this build since the wood cut outs.

The window shield idea is good and the roof line blends nicely in to the tail and rear quarters. I would more consider playing with the shape of the window more so and a little less playing with the hard body lines you have for the new roof. Of course refinement is at its finest in full scale. Good luck.
