Whether or not the intake manifold was also be used on an inline 8, I have no idea. All I know is that this is REALLY OLD. This guy creates patterns for engine parts needed by car restoration aficionados. This guy still does everything by hand, paper, etc. I've tried to explain to him that he could do some wicked pattern design using SolidWorks and CNC machines. He doesn't want anything to do with it. He just likes the pretty pictures. If one of you out there could do what he does, but using CAD, you could probably put him out of business. You can see more of his stuff at http://empiremotorsinc.com/ More of my renderings for this guy here: http://www.60hzproductions.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=35&g2_itemId=2503 Devon,

That is an interesting story. I understand how you did the model now. very cool. yeah, you got it, sketch layouts for top-down assemblies. That is an interesting story.

Yes, it's rendered in Photoworks. Not sure about sketch layouts, you mean the ones you do for Top-down assemblies? This was just sketches and manually created planes. The client had the drawing for it (dating back to the 1920's), so I simply created those views in sketches, then started to create the features. Thank you for all the comments.

Do you use Sketch layouts to create your stuff? Cause it looks an awful lot like the sketches I layout for things I create. That rendering is nice and smooth looking. you have fun don't you?
