Given the task of designing a new hood for the Flyer 60-6 I had three main goals in mind. I wanted to revitalize the front end to be more in line with current Flyer designs. I looked to improve the overall visual into a more cohesive and complete look. And I wanted to bring some more modern components into the vehicle like new headlights to help bring the design forward.
Improve.
Revitalize.
Modernize.
Created cardboard mockup to ideate surfaces, panel positions, and to shape the hood around pre-existing component space claims.
We then translated the cardboard into sheet metal to get a rough fit and see how to best adjust and attach the design to the vehicle.
After various iterations and redesigns, we fit the finalized sheet metal for the Flyer 60-6 hood. From there it was onto final paint and assembly.
