(40 days until the 2011 WHPSC)
Now that I have firmed up where the wheels, crankset, seat back, floorboard, and hood will be, it's time to create a side profile to get an idea what the overall shape of the streamliner might look like. So I returned to my drafting table on the garage floor.

After many hours of repositioning the floorboard, seat back, and hood if the body, I finally arrived at a configuration where I can see and my heels and toes don't hit.

I continued to mock up the drivetrain.
Now that I have an idea where the highest point is, I know where the top of the body has to be. Unfortunately, I can't see over the facsimile nose.
Time for more refinements.

Now that I have a pretty good idea where the wheels and bottom bracket will be, it's time to start designing a subframe using the drafting "table" otherwise known as my garage floor.
Here is what I envision.
Time for another test run.
