Unfortunately, I have none of those sets, so I can't even test whether that
would work. LEGO steering parts tend to be quite large, which does make the
"turning in place" really hard to implement. I doubt any steering parts
could fit inside the wheels I used and still allow the wheels to rotate.
Another problem with turning the wheels around is that then they will no
longer appear low profile.

Nice drawings! I like the look of the windsheilds like that. The only
problem with your solution is that there's no room to implement it while
retaining the working headlights. The parts you placed interfere with the
wires for the headlights, the lights themselves, and the wheel well area.
Do you dislike the slopes because of the texture? or because they are
steeper than the rest of the car? I specifically used these slopes because
the headlights are steeper than the body on the real car:

might have gone with a windshield solution.

Thanks again.

Classes have started again, but I'll try to build some more stuff once I
have my new website complete. The Diablo is already up:

as are a bunch of other "Land" models:

Please LMKWYT of the layout/design, and any other comments on the Diablo.
