Who should drive?
OK guys, I would appreciate some input here. Love it or hate it please feel free to let me know what you think.
I have sketched up 3 options for the driver.
Option 1: Wild Willy body with Moto helmet
Option 2: Wild Willy body with Cowboy hat (thanks to Matt Hicks for letting me use his head as a mock up)..
Option 3: The old classic Cowboy (I would of course do an updated more detailed sculpt).
Let me know what you think?
Option 1.
Option 2.
Option 3.

Looks awesome!
BTW, have you considered some custom heads? I like the casts made to customize old MEGO figures. You can see them here: [Click here]

I like option 3 for it scale looks but with a baseball cap instead. Very Awesome!

1 or 3 for me
Steffen
What about a twist on the Sand Scorcher driver? His helmet is nicely 'in period'.
njmlondon
I like both 1 and 3. Agree with Steffen that an open-faced helmet such as the SS driver should work really well too.

no2, a perfect twist on the driver to match a perfect twist on a classic model..

Yep Wild Wendy

For such an amazing scale looking buggy it would have to be 3, the others look great but not in the rover.

James, you let me down then. I saw the small pic on the home page and I thought finish those super cool helmets you were designing
every film we see these in no one had a hat or helmet.
I love option 1, but you've spent hours/days getting that body completely scale. I think you have to have a complete scale figure that is completely perfect for the era of this buggy... Maybe no hat at all..
Badboy
For scale look #3. But why not two girls driving around on the beach with their hair blowing in the air? Check with toymkr

Option 1 for me!! Looks class
gozone
Definitely option 3. In such a beautiful scaled car, the other 2 would seem too 'cartoon´ish', I think.

Toykid I like your creations!
kontemax
Old Classic Cow Boy for me.
CASE1
great work! In this car I like them in order 2-3-1 (2 = best) But it depends on how wild or scale you gonna paint the body as well. Anuway: all 3 very very nice

Holiday Buggy head for me James, all about scale for me
CAVS995

Option 1 for me

I would say go the whole hog an put a scale Elvis figure in, someone posted a vid of one he was driving, looked so cool, and would be the crown your creation deserves!
Frank Lux
Honestly None of them, such a nice project needs an nice new designed driver...!!! Sorry!!!
No Slack
Of course option 3 because of the scale looks. What a fine car.
Basket Case
Number 3 for me.

Option 1, à different car needs à différent pilot.Great work.
R/CVET
I'm going to agree with most so far and say option 3 because it just looks right but option 1 is a very close second. I'd have no problem with the racer look.
Team Rawlings
#3 for me but loos the hat! Or completely new figure, something with a short sleev shirt or dare i say a chik would really go well. I'm sure what ever you come up with is going to be a ripper!
bdamit
I think I should drive.
