Same shape though (a no-nonsense, no real extra material design that I wholeheartedly approve of).
Pretty hard to say this design posted was a alteration of your design alone though. West coast is obviously known for their drive designs and I must say that the link you posted was up way after a few greats such as 254 and team 60. Just throwing it out there.

On another note, alex, thanks for sharing your take on the west coast drive with the rest of chiefdelphi it's always nice to see what all the teams get out of other great role model teams.
