Wanted to convert a existing 1979 Vette to a 1972. But have to replace most of the parts, because in the original-mesh where flaws and gaps. All green sections are for the moment the original-parts. What have to be done: -Rear Bumpers -Exhaust's -New Hood -All windows -Boyd Codington Alu-Wheels -Front Bumper -Some small chrome stuff like license-plates etc. -Maybee interior -Maybee motor I think for the textures, most of you have their own ideas.

If you get to the point where you are going to make this into a poser figure, I can show you how to make both tires turn with a single control. The idea is based off the superhero control on people. As for engine and interiors, if you grab some of the meshes from 3dcafe like the lumina, they have interiors, seats etc as seperate parts that can be scaled and put in. Looks great!

Excellent Rob... it's coming along quite well.. By the bye... where'd you find the original mesh? Cheers

This looks like it will be great!! We need more muscle cars!!! Love to see a Camaro, especially from the '70s.... Krel

To Mason, Thanks for your will to help, i'm shure i need them for making the whole thing poser-ready. Thanks also about the input with the interior, but i want to make it as original as possible, means i model it myself. To Wizzard, The original-mesh is from 3D-Cafe. It's in the file RaymondsRanch in the Environment-section. But forget it, i have tested it more then 20 times to download this 14Megs-file. It clashes all the times. A really helpfull community-member had sent me then the vette-mesh. Thanks a lot to him. Without him this work would not be possible. To Krel, At 3D-Cafe is also a 69-Camaro, that needs a lot of work while the mesh isn't the best. But now, there's also a 70-Barracuda and this mesh is really good. Maybee some of you can do that as a poser-ready mesh. SHARKEY

I can do the barracuda, maybe tonite. Its at 3d cafe?

Hello, Well, here's the Corvette convertible. Finally got it Poserized. The doors and hood open/shut. The front tires turn in unison (figured out that EMC thing...sort of). Comments/Suggestions ? hdrider

Also: As I really don't know much about cars, what year is this Corvette anyways? Also #2: Does anyone have an idea where this mesh may have come from? Like I said before, it's not mine and I probably better not distribute it without the owners consent.

Looks great!

To Mason, Yes, the Barracuda is at 3D-Cafe, it seems the base is good. There's also a 427-Cobra and a 64-TBird. The Cobra is a file with extension xxx.PRJ , don't know for which programm this is. But the size of the file looks like it must be good base. To Hdrider, WOW, your Vette looks absolutely cool. Sorry, no idea from where it is or come from. I really wish you, to find out who's the creator. It's a 65 to 66, the front-fender defines this. 2 horizontal rips for 63 to 64 3 vertical rips for 65 to 66 5 vertical rips for 67 Have also no idea who has made the one i'm working on. Have sent a mail to 3D-Cafe to tell me the mail of the mesh-creator. No answer since Sunday. As i have to make most of the parts from new, i will post it. This evening i needed two hours only for the frontspoiler. At end more then 90% of the mesh is new. SHARKEY

You sure do have your work cut out for you! Nice job so far... Do you have a pic of the wheels you mentioned? If I get ambitious I might give you a hand there...you should be pretty well beat hammering sheet metal by then! Just throw the pics in email or sent a link where I can see them... Fox

robertsharkey, Thanks for the good comments. Like I said, I don't know where the model came from. This may help. All the parts were in German. Made it a LOT more interesting figuring everything out. The Cobra file with a xxx.PRJ extension is a .3DS project file. Most 3D programs will read it (I think). Also, I'm working a Corvette hard top but am having trouble with getting the door windows to roll down. hdrider

To Foxhollow, I search for some photos of these wheels and send it to you this evening (european-time). To Hdrider, If you don't find the creator, with this Vette you have a fair chance to rebuild it to a Mako Shark MK-II Experimental Corvette. The back would only need a small touchup. With the front you have to do a little bit more, like peaking the nose and bend the fenders. Here's a pic and link: Mako Shark MK-II SHARKEY
