Hey, Grafik, I don't know how your efforts turned out but I did start something and got some useful results. It is in the form of a tutorial, however it isn't done yet. However, here is the gist of what I did: 1) Use the spline modeler to model the undercarriage with the wheel wells for the car. This is most important since it is the basis of all else that follows. 2) convert the spline model to a vertex model and begin to extrude the sides using extrude and sweep. Move and shape the vertexes to produce the outer shell of the car. This can be as all one piece or as pieces for the door, hood, trunk, etc. Form the piece(s) into the shape of the car. 3) Depending on how detailed you are in defining the body, you may or may not have to cut out the windows since they may already be accounted for. My tutorial is generic and only gives pointers for using the tools and not any details for specific cars. Hopefully, I will be able to get it online soon. .Painter
