Yeah, the original model had large extra faces in the lower corners of the grills. They were big and took over most of the bottom of the grill. The original model has been floating around for a long time on vertually every free site out there. The version I started with was a single object with no materials at all. I heard after I started that one is floating around that was split up a little bit, oh well, too late. Someone at 3D Commune has a version for sale for $25.00. I noticed they didn't do any more work to it other than splitting it up when I saw in the pictures that with the doors open there weren't even any jamb areas. I couldn't see paying $25.00 for that one when I knew I could do a much better job with it. I actually enjoyed creating the engine, trunk and detailing it out to look as realistic as possible. I actually created most of the texture set from pictures from classic Chevy online parts stores. The Battery is even an Ac Delco. :)
