What year was the Vette in Corvette Summer? If it wasn't the year, it's the same body. Wait 'til Krel gets a look at Chezoom! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou . That said, it looks like a 4wd. Slam the sucker. And smooth the roofline and thicken the eyebrow over the headlight. For both cars, in addition to the wheels turning if the fronts and rears spin and move upa nd down, then you could get into vehicle dynamics. They only look like that in the showroom. I like this general direction. What do you think of the Deco Rides 38/40 Lincoln Zephyr 3-window coupe? Cadzilla?

I8TOKYO =) The best source images would be the centerspread and article from Hot Rod magazine. I'll go price a USB scanner this afternoon (no really, I've been needing one.) A ZZ-Top beard prop would be mandatory. One English as a 2nd language thing: Allow-edness. All-loudness would refer to the tailpipes. =) I 'think you're in .de, can you translate 'Unrust-Bausatx' and 'Rustsatzen'? The steering wheel seems a little high in the new Chezoom image. There should just be fingerspace between the hood of the dash and the top of the wheel. I hear you about the base meshes. That's what keeps me from having the vehicles I need to do work for the local VW club. I'm thinking instead of working from pictures to take a scale moodel and bandsaw it into slices -- one half lengthwise and the other half crosswise and then scan the slices in a fixture so I can create what in naval architecture is called a lofting. There are US$50K devices that would do it non-destructively. I wonder about Intellectual Property issues with custom cars; are you less likely to be sued by a single car owner, compared to say Caroll Shelby who is currently suing people who make a lot of money selling clones of the AC Cobra (AC plagerized the design before the hooked up w/ Shebly.) Anyway, nice effort.
