thanks for the comments guys..
Caligraphics... I would have to agree with you.. alot of the reason why the windows don't match up is because I had just converted it to Subd's and I didn't harden all of the edges or verticies, so it just made the back window more round. But after messing with it for a while... I have decided to make it a roadster, easy fix to the windows... but now I have to do the interior. Oh well.. Thanks,
Brian

Car´s looking mighty fine, even though it´s still on diapers.

I would say you have to check though the car´s chassis near the front wheels, since the current configuration doesn´t allow them to turn. (Bad thing for a roadster) user added image

Keep on it bud, excellent work (as usual from you) user added image

yep! The design still needs tons of work... user added image

But anyways.. Here is an update... The front end still needs to be reworked... I am going to give it a retro look, very similar to the old 50's Vetts. That sound ok? The crease in the middle is just temp, I was going to wait until the design was finnished, before I change the creases. What do you think? Thanks,
Brian,
BTW, now I have about 2 hrs invested in the model

Looking mighty good!
You do work fast man. user added image

Perhaps making those lights bigger? They kinda seem underrated on the overall model.
Have you done any planning on the model? I mean design it on paper for example? I´d like to see one if available.

yeah, the lights will be bigger and they will be round like in the old 50's sports car

Yeah, I was screwing around with a sketch last night at home when I was procrastinating on doing my storyboard for class, but I don't have it with me, Plus... I keep changing it as I go... But I can try to post it later.

here is an udate... think I will widen the "mouth" of the front bumper and I will flatten the headlights so that they fit into the car alittle better. Thanks,

nice model so far brian. if the air things on the side of the door shall have a function then they should not end at the door. the door would not be of much use if the air is getting pumped into the door.
