long time no update, im busy making a website for my work and ive been out of town this past weekend.

i spend about 20 minutes on it tonite to define the doors a bit, and a couple other subtle body lines, starting to work my way back, but i cant figure out the grill behind the hood at the base of the windshield.

but once i get that and get the windshields in i can start on the mouldings and finally do some tail light work and then that will be it for this one. after that im just gonna work on getting a good render out of it.

edit: that render was horrible, hold on im re rendering

the side wall of the tires isnt matched up/merged with the tread, i noticed this after i rendered so im gonna have to go and fix that up.

i finally got a re-render.
it was a bit of a wait, but i think its worth it, im very impressed with the render.

i just photoshopped out the windows to make it look like it has temporary windows.

a big thing im missing is a flare on the rear fenders, also the rear end doesnt look lined up quite right.

this looks like the next-gen of cars in the 1970's. the design is cool looking.

A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

slight slight slight update

you probably wont be able to notice much done, but i started to crease the side of the body how the car is suppost to be, and i added a door handle (the actual handle didnt have the right shader so it didnt show up in the render)

and i also worked the rear bumper a bit.

what is left:
tail lights
exhaust system
windows

then a final render will end this project

ive lost interest a bit, but i still kinda plug away at it every now and then when i get the chance.

enjoy
