J/k, is that a wireframe for some tests?

Very nice, I like the front plate. The undercarriage is going be tough.

EDIT: Are those the AP1 BBS 6 spoke? Why not AP1 Enkei 5 spoke?

EDIT: Winshield dosen't look upright enough, it could just be me. Maybe after it's textured.

It did? Damn it!

This was orginially an IGES file that I scooped up from a board member. Basically, it doesnt contain much data except for a LOT of triangles making up the various surfaces. I'll be spending a lot of time in the next few days creating the surfaces from these base points...

The undercarriage will be flat.

I'm not sure what rims they are. They do look Enkei'ish don't they?

This model is proportionally accurate. Painfully accurate actually. You'll see when I map out the surfaces.

Very nice

Maybe you should add the little air guides in front of the front wheels?
