Well, since we have the CDS Co-Pilot, I think we will try that first.

I'm already itching to skin this thing.
Here is the brand new virgin floor.
Don't we all wish ours looked this nice.

A little more of the body completed this evening.
This bit was a nice challenge in 3D Studio Max.

Tom, are you a CAD guy in "real life"? This is looking far too easy for you.....

Hey Marshall,
Well, I work at Chrysler and was a Cad Designer for 17 years.
So, it is in my blood for sure. The trick is just adapting to a different
Cad program.
Added in the side pods today.
Also added a driver for size references.

Aww man. Why did you have to use Keith as the passenger?
Closest he could come to a crash test dummy?
It has no engine so he doesn't have to worry about KC wrecking the car?
Doug won't sit in anything but a FF?
Leave it to one driver to call another a passenger!

I'm a passenger sometimes when I let the spirits drive the car.Matt will get to experience that when he's passing me this season.
Great work Tom!
I can't put my finger on it, but something looks off with the sidepods though. Are they too far back or something? Maybe it'll look in place more when I have rear tires and the cowl to put things into perspective.

It is that perspective distorting things again.
Here is another shot with the bolsters and mirrors on it.
I will tackle the tail next. That will clean up the curvature
issues you are seeing.
Any updates Tom?
No updates at the moment Matt.
Any updates?
Really nice Tom. Are you working in Editable Poly or in another way? Just curious how someone with your experience is approaching this.
Tom,
Hows the FE been coming? I havent seen any updates recently. Hopefully you didnt hit any road blocks, but I would love to test this car out.
Ah, not much progress Matt.
I have been working on my real FE.
Any chance this will be revived with winter upon us?

Tom sold his FE so I'm thinking this is dead.

Hey guys,

Started to line up the rear section to my reference photo.
Pretty interesting shot to say the least.
