    Well, it ain't much... but I made some headway tonight. Finished the front bumper and did some more tweaking to the engine bay. Took me 3 hours to do the bumper alone!! Ugh... I guess I'm just that picky lol!!

    Anyway, here it is in 4 different colors:

    Here's an update with valance, turn signal lights, and front side running lights complete with textures. Also tweaked the rear a bit and am about to start on the rear valance, bumper, and lights.

    This is the critical part... Now I have to work on 3 separate models. Model #1 will be 1970-1972, model #2 will be 1973, and model #3 will be 1974-1977.

    I'm using a 3d modeling program called 3ds Max 2010.

    Ok I think I'm done with the body. I have the rear valance and bumper added and also added the rear side running lights.

    Now I can model the hardware (tailights, gas cap, door and trunk locks, license plate(s), door handles, etc.) and then move on to the chassis and drivetrain.

    Can anyone supply me with a top and front picture of a door handle? And possibly a high quality pic of a tailight? I'd appreciate it!!

    Ok, now that I'm at a critical point with this model, I can now ask your input.

    The first thing... Tailights. I'm already planning on including the Bobcat lights... but what others would you like included? Whatever you name, please provide either a picture or the make and model of the tailights.

    Also... Rear (and possibly front) Spoiler... I'm already working on the rear grabber spoiler... but are there any others you'd like? Again, please provide pics if possible.

    Hoods... Already planned on the Grabber hood and including the hood scoop similar to the Comet GT. Any others?

    And any other ideas you guys might have, please don't hesitate to let me know!

    I think I can swing that. (y) Also, as far as wheel sizes... What would you say for a maximum size? And for the wheel styles, I was planning on modeling all the stock wheels and hubcaps, and was planning on including a couple of my favorite Cragar rims along with that. Any other styles?
