    Finally got some time to do some more modeling. Finished the tail lights, finally. :D

    Been a rough month. New job is nice and I really like it but it's stressful. Slowly learning to cope, though. Thank goodness the people I work with are awesome.

    Anyway, here's some pics... Hope everybody is doing great!!

    Looks amazing..
    Just a couple of notes. Something seems odd at the end of the bumper on the inside. The top of the end looks good but there is a squareish looking shape on the inside.
    And I'm sure you know that the bumper is missing the bolts in the second pic..

    Not sure what you're talking about... :huh:
    You mean area A or B in this pic?

    And yes, I knew the bumper bolts are missing. Just haven't gotten around to adding them yet. :D

    Okay... question(s):

    1.)Can I use this software to conceptualize a car with a vinyl top, custom stance, and custom color?

    2.) If so, what do I need to do?

    You sold me on your program. :bowdown: Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell me on technology? Near impossible. An Apple device has, yet, to make it into my hands and still, I want to use your program. You're that good.

    As of now, I was planning on implementing all the original colors for the Mavs (70-77) and was planning on making the vinyl top an option in the finished product. Custom stance will be a bit tricky because you cannot move any of the parts around in the finished product... unfortunately.

    However, since you pointed this out, I can create a couple stances. Perhaps a "level" stance, a "classic" muscle car stance (like what it is now), a "super mod" angle, with the back end slightly higher than the "classic" stance, and perhaps a "lowered" stance, too. Even after it's finished, I can update the models and add more options if necessary. So I will entertain any suggestions for ride height/angle. (y)

    I will also entertain any suggestions for custom colors as well.

    And thanks for the input and I'm glad you like it!! :yup:

    Sweet. The muscle-car stance sounds like what I'm going for, anyway. A very slight rake, but, definitely not "stink-bug." The custom color I'm, personally, thinking of is the Mineral-Gray Metallic that came on the 2001 Mustangs. It has a bronze-ish hue in direct light.
