1955 DeSoto Firedome

[talon5]

started working on this at lunch time at work, hope to do a complete interior with it as well. the front section i had to completely remodel as i found top down ref picture , i welcome crits and comments,

[mpfive]

looks pretty sick, i dont know the car very well, so unfortunetly i cant crit it, which may be a good thing btw, lol, but it looks pretty clean

[offthahorseceo]

Erm, no it don't.
It looks like a great start, cool choice of car too

Maybe Tamas meant the headlight fairings, which indeed are resembling the Trabant's. But while in the East German car they are painted, in the DeSoto they are fully chromed. And pointed, check here http://www.seriouswheels.com/images/..._Fireflite.jpg

Also maybe it's a good idea to detach the bumper from the front body, for better detailing.
Let's see progress talon5!
I have been long wanting to do a DeSoto. Maybe a 34 Airflow Coupe...
