[celica1985]

i did see a 3 view of it somewere on here but they were at very off angles.
i am useing a side picture reference that i have attached and a butt-load of angle refs.

your heaadlight need to be bigger, i think you need to make them highter
btw i know its difficult to model without print so good luck!

I did have a few shots of the front straight on but i deleted them

[celica1985]

small update
i did end up inlarging the hedlights a bit but according to the side ref i am useing, the headlights arnt very tall. usually as long as i have a side ref and lots of angle pics i can do pretty good. most of my experence in 3d modeling came from low poly firearms, witch you usually only have a base side ref and angle pics

nothing like losing a whole days worth of work cause your app gets shut down unexpectedly for now apperent reason *sigh*

have you ever heard of the autoback folder? your work gets saved in there automatically, every (dont know the amount of time) but if your app shuts down after a couple o fhours of work chances are your only gonna loose like a half hour of work. But you have to make sure that you open it right away becosue if you start doing something else than its gonna start saving that and your old projects will be written over. Anyways its located in the 3ds folder. so just click back out of the scenes and go into autoback and your work will be there, thats is if you didnt start redoing it for a couple of hours. Anyways dont be pissed about that. Yesterday my brotehr tried installing freebsd on my good computer and he screwed up with partitions. so right now he cant get my old files back so i probably lost 3 months of work - (about 600 hours of work) that was not saved on any other disc or computer. It consisted of 2 in progress cars, 1 finfished car. A house, and some other little projects. Well is really sucks to be me right now

Wow, great modelling job ! Looking forwards to seeing this evolve

as Tommy said you should make use of the autobakup feature in max, I have mine set to save in 5 rotating file every 5 minutes, plus that I save manually every 15 minutes or so with the incremental save.

Havent lost anything more than 5 or 15 minutes of work so far ... *knock on wood*
