Oh and do a search in the 3Dwarehouse for a PWD Wheel... I left a version of the one on my car there... it is basically the same but I have added the spokes.

I realize that is just an example but a simple shape like the fender you have there wouldn't be worth loading another program... but I will check it out as I see what you are getting at by stitching the parts together, it might save me a lot of time on the complex stuff. This took 3 minutes to do in...

With wheels... you know I should be working on my PWD car... this is eating into my shop time

perl? nope just drawing lines, filling them in, grouping them together, and smoothing them out... can I assume perl is a better way to do it? Any one got some official BSA wheels I can put on this? http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Je-5tK_sfi8/SiiOHQLwFDI/AAAAAAAAAWs/TabNd-w-ZN0/s800/330-P4.jpg and you figured ...

Figured out the translations... to mirror an object you need to group it and then go into the properties of the group and flip it over one of the axises.

Couldn't sleep and I got bored...

This is the guts of the Ferrari I just made... took longer to do this in SketchUp than it did to cut it out of wood.

He said it took him four months, and snagged some of the components. Some people are slow :rofl: Actually I have the audio turned off on my computer so often, I forget to turn it on and listen to what is actually going on. And the scale kind of worked for me but it was not pretty... some resurfacin...

...and it is easy to just jump in and use. If you're looking to design you own stuff, this didn't take long to put together, however to actually make something like the General Lee... not me, I don't have an extra week to blow on computer doodles. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Je-5tK_sfi8/Sia3WjwNkCI/AAAAAA...

A little more shape and a base coat of red... FERRARIs have to be red.

Talk about more time consuming... check out the SKETCHUP GENERAL LEE BUILD on youtube.

Oh I like the google program... I use it more for landscape design. For the cars there are a lot of parts to most of the things I put together and sketchup is not as friendly as coreldraw for pushing and pulling nodes and parts around, working in transparent layers, incorporating and manipulating ph...

I use coreldraw

Wow, I guess we are proving Bill right... 92 posts, oh my... maybe we are a little crazy... I only thought we were a bit left of center but by the looks of things...

Try something like this then: Wheels must be official BSA wheels, molding marks may be removed, hubs may be coned, you may removed material from the inside surface of the wheel however no changes may be made to the axle hole itself. Wheels must be no lighter than 2.5 grams which may be checked by an...

Day one of the build... cut out, glued together and minor shaping...
don't ask when day two will be, the wife is nagging at me to finish the bathroom reno, LOL.
