Tks very much to everyone for the comments...

@Pan3sar, Tks mate for help me out here with that kind of detail, I,m posting a few references and I think i have a decent size on the rivets, but let's check.
I think everything on these cars looks huge, because the thing itself is really tiny. Do you know the story about the bubble in the roof because the size of the driver, back in the late 60's?

@Lookdown11, Thank you very much man!
If you want to see a ref in a specific part pls let me know, I have plenty of those.
I'm using nurbs just to generate clean topology in some pieces, I'm using polys too though. I haven't found issues so far, probably later on with the engine o when the model will turn in to a more complex state. The only thing that is usual is the slow rotations of the camera while working but I fixed that with the interactive shading option.

Cheers!

hmm I see, yeah they look about right, Id like to think im a little young to know about that :P but surely it would be more aerodynamic if the whole roof was lifted a little higher? rather than a bubble on one side of the car which would cause some sort of disturbance

Ha ha ha ha, I agree with you, as them! I mean (Ford), the bubble was made customized in the last minute for the driver because he was to tall to fit in.

What you mean a little young the knowledge is just there.
I did fix the rivets, they are a bit smaller now.

Cheers!

i'm agree with TomSUllivan.. this is in the top works... very very good project.. so clean... lot of details... i'll be waiting for the final result!

[LuisNieves]

Hello,
Not much but some cleaning...
The rear brake disc, pad, and caliper are ready. Using that last word you are going to have a million of good references in google.

Cheers.

Hello gentlemen, Thank you all for the comments.

I want to let you know that is not gonna be possible for me to make updates for the next 15 days.
I'm taking a little vacation in Dublin and London. I'll have a laptop with me but I think this kind of file will be really a pain in the neck to manage with a little machine.

I'll be checking the forum often though. Tks everyone for your support, good luck, see you soon.

Cheers!
