OMG, thats amazing :p how do you do those scuff on the bumpers ?? and add decals and stickers on ??

[PatelDesigns]

That looks real nice so far. I like the scuffs and mashed up FB. Hope you continue it to the back of the car. Awesome interior work... i just dont understand something.. is that a rear passenger window thats been blocks out ? Also the mazda emblem decal on the hood looks very jagged.

[Reckoner]

Yeah I agree with Patel and some of those decals need their opacity lowerd a bit.

Why would I continue a front end damage to the back ?
I do know the interior still needs work to match this car and Im working on it.
The hood emblem...well Ill try that one again. I used great eps for all the logos but I guess skewing it F'ed up the resolution.
THanks for your C&C

Yeah bro, real nice job on this so far.
Do you plan on adding a background?
I would suggest making the Schlitz side decal a tad smaller and shorten it, then warp it more to better follow the body contour.
Look at the original door lines for the correct amount of bend.

I have a nice pit area background for this project.
I will try shortening the logo but it is centered since the black bull is part of it .
I did ward the logo already but will make it more pronounced.
this is my 4th chop so I dont think its too bad.
thanks !

How do the decals look now ?
also started correcting the interior, the door line is better now.

I still have to fix the back of the interior, but let me know what you think

[Reckoner]

Lose the hoochie!
The interior is looking pretty good so far.
There is just something about the decals that bothers me. They don't have the same lighting as the car if that makes sense.

[PatelDesigns]

^ Agreed, loose the girl.. thought that focal point was the car...

[demon designs]

i agree dump the bint, replace with a stack of spare rims and tyres or something more fitting to the scene. comming on good tho.

[eurost1]

Better!! MUCH BETTER! Coming along very nice.

[IgorDesign]

I like it very much. It's looking very realistic.
There's only one bad thing. It's behind the right window, where the roll bar is. You don't have that much space there. It looks like you can put back seats, even dough there's no space at all.

[PSDavinci]

Is the other pit crew guy doing some form of Tai Chi or does he needs to take a leak, real bad! :D

Jk bro, I think you've done a great job on this.
Way to stick with it, your perserverance definitely paid off.

However, and I know how we all hate suggestions, especially when we want to be done with a chop.
But, I think to be perfect you need to do three things.

1. Remove the added pit guy. Props on the effort to make it better by adding more to the pic but in this case it hurts more than helps. The action is too distracting. Keep the focus on the car. If it there was a driver in the car and in more of a racing setting it would probably work better.

2. I would suggest you add the panel lines through the numbers on the bay doors.
They would appear painted on and more realistic.
They look like some big magnetic stick-on types or something.

3. I agree theres too much going on in that interior. Looks like theres an inflatable boat in there or something.
Lighten up the drivers seat then darken up everything behind the roll bars.

Thats it from me bro, take it with a grain of salt.
Regardless, again good job.
