So, this is my first attempt at a 7-wide and it's alot harder than I thought it would be. I'm happy with the front end so far, I need to find the other half of the black stripe, but I'm stumped on how to do the bumper and lower valance. As for the rear, I'm beyond stumped. I'm not sure how I'm going to get the shape of the b-pillar right, but I'm thinking I may have to lose the doors. I was going to make the greenhouse 6 wide so I could use regular wind screens, but now I'm wondering if I should just skip having real windows. And I have to get black mudguards, I think that will look much better.

I'm also wondering if I should have gone American. It would be easy to turn this into a Mustang, or even a Mopar muscle car.

C&C is much needed!

Nice start 'bootz', only one problem...the doors are too far back in respect to the front wheel arches, plus it would be better to use arch bricks to give a more flush appearance....but lets see how this progresses....keep going 'bootz' and Brick On Drive On ! :classic:

Okay, I think, you have chosen a rather challenging model - I must say I'd find it quite difficult to meet the specific shape of this Ford Falcon. I have just done some research and found this one:

Maybe this is an inspiration, because with the curved slopes it meets the silhouette quite well - and with 7 wide you have just some more room to design the sides. Maybe you can combine the slopes with your frontend which I think works well.

'bootz' something has just popped into my head....a SNOT bonnet to get that black paint work right.....actually I would generate a sticker for this but some don't like stickers. :wink:

Brick On Drive On 'bootz' ! :wink:
