First off, I didn't make the base model.
So, anyway, here's te rundown.
It strated as a red stock Plymouth GTX. As of now, I've fattened the tires, lowered it, colored it purple, and replaced the grill logo with the words "Import Killer."
Oh, and added a red nitrous bottle with "ZEX" written on it, which is a real company.
And, I intend to make it a convertable and put a newer Dodge engine in it. :grin:

Lot's o' stuff huh?

That's pretty cool. What program are you using? Is it going to transform—because it looks alot like a Decepticon to me.

I am using the google sketchup program. If you'd like to try it, it's free, i'l get you the link if you'd like.
Anyhoo, Making transform is gona be hard, but I can probably throw it into blender and animate it.
Good idea. :grin:

Very impressive for Sketchup. I use SolidWorks daily so I'm much more used to that then anything else....I almost want to make my own car now. And a robot to go with it. Almost.

Well, everyone prefers something.
But, tell me more of this "SolidWorks".

It's a solid modeling program for use in mechanical, structural and sometimes civil engineering. It's the baby brother of Pro/E.
