It looks like a pantera with a 05 GT nose.

How much would it rock to own a Pantera?

adam

Oh man, I would so rock a Pantera.

I'd prolly convert it to an efi stroked windsor setup instead of the original 351C tho.

I honestly (ok, don't believe me... haha) glanced at that sketch for 1 second and new exactly what car it was. My dad had one growing up and I always thought those lines on that car are one of a kind, no car has a "faster-back" than the 71-73 fastbacks. Props to you RC for getting the sketch scaled down and still maintaining the cars lines.

Thanks man....especially since I (no kidding) SUCK at art

Here's what I did:

Took a pic of the car.
Copied on to a blank slide on Power Point
Used the free form trace tool to trace the outline.
Deleted the original picture.
Then used the "resize" button to size the outline down until it fit on the piece of wood.


Then, I held the outline over the block of wood, and used a sharpie to place a small dot on the paper wherever a major turn in the outline began. The Sharpie ink seaped through the white paper and left a dot on the wood.

Then, I just connected the dots (using a sketch motion) with a fine pencil.

I LOVE COMPUTERS!!!

Here's an update.

The wheels unfortunately are going to look disproportionate, because Im not allowed to make them smaller. I just put the black paint on today and dry fit the parts. I need to wet sand then a final black coat, then the silver striping, then glue the parts on.

Now, because I cant make a flip open hood, I decided to just cut a hole for the engine bay, and have that piece stick out. Because it was hard to sand the inside, I bought some shiny foil tape, and when Im done painting, Im going to drop in the foil tape, then glue the engine parts in.
