How are you drawing this? It looks as though your planes are triangulated already.
Are you drawing it with the sandbox grid?

I was wondering the exact same...

No, I am using simple poly modeling (as some times reffered to)....there is a simple set of video tutorial after the jump: http://cid-4a6ec86d99895c84.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/SketchUp%20Files/Tutorials.zip

haha...oh i'm interested....just sitting here watching and impatiently waiting for updates keep em coming..looking good so far..

Here is a quick update:

Progress includes:
Front window and trim
Rear window and trim
Rear lid and vents
Rear Bumper (Basicly(just using the outline for the poly's arround it))

Overall progress is about 15-20%

If anyone can find a really good refference image of the mag wheels for this car that would be great, I dont know what theay are called.

Thanks all for the comments.

Found on the net that this car should have been the concept for the mustang mach II, maybe you should change the thread's title, cause it would be easier for people to search for it as mustang mach 2 on google.
And about the wheels, they look very similar to the 1971 Mustang Mach 2 you can probably adapt them.

ATTENTION

U people are too lazy!! U ask ever and ever how u do that?But u never start to do something like that.
When we say that we use Line tool for making those nice shapes u say that is taking to much time.Well yes is taking time but it s worthy.
Happy sketching!

What do you mean.... I think it's accurate

Ok, back on topic. Here is a small update: Wheel is done http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=9953278cb95d5430fabe8c1aa46d45a

Sitting at 5928 poly's

I think what ely means it's that in the original the dark part is not a hole it's black painted metal

Roguer1 · 2 Sept 2008, 08:19

Well from what I can tell its the brakes. I have studied these wheels a lot and have a clear idea of what they look like

Marian · 2 Sept 2008, 09:12

After all they are of a concept car so they could be the way you made them...but they look flimsy even for modern wheels which use some what better techniques.
