            Fantastic modelling and attention to detail. Some of the modelling looks like the sort of thing you would normally expect to be done with the likes of SolidWorks.

              Thanks everyone.

              Hey David, noticed that tomorrow is your three-year anniversary here at Sketchucation. Is there gonna be a party?

                    You're welcome, but I'm certainly nobody's "hero" (I barely qualify as "human" πŸ˜’ ). Yes, the '56 is one fine car. I love the styling, the simple lines, it just all pulls together to make one the classiest classics around. I like a lot of things about the '55 too (especially the big rear wheel openings on the Nomad), but given a choice I'll go with the '56 every time.

                      Can I see wires of the front suspension? Turn off textures (monchrome mode) and turn on hidden geometry. Would love to see the topo

                          Had to go thru it first and delete a BUNCH of hidden boxes. (I attach small hidden boxes to each odd-shaped component to make it easier to rotate and position them) Looked really weird with all them showing. Looks weird now too.

                          Don't look at it too closely, there's still a lot of work to be done.

                          If you wanted to see something else just let me know.

                              It's very easy to see what a talented and skilled modeler you are. And I have fond memories of the '55's, '56's and '57's, and you have done these justice.

                              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                    Thanks. I hate showing my hidden lines, makes it all too obvious that there is no method to my madness. With me it's whatever works. The way I look at it, if God had intended for my hidden lines to be shown, He wouldn't have let me hide them in the first place.

                                          Dude, this is impressive to say at least!!!

                                          Such smooth surfaces and detailed parts without using a tool as Asrtisan is proof of a great modeler!
                                          I take my hat of for you sir πŸ˜‰

                                          I'm not that much into american (classic) cars, but you are making me a fan πŸ˜„
                                          Can't wait to see the progress!

                                          Keep up the awesome work!

                                            Thanks for the kind words.

                                            Actually I recently discovered a couple of inaccuracies in the crossmember, and correcting those sort of snowballed into other parts. So I am basically having to redo everything to get it right. Making pretty good progress, but the real test will come when I show it to the members of TriFive.com to get their input. They are the ultimate experts in anything to do with classic Chevys, and I've got this feeling that they are going to tear it apart. But hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be fun πŸ˜„
