Mos tof the modelling has been done in SU 6 - with some touch ups/adjustments in SU 13

You are on the right path, don't get drown at the shore.
I have retouched the shape overall and made it compatible with SubD.
About an hour and a half worked on it(it still needs a couple of touches here and there).. boy I miss car modeling !!

wow
I've downloaded your file posted on the SubD chat.http://sketchucation.com/forums/download/file.php?id=137307
I am curious,
for the front wheel to fender transition you carried the wheel flare loop all the way across under the front to the other wheel.
is that a deliberate mesh strategy.The rear hip line has a nice flow.

Elisei, nicely done Sir, quite brilliant in fact.

For reference , there a number of photos of wooden bucks there were supposedly originally used to hammer out aluminium skins for these bodies.

Looking closer at these wooden bucks , and you can see the 'Quads" all over the place!

I have a set of technical drawing for the seat frame and some photos, so I had a go at modelling up frame and seat pan.
-
Looking forward to seeing where this will go!

Lots of cool historical car stuff on this thread, but as a woodworker I find these wooden bucks even more compelling as pieces of art than the (gorgeous) auto body that was hammered out on top of them!
