S30 in 3d

[INST3D]

Hi all!!I was making a 280z in 3d,so I get stuck on these:

Didn't find any references in google,so that's why I here.So tell me please,are there 2 or 3 holes?If you give me a photo that would be just perfect.

Thanks,here's the progress

I know that's not much but....I'll be doing it in my free time

Looks like your cad reference drawing is a 240, no battering rams where the bumpers are and it cas cowl corner lamp housings. Looks cool.

Are you using subdivition surfaces?

This is what my 240Z looks like in that area- MFR date Jan 1970.

Service book is for 280z

That's obvious poly modelling

I'm not sure that I'll be doing mid-poly(will also be able to make a template easilly) or high-poly(template difficult to make,but car will look smoother),still thinking.

Here's some new progress...So I decided that this thread will be a WIP(work in progress)

And again I need your help.....anyone has a photo of this part??(desirable without wheel)

Not sure I am the guy to take the picture but for clarification, would you prefer a picture that is end on to the center of the brake drum? Would it be better to have the car weight on the brake drum so the angle of the suspension in the picture looks like it does when the car is on the road? I am glad to see someone working on a 3D model.

I will be happy to see any reference,so post them,because every reference can help in the process.With the previous post I meant I wanted to see how the hole for strut is made.

It's fuel pipe right?

Here some new progress....the "X" and the transitioning into back.Also a wireframe

Here are a few views of the spring hole. It is rather close to the spring to see a lot of it though. It might be easier to see if someone has a picture from the inside of the car with the cross hatched vinyl removed.

Also a bit progress...I'll move the "extra wheel"hole to the side when will be making assymetry

Started to make the bottom.Also decided it will be high poly,because it looks better.

Will fix the heigh differences on the bottom.

Ye the wheel hole on 2 last pictures.....fixed.

I'm leaving soon.....so don't know if I would be able to work on it or not, return on 22-23 of august.......Maybe will try to start to make engine in autodesk inventor.
