    Sally

    Mustang Sally. Think ya better slow your mustang down.
    '67 Mustang

    I love this render. The guy is just falling out over this girl singing. Mustang Sally song I have played and sang a million times in bands across America and over seas that I played in. It was on my song list. I used to take the song, and play the guitar riffs from the song "Jeopardy" from the Greg Kihn band (80s hit song). It fit perfectly and gave the song a really cool feel.

    Frankenstein's Wheels

    The FrankenKaddy is just the right size vehicle for the avid DIYer who needs to haul large boxes of parts around. The color scheme depicted is not recommended for those who need to gather their parts late at night.

    FrankenKaddy is another creation of David Swan aka Birdman.

    Too much fun Zatetic...hahaha.

    Latest one - and it was a real pain to convert. Model is from GT6, and when  converting ended up with the LOD meshes overlapping, horrendous material zones, etc. As an expample the taillight meshes were not visible, there was a really weird low LOD mesh that stuck through the mainmesh, but dleeting it opend up huge holes in other places.. took a fair bit of work in Simlab to correct.. Instrument textures were in .dds, but needed mirroring and rotating to work with the converted .obj, and even then were a pain as the dial faces were burried below two other surfaces

    SO.. 1960 Plymouth XNR - one off design by Virgil Exener as a sports roadster to add to the Plymouth line and possibly compete with the Ford Falcon and the Chevrolet Corvette.

    That's a cool looking concept car!  Sounds like a whole lot of work!

    Thanks. I find that the models from the Forza series convert a bit better but sometimes if its a model you want to use, its worth the effort

    I wanted to post this again because I am very proud of this car. I made this famous Monkee Mobile in Sketchup. I post it in memory of Davey Jones and Peter Tork.

    BMW  M-Coupe - anopther Forza car.. this one had a major flaw on conversion - a missing face/mesh, one that bridges the windshield base to the hood.. frorm certain angles it appears as a huge  gap, had to choose camera anlges carefully

    Latest work.. Base model is a really nice one from Terry Stonehocker over at Grabcad. Files were originally in .easm format, but Terry kindly enabled the .STL format export on those - loaded in eDrawings, then exported as .STL. Pulled into Simlab and tried a few exports, none of which worked well. Finally exported as an SKP, pulled into Sketchup,exploded the model as it came in as a single component, then eportred as .OBJ, finally imported into Bryce, and exported as another OBJ.. then imported into Daz, and went to town texturing..
