caiman0637 Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Oh, wow! This looks amazing, and excellent stickers! Quote
RoscoPC Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Very nice job: I would just increase the length of the central section, including doors and roof, by a couple of studs (and wheelbase as a consequence). Quote

Huh, that I did not expect that, I find the wheelbase already long-ish. If I assume the width of the car is 190 cm (74.8''), at 16 studs wide 1 stud = 11.8cm. The wheelbase is 22 studs, so that gives the car a wheelbase of 260cm (102''). Now I checked the specs of some front engine sports cars , the Dodge Viper GTS has a wheelbase of 244cm, the Toyota Supra MK5 261cm, the Lister Storm GT (proper Racecar) 259cm - so my car is right in there, if not on the longer side.

I got your point, and the wheelbase might be ok. My only concern is mostly focused on limited length of the side window: it seems difficult if not impossible to enter, and maybe this is due to the 6x2 wedges (but I have no suggestion here, because the 4x2 wouldn't match the rear slope) and the front windscreen (did you try to move it 1 stud to the front?).
