Doc_Brown Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Here is the 1971 ford GTHO WIP. Hope you guys like it. Any suggestions are welcome, particularly regarding the corners of the car, do you think its smooth enough, Cheers. Quote
UniverseBoy Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 looks amazing:) i like the mix of classic lego mixed wtih technic, maybe you can replace the 2 black flat front plates (1x2) with the pieces 54200 keep up the good work! Quote

skppo Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Which wheels are you going to use? It looks good. Will the roof be orange too? Quote
jantjeuh Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Looking good! Love the orange colour. Quote
timslegos Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Wow that bodywork is superb! I cant wait to see the rest. tim Quote
Rishab N Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Wow that looks spot on! Can't wait for more progress Quote
unimog123 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) That is like an exact replica. It is utterly beautiful. Can't wait to see the chassis. Oh, and how are you going to fit the tires in between the wheel well. Is it going to have raised suspension? Edited February 22, 2014 by unimog123 Quote
Hrafn Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Amazing! The only thing I might change is with the light gray parts. I would move the light gray 'cheese slopes' back 1 plate so they're flush with the trans-clear ones, and then maybe replace the gray plates that run along the top of the grill with 'plate, modified with door rail' if you have them. Right now the cheese slopes don't quite align with the plates. That's a tiny detail, though - this is easily some of the best bodywork I've ever seen in Lego! Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Like it? I love it, and I am looking forward to see the finished model (or at least next WIPs :D) What about the chassis? ;) Quote
Junpei Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen built out of technic. o.o I can't wait for more progress!! :D TLH Quote
Doc_Brown Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Thank you very much guys for the kind words! Definitely giving me some more motivation! :thumbup: Haven't started the chassis yet, been trying to solve the steering issues first. I want a nice "void" for the engine. the front steering will hopefully have neg caster and camber using the new parts. I will be using 62 mm wheels, and hopefully they will tuck inside the body work and wont look too bad, I think models of old cars can get away with this. I've made a roof, but have no idea yet how to connect it. I'm guessing i will need U-joints, because LBG 45 degree connectors are very rare and pricey. Amazing! The only thing I might change is with the light gray parts.

Right now the cheese slopes don't quite align with the plates. That's a tiny detail, though - this is easily some of the best bodywork I've ever seen in Lego! Thank you very much. I will do that! Dunno what I was thinking, lol. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Amazing that you have built such a beautiful body without a chassis... I don't think I could ever pull that off... Quote
