I just realized that the PDF for the Dark Red/Silver '86 was done on letter paper, instead of a size that also works for A4. It's been corrected now, my apologies if it caused anyone trouble. I also updated the PDF for KARR with the new wheel wells. Two down... a bunch to go!

It looks a little more flush with the quarter panel than the original. Plus there is a conspicuous seem at the bottom

I don't think it's ugly (Vista Cruiser fan

), just not as flashy as the hatchback. But it looks simple enough; I could probably add that without even changing the original mesh. Simply delete the back glass in Inkscape and replace it with a slightly angled, 4-sided rectangle and some tabs...

I didn't think it was that bad either. The tapered back glass helps. The extra stowage and access was handy, even if the glass only went up to shoulder height. I wouldn't do that to my car, if I had one, but I can see why someone would do it.

I'd be too embarrassed. the one in that pic, I believe, was one of the 2 that Pontiac made for the car shows. I think I read that somewhere.

Not a paper update, but my Mom just got a Firebird (the one on the left, she took this picture too)

I suppose I'll have to make her a paper one to put on her dash

She's a die-hard Oldsmobile collector, so I guess my diabolical plan must be working

And I just brought home a 3rd one... okay, time to stop bringing cars home!

Lol

I might try to sell the '83 but I don't think you would want a rolling chassis :P Or I'll use it as a prototype, I'm not really sure yet... I'd hate to sell it only to see it scrapped or used as a demolition derby car
