if you want i can send you 3d model of 427 body-shell to support your project
please find below my 3d work that i've done 12 years ago for 427 chassis
please keep up updated

To Moderators;
i thought that we should move this thread to "models" section of the forum
with changing subject to more meaningful like "scratch built 1/8 scale 427"

Thanks Ozgur,
I have viewed your photos and build thread and would appreciate any support you can give me. I have realized that shaping the body by hand to make it look like it should is harder than I thought. Little mis-shapes can throw the whole thing out of whack. And proportions are critical to getting the shape to look correct. I had noticed the "perky butt" look of the rear and will address it before I claim the body shape is done, but a 3d model would help, most definitely. I have been using the photos on the Kirkham site alot and I have the old mpc 1/16th scale 427 kit, but who knows how accurate that shape is or isn't. I also have accumulated a lot of photo reference, but again, it's 2 dimensional. So again I say, if you have help for me, I will gladly listen.
Also, I agree that this thread should be towed to the models section, as you have suggested or I could start a new thread and leave this one here to direct views to the new thread. I'll let the mods decide...
