Hi Dalboy, thanks for comment. I actually started this build in start of April this year. Been on and off this build few times.
I'd say in total I have spent about 150h so far on this build. Detailed dashboard on its own took about 20h to get that far.
As I don't have much experience [now I have some LOL ] I learn along the way and that takes time.

fenders,wheels,chassis and space for it
Decided to do some work on fenders to give more look to the car
so shape cut out of pine wood as it is soft, flexible and perfect for the job
glued in place
and sanded
the rest of fenders done as well, looking good, need to shape a bit more when wheels will be in place
next, will try to make wheels now, center pieces will go in sometime after
as I don't have lathe wood turning thing improvising with my DREMEL tool, carving is even done without support stand, everything done by free hand in air with very tiny carving tool
pay attention to wheel, looking good
only 2 turned out well as other two has to be wider and a bit bigger for the back

fenders,wheels,chassis and space for it
so, tried to come up with chassis that would be similar to real car. It would be easier to make normal one as for all cars, but felt right to make
one as close as possible to real one....this was my first try
rough plan drawn up
now, this is what I achieved
wasn't happy with it, so destroyed it after 2 days work
this is how first attempt ended
