Camaro 4th Gen WIP

I started modeling a 4th-generation Chevy Camaro. It’ll end up as a convertible 1997 30th Anniversary SS, but for now I’m just trying to get the body shape correct for shrinkwrapping the panels later. It’s trickier than I thought, and it’s hard to find quality technical drawings so I’m mostly using photographs. For whatever reason, there seem to be a lot more technical drawings for every other generation of Camaro except 4th:

I also modeled the rim/tire:

It’s moving slowly, but I got tired of the rear suspension and started working on the engine a bit.

Worked on alternator, optispark distributor, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. did a quick material test because I was tired of plain white. Still tons to do!
