Ok, I started out modeling a audi, then I decided to make it my own. So ya, but I have run into some issues now, I left a little extra on each side so I can curve the body on the sides, but I am stuck on how to do this. I have been taking a 2 credit 3ds max class in highschool this school year, and this is for one of our lessons, I have to create a car that drives and responds to its environment.

If you can help, or give pointers, please let me know, everything on here was fully made by me:

We don't go by book, its mainly free style, or model off of pictures, although he gives us a project selection to choose from.
