Cool Virtual 114

Well for any that remember me asking... I still haven't found any blueprints for a 70's 114 250.. I have some simple ortho views from a MB Safety booklet that should work well enough for now.

Anyway I have started with the Alloy rim.. not standard for this model but it's what I prefer. I may do the steel rim with hubcaps later. Now I need to do the rubbertread and start on the body.

Here's the alloyrim...

Maybe this is abit esoteric but what would a typical tire manufacturer for a car like this from the 70's?

Thanks.. I modelled it with Nurbs in Maya. I'm almost done with the tread. The tire brand is Arizonian.. anyway I could change that later. I'll post pics as I go along.
