Looks like a good start, but you need to weld together those loose polygons! The car looks *ahem* horrible *ahem* if it has those cracks in it...

Good job tho... :)

well actually the normals ARE wrong, but that's not what's causing the problems.

Your door dummies are in the wrong place, they need to be at the point you want the door to hinge, not the middle of the door panel. Shift them forward and the doors should open ok.

Yeah azz is right.

BTW, Normals are what determine how the car looks when light is shone on the car. You have 1 normal for every vertice. The normal protudes out of the vertice. This is how correct normals will look like:

I take it the rear are suicide doors?

I've never tried it myself, though there was talk of someone getting gull wings to work fine, so I can't see why the same theory couldn't be applied here.

I'm still trying to find that email someone sent me explaining how to do gullwings. it's around somewhere. honest..
