thanks, i think it took 4-6 months, whilst taking my time. What I did was, i tried my best to align a photo with the viewport and started from there. I had a top and side view blueprint to help me. But try your best to make reference points as to where things are since photos can throw you off. I started with the door since it was the easiest part and it motivated me to continue on. My first attempt was beginning on the roof but i totally lost motivation. However I came back and was easy! I used multiple photos as well. So far instance, you can set up 2 viewports to align with 2 different photos. So that when you're modeling, you can check if it makes sense in both viewports. I think the hardest part was just having the motivation to start modeling everyday.

As for the stitches, I created a macaroni shape. Then I would take the dash for example, collapse the mesh while with turbosmooth on. I used the edge tool and pressed loop to all the edges i want to use stitches on. The reason we want to collapse the mesh is so that the stitches are nice and smooth. After selecting those edges, press create shape, which will then create a path so that we can put our stitches on. Using the spacing tool, just pick the path and voila! You might have to do some adjustments though. Make sure the pivot point of your macaroni is in the middle. I dunno, i might do some visual tutorials and post it here

Anyway, i didn't spend too much time explaining because it might take awhile to model. If you have blueprints though, have at it! Which reminds me, I need to make some renders of this interior

Tnx for the detailed elaboration . The problem with making interiors is that there are only blueprints for the exterior of the car. And as you said the photos don't make much of a reference.

what object should I put as refence object for the spacing tool?
I'd like to see the mapped version of this render .
