started on the interior doorpanels, this arent 100% correct, the reference pic i have doesnt show the full striped panel, so i made some drawings looking at the pics and some just using imagination:

magnet strips to maintain the door shut:

theese magnets strips arent that strong so later i will add another strip on the door instead of a metal piece

found the right tire thread, in the movie and specs of the car the rear tire is a little bigger than the front, but i will use same size tires

I love all hard work you have put into this build. This takes a lot of foresight. Everything is coming together great. I think a somewhat toned down version of the Riviera would make a cool, sinister street car. This is just a cool, sinister street car for a different kind of street.

Thanks for taking the time to post as you progress!
