Emanuel, I gotta say, I really love your concepts for your models! But I think if you get some more "model-appropriate" material, your final model would show your thoughts better. Cardboard is really difficult to work with. Try to find some styrene. Realtor signs are a good cheap source. And with that you will need a good sharp knife, plastic glue and a ruler. With a little practice I think your work will really shine.

I look forward to seeing your next new idea!

If you can find some 2-part epoxy, it works great for joining dissimiliar materials, such as plastic to metal.

BTW Emanuel, that car is available in plastic by more than one manufacturer. Both Revell, and Revell-Germany issued it, as well as Fujimi
