i am looking for a picture of a 1970 chevy chevelly ss to use as a reference to scultp a cake. (or a 68, 69) one with the more rounded back. i searched the internet and couldnt really find one that was something i could use for the cake.
in a post about sculpting car cakes, it was mentioned to print out a picture, or sketch it, then cut it out and pin it to the side of your cake to give you the basic carve. but i cant find a picture that would suit this purpose.
anyone have any ideas on where i might could look?

my intentions were to use 2 9x13 mud cakes stacked on top of one another then carve a 68, 69 or 70 chevelle from it. (doesnt matter as long as it has the rounded off back) BUT, i got a little overwhelmed by the whole process, and my recipes i have for the mud cake i dont think will make a cake that would be tall anough for me to carve.

SO- i have the 3d car pan (shaped like a bug), do you think i can carve from this and make it into a chevelle? i want it to have the chevelle look so when you see, you know that is what it is.

i am looking at the pan right now, but i am not good when it comes to vizualizing the final product.
