Use the real dashboard views
Farland’s gallery provides dashboard, steering-wheel, console and seat views. Record the instrument arrangement and upholstery seams before modeling. The photograph’s restoration state should remain visible in the source description.
Options change the reference
The BaT archive lists a tilt-away wheel, tachometer, radio and folding rear-seat option. Canepa’s Saddle interior is a different color configuration. Do not present a collage of attractive details from several vehicles as one factory-correct cabin.
A useful modeling checklist
Capture the dashboard straight-on, steering wheel, console, shifter, front seat profile, rear seat and door cards. Separate those observable forms from unmeasured seat frames, wiring and fasteners.
