Hi
I'm a cake decorator. .. I've been asked to create as close as posable a replica cake for of this car for a drag racer.....
I'm after some blue prints for both side panels front and rear of the LJ. Just so I don't miss anything and it works out all in perfect proportion.
I've been in contact with the Holden manufacturer and as the car is getting on in age they no longer keep such things and referred me to a car Club, so here I am. ...
Can anyone help me out or suggest an other Avenue ...
Thanks heaps hope to hear from someone soon :-)

Blue prints sound a bit excessive for a wedding cake. I would suggest plenty of photos from all angles and get them to scale for your measurements. I haven't heard of anyone having blueprints. Please post pictures of the finish cake here. Marty

Might be easier to pick up a scale model as above and design it based on this.

Get it close, by the time the cake comes out everyone is too pissed to perceive proportion !
