Hey, maybe I can help, I just did a 57 chevy, and it wasn't to bad. 1st. bake the amount of cakes that you think you will need. I used 2- 11x15 and stacked them, icing in between the layers. I then found a picture and enlarged it to fit the cakes, cut the pic. out. Lay it on the top of the cake, and trim around it. There is your shape for the car.Then ice the cake. If you use fondant it will be easier, it will cover up any mistakes that you have made, also you can decorate it and make it resemble a car more. Anyway, get a few small cardboard pieces, stack them together, and wrap them with tape. You will need 2 sets, then place them at the wheel area, then place a wheel there, and you won't see the cardboard. For the wheels, use mini dough-nuts or cookies, cover them in fondant. If you do not know what fondant is, it is like play dough, but is edible, you can buy it or make it. Making it is very easy and tastier. Oh, make sure you have another cardboard the same size as your cake, and set your cake on it and then put the ones under it for the wheels and tires.I hope I have helped. You can go to www.cakecentral.com, they have all kinds of car cakes, forums, and people giving advice. You need to register, but it will only take a minute.

just call your nearest cake designer. Its way to hard too teach
that over the Internet. Search on goggle: birthday cakes /cars.
The only help I can give you is to try it by baking a bunch of cakes and cutting them in ways to form the pieces of the car. When get the shapes right, put them together with a little icing and then ice the whole cake.
first make the shape flat down on the cake make the cake walls and put a long thing in the cake and then put the frosting on but dont fully do it and then take it out carefully then do the same thing on the other side but it has to be a little curvy ant then keep doing that then do the top and put a curvy thing on gently on the top and do frosting and carefull take it off then get black frosting and color it in and enjoy good luck
Unless you're experienced and have the proper pans, then get in touch with a pro.
Make sure to make a cake stand that is white or covered in foil that the bottom support of the car goes on. This stand helps the car look like it has clearance for the wheels. Try using oreos for the wheels then pipe the spokes on. The base of the car is a simple rectangle slightly larger than your 1/2" tall cake stand. Build the cars roof/trunk (i.e. the top section of the car) with another rectangular cake. Take a serrated knife to shape the windshield and rear window. Be sure to frost the entire car; you can go back and repipe the windows to be a shiny silver. Use candies with the proper shape to be the lights, markers and spoiler if desired. Pipe frosting the correct color to cover the candies. In other words, the candies are just for the shape so cover up the transitions to the cake! Good luck and be creative!
You can use car cake pans, or you can bake a cake yourself and cut the cake to match the picture. You can also visit your local bakery, show them the picture and have them bake the perfect cake for you. For car cake pans visit http://www.fun-kid-birthday-cakes.com...
Contact your local bakery shop... Or contact any place that makes specialty cakes for weddings or whatever. Another idea is to see if there is a cake decorating course at the local college... ???
This is way to complicated for you to learn to do over the internet...
SEW good luck
