Body Styling....

Here is my work in progress...



I am happy with the body from the windshield back, but I'm not sure about the front end. What does everyone here think? Any suggestions or ideas about something else I could do with it? Thanks in advance for any replies!

I think the front would look better with a curve where the grill meets the hood. soemthing like this

I think it fits the rest of the bodys curves a little better

I did this to it, smoothed the window opening, moved the trunk line up a tad, and messed with the door top. I moved the winshield back a bit because the window opening looked too big to me. You may like it like that though.
