I appreciate the feedback everyone!
This is an alternate version. After struggling with trying to come up with a good design for the rear of the car I realized the side styling at the back was causing me too much hassle so I revised the side styling which is reflected in these snapshots. I also took note of the observation about rear passenger room and raised the roof a full inch. I did more work on the front too.
By the way, this color is my attempt to recreate a color from the 60's. My best friend in high school had a 1967 SS350 in a beautiful champagne metallic color which I've tried to reproduce here.
On the subject of colors, I call this one Astro Red. It does a nice job of showing off the contours of the car. For those of you who are Chevy history fans, I got the idea for this from the Chevy Astro 1 concept car.
Certain colors really pop on this style; I call this one Raging Pumpkin.
This shape just doesn't like the dark colors unfortunately. I tried gloss black and other dark colors but the styling details tend to just disappear. However a burgundy metallic does look pretty nice.
Keep in mind this shape as it is right now is a clean, pure shape without any aero pieces attached. Adding a front and rear spoiler along with a hood bulge will give it a much more aggressive look. I'll add those elements later but at the moment I'm concentrating on getting the basic shape right so if it doesn't look "muscular" enough or the car seems a bit conservative, stay tuned for updates to the look.
Thanks again to everyone viewing and participating!
