I like the slope of the lid. One thing bothers me... since everything else flows so well, how about changing the B pillars to reflect the angle of the windshield posts.

RodBurNer: I was thinking about this.. why not, but the rest of the car is glued..so if I open the trunk, won't it be strange? Jondtuch 46: Could you show me the B pillar...to see where the modification will be done? Many thanks for your comments...

Jondtuch 46: Could you show me the B pillar...to see where the modification will be done? Many thanks for your comments... The "B" pillar is the rear post of the roof. Right now, it has two vertical lines at different angles... neither of which matches the angle of the windshield post. You've created what's there now... why not redo them to make them match the angle of the windshield post. Thin 'em out just a bit so they don't get too heavy. After all, you've created a non existant vehicle already... why not make the pillars work with the rest.

I think the leading edge by the door is what's being referred to that is out of sync. And I agree, except that that is a sure point of keeping the vehicle's original identity, if that's any concern.
