This one I worked on the head lights some.
This is also one piece rather than 2.

This is really starting to come together. I suggest you model 'till you
drop and then go for some cool paint effects. Thanks for posting!

Really good looking! Wether or not the "one piece" solution is an
improvement, I can't judge from this angle. But you got the front lights
improved; now they look much better! The reason you're using Rhino, is (I
assume) that you're planning to produce this car.. It would be an
innovation. ;o)

Seems like you should be able to see through some glass to the glowing
bulbs?
Also in a manufacture process this shape probably should be made in
sections? It would be hard to make in one big mould.
But it looks damned good anyway.. :)

If I was ever to build this car at the moment with my current knowledge I
would build it out of a polyurethane foam core covered in Kevlar with cabin
fiber internal ribbing. You shape the foam to the primary form of the car.
Then carve ribs into the foam based on computer engineered strength
requirements. The carbine fiber is then composite into the ribs. A layer of
carbine fiber may have to cover the whole car also. Then the Kevlar is added
to the whole car. Once this is complete the required panels and hatches are
cut out and hinged into place.
There is not a bulb yet in the light. The light cover is transparent and the
dome back is reflective but there is not any illumination. It looks lit but
that is just reflection.
My idea is to create limited number automobiles. I just do not see why I
would buy a car that anyone else could buy and then think that some how I
have a better car than anyone else. The mustang I buy is no faster or better
than any one else's mustang. But if I build a car from scratch or buy a one
of a kind then I truly can state my car is better than yours. It is truly
all subjective anyway but at least I know mine is different. I do not know
the time line for this but it will happen.
I have it animated. I will put it on p.b.a

If you buy me a mustang, I'll promise to drive slower than you....
