Classic 1960 MGA

Hey all,
Well its been a while since I’ve started a new car model, so just wanted to let everyone see what I’m working on. It's a classic 1960 phase I MGA, this and the 3000 Austin Healey are two of my favorite classic sports cars. I actually have a 65 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII in my basement that I currently am restoring. But anyways on to the model.

As I said I’m modeling the MGA, as simple a design this car is I was surprised at how tough it was getting the classic curved fenders to look right, and I’m still tweaking them just a bit. Right now the grill is in its basic shape and I haven't really worked all that much on it so there is much more work left to be done on it. Head lights and turn signals are pretty much complete besides so minor tweaking. I plan to model the standard rims that came on the car when purchased back in 1960, but I also plan to do some wire wheels as well, but that may take some time.

So here's what I have so far, let me know what you think. Suggestions and comments are always welcome.

Small update on the grill, cleaned it up a bit and added the MG logo bracket.
The MG decal is just a place marker right now, so it looks a little toonish.

Also added some bullet style fender mirrors.

Here is an update of the door and rear side panels. The rear panel like the front panel was a little tough to get looking right, but i think i've pretty much got it now.

Sorry about the black artifacts on the render, just doing quick renders right now.

Anyways let me know what you think.
