Oh ya, I forgot I started on the Inlet Manifold also, but I still have tons of work left to do on it.
Here's a peak so far:

Man, this is insane! Awesome work.

[R0cky103]

Update, still working on the inlet manifold.

I'm stunned once again.

One critic however about your copper shader : it need some brushed texture to show anisotropic.

[R0cky103]

Ill see what i can do to improve the copper material.

Here's some cool renders:

great looking car. amazing attention to detail. what more can we ask.

[janusz_the_maker]

You're doing uber awesome job man. Materials are so inspiring.
About your copper colour, it should be more "golden"

[Silent][Moebius]

wow everytime someone models a car from scratch like this it's just something incredible to watch grow and take shape.

i wish the best of luck with this project you have one hell of a ride in front of you still

[R0cky103]

R0cky103, your renders looks so classy. Just like professional old school technical illustrations.
Would you mind describing the render settings with details like light type, multi, kind of shadow etc? Sorry if you have already, the thread is extensive and i may have missed it.

Hey Dan, thanks for the comment and I will do my best to explain my render setup.

For my Engine Renders Im basically using 3 VRayLights, one on each side of the model and one in front.
The settings I change on each light are as follows:

1.Main light: (this is the light that is cast on the visual side of the model)
Type: Plane
Color: Is sunlight yellow (RGB 254,231,190)
Intesity Multiplier: 4.0
All other setting staying default settings making sure cast shadows is checked

2. Far light: (this is the light on the opisit side)
Type: Plane
Color: Pure White
Intesity Multiplier: 6.0
All other setting staying default settings making sure cast shadows is checked

3. Front Light:
Type: Plane
Color: Is sunlight yellow (RGB 254,231,190) or Pure White depending on the Render
Intesity Multiplier: 3.0
All other setting staying default settings making sure cast shadows is checked

Im not using a backgroud or a plane in these renders just the defualt black space
