from your threads i can see there isnt much difference in the way we create our meshes(and skill) but i had lots of help on www.3d-palace.com and smcars.net
i think you just need to iron out your mesh and finish your models user added image

and i can email you some tutorials that i have if you want

so did a quick render

I know these renders are tests but the lighting is creating some pretty big hotspots and dark areas. The headlights need some shaping I think, I see a seam at the front middle of the hood and at the top middle of the windshield needs a tweak because its not blending.

Definite improvement! A few odd areas still but you said you were still in the cleaning up process.

a couple more tweaks and you'll be cooking with gas...

some crits would be, some edges may need a bit of tweaking, the wheels could use some tread on them and windows seem too plain.
