Thanks for the kind comments, guys. 
I think that sites like this are one of the few places where we can show the effort which we put into our work. After it's on the layout (or on the shelf or in a display cabinet), few observers would even notice, or care, that it's likely a one-of-a-kind item. That's not to say, of course, that no one else could do the same, but each version would be particular to its creator.
This particular car is a pretty slow job - I have a vision of it and a plan to achieve that vision, but I keep noticing details in the prototype photos which I missed on previous viewings. Last night, I had to modify the sidesills and, with that done, today they can then be modified again to better-match the pictures. Some things, though, are either not clearly shown or are beyond my skills. I'll have to wait until it's finished to see if my methods are viable or only a learning experience on what-not-to-do.
