Another thought, Sergio. The wheel covers are too small. There is too much black between the wheel covers and the thin whitewalls. Please consider making the wheels and/or wheelcovers (i.e, hubcaps) larger, so that the distance between the chrome wheelcovers and the narrow whitewalls is smaller. Otherwise, great effort!

Sergio, i used to sell these and pardon me for the suggestion:

That round gas cap was more flush to the body. And when closed in the right position the handle line was horizontal. And it was all body color I think. I hope this is not a big deal that re-makes the whole body. But it just stuck right out to me. I didn't even notice the size of the wheel covers.

Im thinking that it is not the diameter of the wheel covers but rather the size of the tire; in particular the distance of the whitewall stripe from the wheel rim????

+1 agree about the flush gas cap and horizontal line. I do appreciate that these pics are early renditions however. In general I think this model will be a smash success when details are perfected.

I never really looked at the Chevy Nova, so I turned to pictures. (PICs)

I think your interpretation looks good, Sergio. I wish you good fortune in its reception.

Agreed ... but if the color of the steel wheel (body color) is shown the entire wheel would look much more realistic.
