Sizz, the fender curve was actually accomplished by lowering the door area slightly and bringing the line a bit higher over the wheel arch. I tried to the greatest extent not to interfere with the engineering aspects of the design. "plastic surgery", however it was intended, is actually a pretty accurate description of what I was doing
lol.
Thanks McCobra. Most of the work was done in Photoshop with some of the "fabrication" of parts and panels in Illustrator.
Don, many would like to see a set of real knockoffs on there , but I'm sure just mentioning putting them on a current car could get a designer 3 weeks in solitary.
Wind tunnel test results are good - I brought my fan right up to the screen and turned it on full blast; there was no sign of front end lift.

Brent from Shelby said he was going to show Carroll what we are doing here - I personally think it would be fantastic to hear his opinion along with some insights into his thoughts about a modern day Cobra and what priorities/objectives influence its design.
