Yes I am with you now...you have the top nose matched up with the fender extensions...please take this as constructive criticism...Can you drop the front bumper a bit? to where it matches the artist's conception a bit more. Giving more reveal to the lower inner gray "grille" assembly and covering the lower front valence gap more. Splitting the difference would even the opening size for the "grille" and valence. Or do you have something else in the mix? I actually like it and I try and keep my cars mostly original. It doesn't look out of the realm of what a car sculptor would do when planning a new model nor does it look too modern where it doesnt match the rest of the car.

No worries, I'm always open to constructive criticism. I cannot lower the bumper because the top surface of the modified E Body bumper is almost right on the lower part of the grille, the bumper sort of swallows the grille. The bumper also serves to fill the gap below the grille. You can see in the 2 grille pics it is a late model Chally grille "cap" i've reinforced as a stand-alone grille and bows out from my cars relatively flat front considerably. Luckily the E body bumper angle was close to accommodating the bow, I only needed to close the bumper angle slightly. The E body lower valance was a relatively simple mod. and I love the gaping fish mouth comparatively. The left front pic of my car shows some work I did on the valance to close the valance/bumper gap more so it matched the right side, when doing this work I looked up E body car pics and found the gaps seem to be present from the factory albeit mine are a bit bigger.
