I had no idea his Wife had passed away. I'm very sorry to hear this.

Constructive criticism is not hating. That's childish. It helps him get it right the next time. The design work does not impress me at all, BUT the people that did the body work
DO impress me; Good work on this !

The Design:

I had thought about the louvering of the fender tops [many have] on my project
and now that i see them I'm glad i didn't.

The way to get the louvered fenders right; would be to louver them the way a 930 slant nose is louvered, so that the outline of the fender is not changed and it is subtle.
Subtle is way cooler.

The Zagato roof line was intended for more head room but least amount of frontal area. This was recessing the inner section, unlike on the 911 trunk lids, the recess serves 2 functions [stiffen lid + cabin air] It serves no function at all. But again nice body work [black is toughest btw, got to be perfect] The thing about classic Porsche design that i love is that function came before fashion ALWAYS.

IMHO:
It doesn't have that classic Porsche Less Is More quality. Overdone.
