Propelling that car would be like trying to shove a massive refrigerator through the air. The fascia needs a little bit of curve. I wouldn't really call it a design feature, like you seem to. And it's the same thing, just 2 complete fascias stacked on top of each other. You should at least blend them together somehow.

 

What I think might look ok while keeping the same overall design would be to simply get rid of the flatness.
Lets say move the top set of headlights rearwards slightly so they are almost recessed within the fender a very small amount, then do the same with the lower lights but slightly more than the top set. Angle the grill while you're at it and then add a bumper as gabester says.

 

I like the way my car looks like, and the bumper thing ill try to design one.

UPDATE: Chassis added and brake drums added.

It's your car, you can make it the way you want
I'm glad you'll at least try and make a bumper though, should make it look less flat.

Do you think the interior shall be the last thing to be modeled?
Ill get some ideas of the bumper from the bruckell moonhawk because it makes me think that Moon well is Moon hawk's brother.

 

Leaf suspension in the front? Why not coils all around, or at least on the front?

 

That's what we Filipinos do, we put leaf on both rear and front, i seem to like the style.

Can't do this alone gimmie some bumper suggestions!

 

The bumper being attached to the chassis rails like a real bumper would be a good start. Bumpers are there to protect the bodywork in light impacts like you find in cities. and it can't do that if its bolted onto the very thing its trying to direct force away from.

@ Pontiac: I like your overall idea of your car. V8, rear wheel drive, sedan, streotypical 70's american automobile size , but i dont think people are really 'diggin' the front end daddy yo'. Your car sorta resembles the Cavallaro from Saints Row. I think some of these pics will be good inspiration toward your overall design. You can keep the original front end, but then have different grills and front ends like these as mod or 'trim' choices. It's up to you though in the end .

 

I have been working a bit on getting Perryville polished up. The current release is far too bare-bones for me to feel too comfortable with. So, I now have:

A monument, complete with needlessly detailed statue and plaque,

a couple more buildings, plus business names and a block organization that actually makes sense in reference to reality,

a markedly incomplete bridge, missing only the central span,

and some newfangled time-of-day support.

Oh, and uh, Arrrr! Have ye a pleasant Talk Like a Pirate Day!

 

Its not 70's my Moon well is from the 60's but thanks for the reference.

 

I respect that it's your car and all, but pretty much everything on this car isn't correct for the era :\
Even structurally, it's strange. Leafs in the rear and front, a bumper that bolts into the bottom of the fascia.

 

Lol ohh opps sorry about that. Im glad you took interest in the reference pics.

 

Its not strange that leafs springs are in the rear and front, in the 50's cars had both front and rear leaf springs, my grandfather said that to me cause he used to have a car that had leaf springs in the front and rear. And the bumper i don't think a bumper suits for this car cause this car wasn't designed to have a bumper sorry to say because the body work wasn't mean to have a bumper, but i will try to design a bumper for it, if i can't make a good bumper for it then it will remain without a bumper.

 

I thought it was mostly the really old cars (Pre 40s) and big cars/trucks that had all around leafs.

 

New rear, wanted to be original.

Cars in the 50s have nothing to do with your 1970s "1960s" car, even if that is true.
And I'm not sure why you'd design a car without a bumper. Just find a way to attach it to the frame and it'll be fine. You could put a gap in between the top and bottom fascias and put it in there so it lines up with the frame. Just an idea.
But yeah, it's official, this car has 2 fascias.

 

Because i was young and i didn't knew much about cars?

 

Doesn't mean you can't find a way to work one in now.
