I love where this is heading and great drawings too. I'm also interested to know if and how you are planning on creating the kick and swoop on the door and wondered if the door frame could be cut down to create it.
Also John have you widened the track? as the pics look like you have or are they the standard fenders i'm looking at. I've re-read through the thread and it looks like OEM A arms are being used. Apologies for my ignorance.

HI all 
I absolutely positively LUV your sketches!!! Excelents vision is found when putting yourself inside something available. To be honest, if I were able to shape a car myself someday, you rear end sketch is exactily where to start for me. The Sesto is stellar in design. You just made it even greater than that. Like anyone I have a design going in what i'd like my car to look like, on paper. The rear-end is the place I was almost shying away from, waiting for when I had to cross that bridge I guess. I wanted to keep the roof of this Fiero a notchie, so the downward sloping angel of the notchie rear bumber was something I wanted to keep. Now I am not so sure anymore. lol... Always liked the idea of a notchie with a fastback rear bumper, even though it doesn't appeal to me all that well in construction. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder all the more accurate still today.
I do have one question. A back story to this question. Over at ARI's kitcar forum Ferrari kitcars hold probably the biggest collection of people putting willing to go that route. Eventually came an extended windshield so the kit would look all the more accurate. You had to modify the a-pillar, like your doing. Only something to figure out kept coming back up. The cold-air return, and someone said they figured this out. My question is two-fold. Did you figure yours out? Is it the same as funnywheels, his name at ARI's forum or madmechanics.com, or is your design another take at making a cold-air return work for your car? If you don't want to give that away right away that is fine, can totally understand. If you do, awesome, and sloping your front end to resemble a Lambo is jaw-dropping! I began to see that aerodynamic cool factor with the Diablo. Never though did I put it together with making the front of a car smaller in appearance with the larger rear. That part too, jaw-dropping!!!
Truly magnificent....

Oh man oh man can you write  pavo_roddy !
About the fresh air, (there's nothing to hide and no big secret) it's just on pause and we moved on.
We'll have to check this guy " funnywheels" out and thanks for the tip 
When we get to that point, we'll show you "what not to do"

Thanks and about that "kick and swoop" ...
I'll be raising window line about 1-1/2" higher at back and flowing down to front pillar, that's where its going to kick up (on pillar, not glass) to fender, it will give the same look ?
In this pic you're looking at standard fenders and door skin, the wide body parts are stripped off and waiting for the new design.
This is the Video exoticse send me that made RBS's eyes sparkle  (and wanted a makeover ever since)

Looks like it's all in hand, Kinda like a reverse chop with with more shaping. Standard fenders... right, it did get me thinking you had gone ultra wide for a moment. Not a budget upgrade I agree! Mmm now how about removing the rest of your trunk and exiting those tail pipes just under the rear wing?.. "Elemento my dear Watson"

That is one cool looking concept in that video. I like that guys vision. Even those rear "stabilizer fins" or whatever you want to call them remind of me a fighter jet. I like them! I know you're not obviously going to be making that exact concept, but I like where yours is headed too. It was already nice before you started chopping it up again. You have a lot of talent for bringing concepts to life, and your sketches look great too. Keep it up!

and said the proportions are way off on the sketches 
I did a sketch overlay on existing photo (should be a bit closer
