Don't get me wrong, the car looks GREAT and any issues I had would get tossed during production anyways (like hard to see gauges) but what happened to the 1969 Camaro styled front fender???

The front fender now looks like the new Mustang

I see more the '67 or '68 in the ridge line of the fenders, although the concept is a lot more angular.

The belt line down the center of the car is very similar to what the '67 - '68 had to offer. The belt line was broken half way down the car on the 69's... it was sort of a trailing edge extending from the fenders.

Yeah that is spot on to the chromed beltline on the 67-68. I LOVE how it merges with the beefed up quarters to make those big fender flares. Perfect coke bottle shape, the Mustnag and Challenger look very slab sided in comparison. I think the 69 style fenders would make a great mid production run update/restyle!
