Masterful Ron. One of my favorite cars. I owned a 68 Mustang for 34 years before I sold it. Also owned a Fox body Mustang Cobra. Great little cars. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this collection.
Ron I really like this new style you seem to be developing it works well.
Design is thinking made visual.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I seem to have hit a glass ceiling in my rendering. I keep trying to figure out how to improve some aspects of my drawings but can't figure them out. What I mean is, some aspects or parts of the drawing, here for example, don't look quite right. Take for instance the air scoop on the side of the car. It looks like it wa)s just stuck on there, not really a part of the car (I've toyed, for example with the feathering and shading quite a bit, but nothing seems to work for me). I've fiddled with things like this over and over, but I can't find the answer to make it look just right. If anyone has the answer or detailed suggestion on how to improve this I would be deeply appreciative.

Hi Ron,
Great drawing and details.
May I suggest using a linear transparency on your scoop object(s) so it blends in with the body toward the front of the car. Also a slight highlight on the outer lip of the scoop.

I think Bill's got a good idea there Ron. The highlight brings the scoop edge out and you probably want to reduce the scoop effect at the front of the scoop like Bill says. I don't know if you're trying to reproduce the original scoop, but if you are the scoop is bolted on to the body on those Mustangs. The body itself isn't concave under the scoop, it remains in the same plane as the rest of the side panel.
Looks good to me Ron...
Thanks Bill and Gray for the advice. However, on this particular car the scoop is not concave but convex, it sticks out away from the body. It's like the hood scoop, only on the side of the car. Hope that makes sense. Also, after looking at your rendition, Bill, I see now how mine looks, it looks concave instead of convex. I need to adjust that.
