How does this look guys?

Hi Gene,

my compliment on the work, I know how its smells ( mostly my wife and kids are not enthousiastic when I do such restores )
about the shape ,take a good look at the pictures of the original. You made the lines straight but they should be lightly curved, I think if you can fix that It will be perfect.
