Very pretty!

Did you model this after a particular full-size car? I note you modified the hood vents and removed one set of tail lights.

Every Cheetah I've ever seen has had just two Sting Ray tail lights, including the original metal-bodied prototype the fiberglass molds were pulled from.  Will never forget seeing one in street use in the late '60s.  It was westbound on 17th Street in Santa Ana, at the Main Street stoplight. The light turned green and away it went, driven decorously.
