looks good, looks fairly real. I wouldn't have "tinted" the windows so much, but even if that's your personal taste u should take care of the jagged lines around the windows. Also there's a jagged line at the bottom of the car. In terms of the rat rod theme, it looks good but you sacrifice the essence of the mini, i think you should've kept more of the original although being a rat rod, but once again it's a matter of opinion. Sorry for being too critical. It's a great chop, good luck in the contest!

It almost looks too pretty to be considered a rat rod and proportionately I would guess the motor is too small but I think you did a great job on it otherwise igor.

yeah, interesting xD ... like gualaka sayd, the windows r strange, too dark .. make some high-lighting to the top of windows, whit color chooser, take a sample of sky color, select each window, and brush that color to the top of them ... (like u made on the top of the side) .... one more thing ... make some refs on the side of the car, from the ground, and that back wheel must be reflected on the side ... hope u get it ...

Thanks for commenting on my work.
Windows are 2 dark because I spent I don't know how many time looking for a side windows donor, and I couldn't find it, so I just tinted it.
Thanks again.

dude that chop is awesome. I would be interesting to do in real life. I like the whole thing. i think the engine is proprtionate to the car, nice 6 cylinder it looks like. The shaodws under the car are great. Looks real. The door pillar is a lil jagged but were only human and cant be perfect about everything.
The things i would do personally would be is to change the decal on the car. Make it a solid color than transparent. I would have added a lil bit of smoke comming out of the exhaust too. That would look sweet if you added a lil smoke.
Great job, I like it!

oh i forgot to ask. whats the point of that tank on the front of the car, in general not the chop? Every rat rod i see has one. Is it a water holder?

Thanks, mate.
I wouldn't really know the point of it, just seen it on a lot of rat rods and decided to use it.
If anybody knows let's hear him.

Its a gas tank fellas.
Drag cars of the 50's and 60's used these.
Rat rods are throw backs to that era.
It enabled them to lighten the car up by removing the big heavy stock tank and give them enough gas to make a few runs down the drag strip.
Cars you see with them on the street are most likely using them only for looks not functionality.
