Description Retrochrome is based on concept EFIJY by Holden, although it is not an accurate rendintion of the real vehicle as some features are missing (eg the Holden logo ornament on the front of the hood). An extraordinary concept from the Australian manufacturer, which, in my opinion, is the perfect definition of the words retro muscle!

It took me 40+ hours to complete, the linework was done in Illustrator and the rest of the torture was accomplished in Photoshop!

Enjoy

Following the honest observations of mr. Ogghunter (see below) I've edited some of the 'horrible' horizon reflections on the body and it kinda looks much smoother now. Many thanks to Ogghunter for his constructive remarks!

I think that the lines could have been much better, if you hadn't used illustrator.
You forgot to mention the 600bhp 5.7L V8 Supercharged Chevy engine

I'm about to fix this. Thanks for the input, most appreciated!
