looking pretty good so far... are you using image planes to reference with? as for polys go, i used to use them all the time, but i find that for making cars, it is easier to use nurbs, or sb d.

Could you post a smoothed JPG?
I´d like to see what you mean by crooked -and perhaps help if within my grasp-

I hope you didn't scrap the poly version, try subdivding it first:

edit poly> subdivide

then smoooth. Might keep you're shape a little better, but be careful, there will be alotta faces.....
