Car body detail improvement

Let's further shape the car.

[Mesh] → [Vertex] → Mouse middle button (Add middle vertex)
Then, hit the points that divide the car into 4 parts on the X axis one after another as shown in the figure below (Figure 3-65). However, please note that the bottom is not divided into four equal parts.

Figure 3-65 Strike the vehicle into four equal parts along the X axis

[Mesh] → [Edge] → Left mouse button (Add ONE edge)
Then connect the dots. Finally, it should be as shown in the figure below (Figure 3-66).

Figure 3-66 Results of dividing the car body into four equal parts along the X axis

Set all the points enclosed in the figure below to TAG (Figure 3-67). (Enclose with "T" key + left mouse button )

Check that it is in TAG mode, and
Select [TransZ] and move appropriately in the + Z direction (Figure 3-68).

After moving, remove TAG (enclose with "T" key + right mouse button ).

Set the point in the figure below to TAG (Figure 3-69).

Also check that it is in TAG mode,
Select [TransZ] and move appropriately in the + Z direction (Figure 3-70).

Remove TAG when finished.

Next, on the hood of the car,
[Mesh] → [Vertex] → Mouse middle button (Add middle vertex)
Please hit the middle point (7 places in total). Then connect those points.
[Mesh] → [Edge] → Left mouse button (Add ONE edge)

Including the pentagon prevention as shown below (Figure 3-71).

Figure 3-71 Make the hood part dense

Set all the middle points (12 points) enclosed in the figure below to TAG (enclose with "T" key + left mouse button ) (Figure 3-72).

Select [TransY] to move in the -Y direction (Figure 3-73).

Figure 3-73 Lower the front upper part of the bonnet

When finished, remove the TAG and set the bonnet center top point (7 points) to TAG (Figure 3-74).

Figure 3-74 Attaching a TAG to the upper center of the bonnet

Select [TransY] to move in the -Y direction only slightly (Figure 3-75).

Figure 3-75 Lower the upper center of the bonnet

When finished, remove the TAG and change the points in the figure below to TAG (10 points on the front and upper center of the bonnet) (Figure 3-76).

Figure 3-76 TAG on both sides of front and upper center of bonnet

Select [TransY] to move in the -Y direction (Figure 3-77).

Fig. 3-77 Lower both sides of bonnet front and upper center

When finished, remove the TAG and set the front center point (12 points) to TAG (Figure 3-78).

Figure 3-78 Attaching TAG to the front center

Select [TransZ] and move appropriately in the + Z direction. (Figure 3-79).

When finished, remove the TAG, and finally change the point in the figure below to TAG (Figure 3-80).
(6 points at the center bottom of the windshield)

After that, you can try making bumpers, etc. using the techniques you have remembered.
