Maybe some of the comments are a little harsh,
But they have a point. Your chop looks 99% the same as the reference picture, you've even used the same wheels What is the point in this? The point of chopping is to create something unique of your own, not copy a photographer's work.
If all you wanted was practice at the brushing technique and fitting a few extra parts, then why do you not use the 'reference' as the base picture instead of wasting your time copying parts across the base to make it look identical to the donor and then overbrushing.
It not only waste's your time, but it will make a lot of people think that you have brushed from nothing and built it up, rather than what you actually did - just recolouring pixel for pixel, a photograph.
All we ask is that you think about what you post as the base image, and whether it's really worth calling it that. Be honest to yourself and decide which would be the better base image to begin with, considering the final outcome that you want
Just a warning for future reference.
Try and use lots of reference for brushing, if possible from different cars at different angles - then you make something entirely new

The same rules should apply for brushing reference
Good luck
