As much as I'd love to own many lenses, I find that renting is truly the next best thing. Once I rent that lens, the clock is ticking until I have to return it and I find myself looking for opportunities to use it to its best advantage, if I owned it, it might sit for weeks or months unused.

This is the reflector kit I am ordering
Renitng lenses is a great idea, I use borrowlenses.com and I love the variety that is available for Pentax.

My opinion about Modern body modifications aside, I think the model had the right look for the hot rod culture and hot rod pinups of today, which is usually not a recreation of the look, but an homage or a pastiche of retro and new. Your model has the right look and attitude to fit right into that style.
As for the photos, bravo! The colors are nice and bold which fits to the pin up style. The car and restaurant door as settings/props, were great choices for the most part.
The bike is incongruous, but if you don't try a prop you don't know if it will work for the shot or not, and you go with what you have on hand.
I also applaud you making the best of the lighting conditions, better than not taking photos at all, and I think the contrast was well balanced , did you use reflectors or flashes?
I think you got the DOF right for each shot, in some pictures, the models face is the centerpiece, it is clear and sharp and all else should be slightly OOF, but in the longer shot, leaning on the car and at teh restauratn door, those things are part of the overall shot, mood setting, as opposed to a modelling portfolio, so having more DOF in focus is the right choice.
Cool pix, and I'm biased because I love this style of photography, but your pictures really did come out very well.
