This build came out so perfect it's ridiculous. What a ton of beautiful work put to a spectacular finish and end result. I've gotta be a tad bit nit picky and say that the only things I'm not digging is the ground effects, and billet steering wheel. But those are just personal preference. Overall the car is perfect and amazing. Great work! I'm sure you've already got other projects in the works, or are itching to get into something else. Although there's no feeling that can replace finishing up a build like this monster. Keep it up! You're an artist.

I just love the way the cowl and hood blend together.
Edit... it's been so long, I forgot about the shaved door handles and gas filler. Where did you put the filler again?
It sits on the ends of the subframe connectors, the filler is in the same place just with a custom cap
Thanks

I generally dislike bagged vehicles....but I must say that you did one hell of a job. The amount of work and skill is evident over every inch of your car. Anyone who can't at least respect the work and skill is a total fool. Amazing car.

Im in the samme boat as alot of these guys, do i like bagged and slammed cars? No would i ever do this to one or drive one? No but damn that car is a work of art, gorgeous paint amazing attention to detail, amazing craftsmanship and i'm utterly speachless thinking about how much work you put into it, whether i like the style or not bottom line is it is a beautiful machine and you sir are an artist that the likes of da vinci would envy

I think it looks fantastic! I love the color scheme and detail work. When I was in college I worked in a custom shop about 10 years ago building bagged mini trucks and this is much cleaner and better put together than anything that ever rolled out of that shop. Enjoy it for a while now!

I saw it at that show and my jaw hit the floor when I walked into the convention center. I hadn't seen any real updates for a couple months and then, BAM! Its done and right in front of me. It is FLAWLESS.
