This thing was ridiculous. The sides were like glass; not a ripple, wave, irregularity or anything. When people say laser straight this is it.

I'll post more pics of some other cars later this weekend. That truck was part of the group of vehicles that were contenders for the riddler award. Until you see these things in person it's hard to fathom how perfect they are. The metal work is beyond anything most people could ever imagine. Fabrication to perfection that will blow your mind. Ultimately, not one single piece left alone.

When you have such a nice vehicle with a lot of time & money spent on it, then your afraid to drive for fear of getting damage or park it any where.

Seems like a waste sometimes. Its like having a new born baby. You can't trust any body near or touching it. Just stand back and look ok!

It never seems to fail, theirs always someone who wants to key it just for meanness.
Or park their piece of junk vehicle right next to it and slam their vehicle door into the side door with out getting it a second thought.

It's definitely a museum piece. I've seen stuff like this before in trade shows where craftsmen keep trying to one-up each other way beyond any practical purpose.

My truck is kind of the opposite: rough around the edges, but I can drive it around town without worrying too much about the occasional scratch.
