Christmas it definitely is!
I'm using a Canon XTI. Just got a new Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens for it yesterday.
Loving the lens so far, it makes for shooting automotive subject a lot more interesting and fun!
Maybe some day I'll get a chance to shoot your 4 wheeled masterpiece.
Forgot to add that I also picked up a used manual steering sector and column.
The Exhaust piping on the drivers side wouldn't clear the power steering without MAJOR massaging.
I'm also trying to figure out where and how i'm going to mount the ignition in the dash.
