I have been following this car since the beginning and if I recall at one point the thought was to leave it raw or something which as time went on I thought was a good idea.
So many projects look incredible in the "raw" and so many times by applying some form of coating or covering the workmanship and fabrication gets lost once covered up. When i heard this car was actually going to be painted I got worried that this same thing would happen when "covered" up.
I was in attendance at the GNRS and once the media was allowed into the buildings on Friday morning it was the first car I wanted to see. I have to say that the incredible workmanship and fabrication on this car was actually enhanced IMO with the colors and textures used to paint this car. Every type of finish was perfectly applied and accented each part and accented the contrasting parts and finishes.
I went back to the car all three days and found more and more little details to look at each day and I tried to find something wrong with it and the only thing I saw was a small piece of 3M green tape down low on the inner fender well which I am assuming had something important written on it so they would not forget.
The Holman Moody shift knob and logo's on the gauges was such a cool small detail point.
Is there anything that Rad Rides can't do? I don't think so.......they continue to out due themselves year after year and car after car.
I can't wait to see what's next....
