I started this project thinking I'd do it all myself. I've learned that's nearly impossible, and a few buddies' support can really help you build a better car.

It's funny, but I know exactly what you mean here. While niether mine nor my my father's cars are to the level of detail of you (amazing) car, and they are of a different style, maintaining a constant theme can be quite difficult. Sometimes we come up with ideas that, upon further reflection, don't mesh with the overall design we had in mind. This can be especially true when it comes to interior and paint. As an example of what I mean, a wild paint job with a stock looking interior doesn't "flow." Since each of our cars is aimed at a different design theme, what would work well on his would look out of place on mine. It can all be quite nerve racking!

You did an awsome job! Please get us some real pics asap, I need more for my screen saver!

Shiny Side Up!
