Doesn't hold a candle to the Ringer Bros' car. Does that mean it's worth 1.4m?

I saw that car at SEMA a few years ago. It looks okay, but I think most of the design work was done by the late Ray Charles. Especially that hood, yuck!

Wow, I guess the car rolled in one day and the forgot to turn the clock off and it sat in the back for a few years...

No way in hell that would take 10,000 hours. That's over two years.

All that work only to be outfitted with off the shelf Lokar pedal covers. Not a bunch of attention to detail. If that car is 1.3mil, Rodger's 57 truck is 12 mil.

That thread was locked on December 27th [I] 2008[I] I am curious why the OP here brought it back out from the dead zone? I just lost several valuable minutes reading the last couple pages. I will never be able to recover that time.
