Not exactly my cup of tea, but I sure wish I had the body and paint skills it took to create it. 100k is just silly.

The A pillar line is brutal and unfortunately it doesn't get better before or past there.

I like the goldish color car on the street in the background of picture #8 but not the Vette. Too over the top.

If I was super rich, I would buy it return to its origional state, then auction it off to charity.

I love custom cars, but that thing is atrocious.

When you could just auction it off as is? You see all of the unique components on this one don't you? According to the seller, it's worth 100k. What more would you want?

Its kind of got that back to the future look. haha

Though I think someone should email the guy and explain that just because you mod a car to make beyond recognition doesn't make it "one of a kind". Its not a prototype, special edition, or collector car...its you personal project.
