Try this page:

The link www.attcars.com did not work.
I like the white, the red doesn't do it. The three white cars I have seen were very well done customs. Not any different that rodding a '34 chevy coupe....

THe one I saw was black and it was sharp from the front... the back I didnt really care for though.
I just wanted some pictures to show to my parents what I had seen. I really need to start carrying my camera with me more.

Or buy the LoneStar '53 kit and put C5 running gear under it.
