    Unbelievable! I’d love to see it in person and drool for hours. The amount of work to make it look old was probably one of the hardest details. The chop and curved back glass among all the other details. Just incredible! True craftsman!

    When I saw that car, the first word that came to my mind was, "slippery". It just looks like a slides through the air. Beautiful creation.

    One of the Best Custom Classic 40s Style Builds that I ever seen it actually looks like it was one of those French Art Deco Design from the 40s. This is the example for everyone to follow from.

      Uhmm - "extreme attention to detail'? Check 0:25 pause and explain what do you see above the mirror...
      I guess the "attention" wasn't that great. And it kills that WOW effect, if one comes closer...
      Yes, they could easily hide that under the pole that splits the front windsheeld in half.
      EDIT: GREAT project anyway...

    Gorgeous... what makes the difference from a nice car to a great car is the attention to the small details, too. The slight slant in the vent window is just one of the many little things that firmly place this in the great category. My own personal preference is to keep them period correct, but I truly admire and respect your ability to give it the outward look of period correct and mount a rocket under the hood at the same time.
