    Excellent photos! Beautiful car too. I like its stance and the unique headlight/turnsignal assemblies you selected. Nice job.

    Thanks, the car is absolutely gorgeous. The guy that built the car owns a Company called the Dreamcar Company out of Louisville, KY. Magnificent craftsman.

    Thanks for the compliments on the photos.

    Froggyman,

    That's outrageous! It's funny how the shop left some components "bone" stock and then added their personal touch to things like the snake hide dash detail and the quickjacks (great study in contrast). I wanted to do that same thing on the rear with the combination quickjack/nudge bumper but have never seen it done. That's cool. The engine bay is just over the top! You must be very happy with it. Very cool roadster. Congratulations on your win. WEK.

    I think this is awesome! The mindset behind the build was to personalize the car without going over the top, which can happen very easily. The quickjack idea was something I had in mind for quite a while. With the help of a very talented machinist, Dave Nolan, we were able to achieve this very unique result.
    A study in the styling ques does reveal finishes that are not apparent.
    Photography work...Top drawer! It's that, that truely brings out the beauty of this car.

    Personally, I think this is one of the nicest POM's ever.

    Maybe the best:

    The beauty is in the details. Very nice. I like the way the side mirrors are mounted. The engine bay is fantastic. Great job and nice pics.
