In the last picture the vehicle is chopped at a different spot (a few inches back) from the other 2 pics. Looks like a 'cut' line on the roof and maybe a wood mock up or a different backend in the last pic.

| You folks should actually post pics of something you found. Not just pics of other people’s rides on the very site your on. Some are done very well. |

Very nicely done...My only criticism on the bottom one is that it almost seems like the top of the rear quarters should have a bigger radius. And maybe a little different transition into the rear wheel recesses... That car took a lot of work and is very impressive...Kudos to the designer/builder.

If you did a feint entry the sloshing might help with the weight transfer to whip the rear end around.

This one takes the cake for sure! I wonder what inspires people to do this? Boredom, a bet? I can’t imagine it’s very solid. So does the sunroof on retract a few inches back?
