    I have been exposed to customs since the mid fifties and thought I’d seen it all until I went to the San Diego Automotive Museum today. A ‘58 Impala from Japan with a paint job that was said to cost a quarter million dollars. The paint is thick enough to allow the engraving. This car was six years in the making.

    Denis4x4, that’s some crazy sh-tuff. Do you have any photos of the whole car?

    Thanks for posting the video. It appears that a lot more work was done after the SEMA show. I want to know how they came up with the technique.

    I think someone said the paint was laid on thick enough to do the engraving.

    Speaking of bubble tops I know it wouldn't fly around here but I think it would be cool to build the Merc in the bottom right and make it elecrtic so it just slid along silently.

    It would be very kool! I like the art work because it has a Golden Sahara vibe. Can you imagine that?
