    I said this the other day and maybe I know know nothing but Rudy is my favorite builder right now. Nobody can touch his shit. It's like everything he builds is what I would want in a car even though I don't actually know it!

    WOW..Beautiful car..
     
  6. Stunning car!! I love the green interior it goes great with the black. Only thing missing for me is a pair of spots but that is just nitpicking.

    As I was watching the video, rays of sunlight popped thru the window and I swear I could hear angels singing...pure custom perfection touched by the hand of the almighty, IMHO.

    well the cats out the bag. pics weren't suppose to come out for a couple of days but this car is so amazing that it couldn't be held behind closed doors anymore.

    i was going to post some pics too but the video tells you everything you need to know.

    I'd still like some pics. They are much clearer and I can stare at them individually so I can appreciate it all!

    Stunning in it's simplicity.
    Nice work on the paint LowSprings - That's the glossiest gloss black I ever did see.
    What are the hubcaps?

    What a beautiful car, wasn't sure about the b posts at first, but just saw a pic of the stocker and totally get where he's comming from. Any chassis details? It looks like a dropped beam on the front, but how did you get it that low?? I can't see any bags.

    Greek mythology teaches us that Jupiter is the father of Mercury.
    They were wrong.

    That video of the car is proof that Rudy is not human.
     
  28. Wow. Look at the window frames and garnish moldings! This car is high art. Rudy has raised the bar damned high with this one.
