There is a ton of chrome there!

I would take your car over most of the others, any more pics of the 360? How did the rest of it look?

Your car looks amazing! Looks like a fun car show, always been a fan of blowers, but the 2 stack has to be very hard to drive with that blind spot. Any more pics of the 360?

Beautiful creation, Simon. The fact that you were only a few points away from the winning Ferrari is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship that your car embodies. I have to say, it's strange for me to see all that American muscle sitting in another country. I have heard that most of the big dollar Mopar cars are in Germany and Japan now ...

Looks like a Mad Max convention. Yours is clearly a standout and the one I would chose to drive home.

Simon or Andreas,
Can we get a close up of that fancy hood badge? I'm wondering how the matte black on my polar silver would look....

Keith,
I used the same process to create the one for Mike's ConRodFanClock:

Damn Dude....that is one sweet clock. Excellent detail work!

When/if I get around to getting my set of MY02s painted matte black, I'm thinking a matte black hood badge would top it off nicely.

I guess the old yarn "If it doesn't go, chrome it!" applies to Ferraris, too.

That silver RX2 - was unbelievably nice - but overshadowed in this crowd with graphics and wild colours....

You know what they say - if it doesn't make it faster - chrome it! But sayign that - there were some exceptional bits of work there - the 360 had a pearl paint job and a apricot (YUK) interior with big 20 inch wheels - just not my cup of tea.

Thanks - Will search for some of the 360.

JPP - thanks for the kudos. I drove my car there and back (in the rain) and some of those wouldn't even start. I was truly honoured to be there - the show as extremely high calibre.

Many Thanks.

Sure does -

Thanks again for all the replies - a lot of the detail l (the carbon wrapping for example) is subtle and some of these cars with fiberglass and LED interior lights well and truly kicked my *** in the WOW stakes.

Best,

Simon.
