Wow! I think my favorite shot is the bondo'ed hood with the power sander
resting on it.
I do not think I've EVER seen the same model in "before and after" state
before. THAT was creative.
Also, this model is significantly different than the Chevy on the World of
LEGO(r) book cover... (which is a much smaller scale, it's Miniland scale,
not Model Team) I think I like it much better, actually, and that's not just
because the larger scale lets you do more detail.
Bravo!
