Thanks for the info, das144. That’s a beautiful car. Are the chasers silver or white? Hard to tell on a small tablet.

Right now I’m violently swinging through two extremes. I’ve “built” four different BDRs in my head, going so far as to actually enter everything into a spreadsheet in a sort of quasi-build sheet.

I go from outrageous, monstrously overdone car with enough power/torque to reverse the earth’s rotation, custom carbon fiber/leather interior, Suede paint with carbon fiber accents, hidden radar-laser detectors - you name it - to a very traditional, very “1965” type car. All it takes is one glance at what somebody else has done and I start that violent swinging to whatever end of the spectrum that happens to be.

The build sheet for the monster currently stands at six pages with a 12-pt font if that tells you anything; the traditional takes barely half a page. I want both.

I’ve built, or have had built, more than a few cars. I go through this every time; from obsessing about whether to use 8-sided or 6-sided hex-bolts to saying “Screw it. Just paint it black and let me know when you’re done”.

The equilibrium is always hard for me to find until I’ve rolled it over and over in my head. It’s easy to go extroverted custom; much harder to do something subtle yet tricked to the gills. Thanks for the feedback and the pics, your car is awesome!
