Buicks rock. And I agree those Artillery wheels were mega win on that black beast. Great find.

that thing is quite superb - I'd very much love to build something like that very soon. Every pic, clicked and saved-as'ed.

Personally, even though I like the idea of the artillery wheels, I reckon the first shot makes it look a bit cobbled together...the kind of car a talented engineer builds rather than a talented engineer/designer.
The last shot (in my opinion) looks a lot better and reflects the work that's in the chassis too. If it were mine I'd be adding a coat of gloss black - the car deserves it.

Iknow what you are saying about the difference in the photos but I think the difference is in the photos if you see what I mean! Also I'd run a lower profile front tyre on the woodens, might help things a little.

I love it on both sets of wheels. I think i'd be going for larger diameter than the chrome wheels with less tyre if it was mine though. The chassis and engine look wicked.

This is exactly why I like it! To take away side profile on this is to make it a show-car. with the smaller wheels and larger tyres, you get the impression it might actually be quite nice to drive. |

Prefer the 2nd look.
However, I would be happy with many of the cars in this thread.
