Some of you may have seen this car before it's final paint customization

Cadzzilla is a beautiful piece of rolling craftsmanship.

That is so ugly, but beautifully executed.

These pics do not do the car justice. it is beautiful in person.

Lightyears out of my budget, but does a favorite thing; emphasizing [or exaggerating] to connect features that compliment the other.
Mr. Gibbons is a world recognized commissioner of automotive art. Besides copious resources, he is said to have remarkably unique flair for the design elements of customized vehicles. I remember debut of Cadzzilla and liked it right away, being an intense study of 50's era work, especially that of Southern California.
But his "Mexican Blackbird" attains it's style in a completely different manner.
He also is supposed to know his way around electric guitars; hope so, he might own more than Jay Leno has cars.
