One of the things I really like a lot is the turn-signal light area in front. Those horizontal lines for some reason remind me of a Mercury hot rod from the 50s-60s (or more recently, ZZ Top.

I don't know how many noticed, but he formed an inner skin to the driver's door to fit his cage, rather than just leaving a big open hole like so many others do. I certainly missed this the first time around.

I noticed that, too. I figured he had gotten to the point where he needed to add weight BACK into the car....
