Very nice. I watch the video of grey car going around the track on an almost daily basis. I'm glad to see they're putting together another one.

I really like fender/bodywork. Very clean and "mean" looking (although the front isnt exactly standout). I assume its all one-off bodywork on that thing???

Such a great vid, thanks for sharing!
