    Beautiful work by all involved. Traditional but inovative all at the same time a tough combination to pull off but it has been pulled off to perfection.

    I'm a die hard hot rod guy. But this one pulled me over to the darkside. I'm wondering about the name though, Nachtfalter, is that German for moth?
