    As a student at Benson Polytechnic in Portland I studied under Mr Hunter. It took a while to really understand what he instilled in me about creativity, quality and functionality.

    I miss him, but carry on with his mission.

    That is one GORGEOUS car. Hope to see it at PnP this weekend. ;)

    I'm very surprised though, that it's not known what bodystyle the car started as. I'd think that would all be determined by the VIN and/or a body tag.

    Do you still have those tires you removed? If so, any interest in selling them? :)

    Having seen and photographed it at indoor shows it will be well worth the walk to see it in person outside for those who are at Lone Star.

  18. Normally I am not one of those Custom bashers, but that Stude is really ugly and ill-proportioned.
    It's the antithesis to your car, which is perfect IMHO.

  30. I love how that white rock and beach theme was a trend in the northwest. Taboo had a similar setup when in was showing heavy. That show was unique when it was in the memorial coliseum basement. You could barley drive the cars in. It was pretty common to have to use jacks and dollies to get cars into spaces with all the concrete columns.
