Excellent shots.
Wonder what that red button does just in front of the gearstick ? Pushes. *walks away whistling*

You'd have thought that going through all that work the owner would have taken a little extra time to get the steering wheel on straight the wheels on the car appear to be facing directly forward yet the steering wheel is at 90 degrees
Glad to see the photographer had his wits about him and yes that wing mirror is fantastic.

Waaaayy to austentatious for my taste but what an excellent example of a modern hot rod.
The finish is brilliant and I love the detail in the wing mirrors.
I think the wide angle works well on the front and side views but not so well on the back. The distortion of the white truck and the people dont work for me.
Great car though.

I think the steering wheel being off by 90degrees is for driving comfort, it would be difficult to grip the wheel comfortably if it was in it's normal postion.

Nice cars though, but not something I would invest in doing, I hate putting any money into a car, hey, I get annoyed when I have too put fuel into one or serviced. So spending money on customising one is just a waste IMO, but people would think the same of me and my vast camera collection

Totally agree but the 16-50mm wouldn't work due to too many people being too close. I had little choice but to use the Fisheye. That is one shot that one of my other body/lens combinations would have nailed without distortion or moving further backWaaaayy to austentatious for my taste but what an excellent example of a modern hot rod.
