    I just don't know.

    MARK--- I tend to agree with your doubtfulness. Except for the "Spider" #115 which is real because it has a YouTube video of it romping in the mud, the rest look very suspicious of being Computer Generated. Especially, #319, #114, #158 which you can plainly see different background scenary through the clear VX windows. The washed-out & ghosted blurry backgrounds around the outer edges of the VX's (and not including the see-thru VX windows) add further suspicion of image trickery. Still; great art graphic ideas, but a bit too gawdy for mainstream USA. Thanx for sharing.

    I have to say, they are all pretty ridiculous, but that matte painted Foxfire looking one is SICK. I may just have to go matte black when I get mine repainted...

    truly you have to go

It's mostly used on show trucks and vans.

    Nice work.

    back to the 70s and a full size van to get paint quality of this nature. I like them except the horse hair on the hubs in the first picture

    I can really appreciate the craftsmanship, but most of them just aren't my style.

    Now, 158 on the other hand is a friggin gorgeous vehicle. Makes me want to satin finish mine.

    Also, they aren't photoshopped (as far as the paint jobs go) the backgrounds you see in the windows are there, they have just blurred and airbrushed the backgrounds around the tops of the car, since it looks like the photos were taken in a busy shop. The wicked "rendering" is just some nice focused lighting.

    The paintings are pretty awesome as far as detail and talent though. So much more creative than all the damn beach scenes and mother mary's we get everywhere over here. Ha.

    Thanks for all the links. This was cool to see.
