Love the styling. Don't love all the rivets but the quality of the build is simply amazing.

WOW! That is one shiny car, I must admit I don't go for the rivet look, but that makes it one of a kind.
Awesome fabrication and stunning panel work.

I love the rivets. It is my opinion that it takes a noticeable increase in skill, work and thinking to make the panels fit when using rivets because you cant 'form', planish or polish any of the joints after assembly, like you can after welding. This is not only a dramatic display of artistic ability, but a benchmark for fabrication achievement!

It is a beautiful shape. I don't really care for the rivets though. I know its Randy's signature style but in my humble opinion it looks like it came out of the Airstream factory.
