That is just amazing!

I'd love to see some more pictures that show the details in better lighting and contrast. From what I've been able to see, I'm guessing there's even more that I haven't seen in some of the fine details.

That's a mighty big trophy by the way! I assume that was the point of it all.
yeap need to take better pioctures next week hopefully

I had a base map from what appeared to be from a Element provided to me by Hondata back in 2013, I later had it tuned by Church Automotive

Here are some more shots.
The quality isn't excellent but it shows more of the undercarriage work done.

That engraving work is unreal!

Do you actually drive it, except for on and off the trailer?

I would be soo reluctant to put any miles on a car like that with the amount of polishing and detailing to undo whatever road grime accumulates.

I'm also curious about you driving it. At this point you have essentially made the car undriveable because of the amount of work that goes into detailing it. Also everything on it isn't exactly replaceable if something were to happen. Is it now just an art piece that you trailer to car shows for people to gawk at?

It hasn't been driven... yet.
I set out to do a bunch of shows, I'm hopeful on showing at SEMA and to be featured in print. if that doesn't happen within the next 2 years ish, then I'll start driving it and enjoying it.
But yes for now it is a trailer queen made with the sole purpose of attending shows.

Do they require you to turn it on? Check that it turns on/idles correctly, revs, and the bass hits as hard as "king kong in-da-trunk".. if you will???

Damn dude! That pinstripe work is awesome and the engraving is just over the top. It makes the H emblem look plain. You gonna get that engraved and rechromed? Or maybe a billet piece that can be engraved?

That is quite the work of art!
