Now that's cool...:thumbsup:

That is amazing.

As someone who has made the dies for body panels of real cars, I would think the one off body work here would be more akin to the cold working of a blacksmith. A big advantage of the digitizing of the models they use to fit body panels to saves a ton of time though. Still, you're running sheet metal panels through rollers and checking the fit with first clay and then spotting blue, then back to the roller; rinse and repeat a thousand times to make something like that front fender.

I wonder of he put the radiator in the rear.

I was expecting this one:

I was wondering the same thing. A 5.7L Hemi has some real cooling needs, especially if its being stomped on. Definitely does not look like there's any cooling going on from the front.

Uh I beg to differ...? Look at the time of 45 seconds and freeze it and take a look and you will see a custom radiator just behind the AC coil... Any doubts just look down to the right and see the radiator left hand tank connector...

Now how they get enough air to the radiator is a different question...? It appears or must be from the bottom of the front end because of course the hood blocks a straight in approach...?
