This might be completely unnecessary, seeing as how it's been said about a bazillion times before...

But, MAN! That is outstanding! Your craftsmanship and eye for detail is only outmatched by the speed with which you build. I have to assume you've found some way of skipping sleep altogether? :lol:

And a "technical" question for you: Do you use any kind of magnification while you build? Or do you haver some sort of bionic super vision? Because looking at your photos, there's no way I could do what you do without a magnifier.

John....All I can is WOW!! :) This build looks amazing.... Charlie's (aka Pro Tech) Braid is the best in the business. I can't wait to get some of it hooked up on my Funny Car build but I am a little away from it. anyway back your build. The detail is just amazing my friend. I look forward to the paint that you are going to squirt on the body. I know it will be an awesome job. I still can't believe how quick you can build. I also wanted to ask what you use for your blower belts? they look great.
