CabDriver Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I bet tho, with it on a stand with a mirror underneath you’ll be able to see them…worth making the effort even if you cant immediately see them from the standard ‘curbside’ view! Plus, we have a photo so we know they exist…🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 1/1 is the body a full on custom hand built or based off of anything OE I think it was mentioned in an early post on this thread, but if you look online it mentions the following "The Illusion is a coachbuilt custom by Rick Dore Kustoms. It features a hand-formed aluminum body by Luc De Ley of Marcel's Custom Metal". I was helping John with some 3D parts and decals for this build, so I did quite a bit of research on the car looking for info. Steve A.
