If you like custom cars and the 1956 era of design (tail fins and quad headlights) this guy will probably speak to you as he did to me!

I haven't listened to the audio, but those are some sweet looking designs.  I love the purple and yellow flame job, and the little munchkin car at the end is cool.

I have a plan, still need to figure out how to do it though, of creating a preamp styled in the shape of the back of a 50s Eldorado. The tubes would be mounted horizontally in the brake light slots with chrome bezels around them.

I bought some vinyl chrome but its reflective qualities are poor and it scratches almost instantly.  :evil:

Once I figure out how to implement the design I think it will be pretty sweet.
