I did a few searches & found this picture of the concept diecast they made before the car was built. I remember reading about this project in Hot Rod Magazine a few months ago.

Saw this car at Sema, I think it was extremely well done and I heard they won the Best GM Design Award.:thumbsup:

Mark, congrats to you and Phil on the Design Award! I saw the car at SEMA but with the constant flow of people it was hard to get the big picture of the car. It came out looking great! Can't wait to see what's on the horizon!
