    Saturday hubby and I went to Moncton, NB to have a look around at The Atlantic Nationals Car Show. It was totally amazing! We walked for hours and didn't see everything. It was so hot but totally worth it.
    While walking we came across The Thundertaker...

    It was tough to get pics without other folks having a look...but you really can't blame them, can you?

    Now that's a looong sun roof. :dancing:

    These pics really don't do this car justice.



    I had a look on youtube and found a video...excellent!

    Very cool - I hope to see it in person myself someday. Did you ever see it moving under it's own power?

    No I did not see it move. The pictures do not do it justice.

    That thing is amazing........... It's got a lot of details that you would miss if you didn't know about them. That thing must have about a gazillion hours of work into it.

    Thanks for posting this, Fannie!

    I'm not usually one to like a custom, but this one is very, very nice. I really like the interior, with the rear-facing second row of seats. Very cool.

    The absolute only thing I could complain about it is when the guy on the video kept calling it a "hursT" ! :)
    Otherwise, perfect!

    Very cool custom. Lots of mad skilz went into building it. Was that some sort of a bug narrating that video?? :confused:

    I thought that it looked familiar. I found pictures of it in my folders but I couldn't remember where I had gotten them. Love this thing. Interior could be a different colour but the exterior is just fine how it is. 3 :cheers: to those who did all the work on it!
