    Some of the photos are so high quality, they almost look like computer designed graphics. Could some of these just be a computer generated example of what they could do to your VX?
    I just don't know.

    MARK--- I tend to agree with your doubtfulness. Except for the "Spider" #115 which is real because it has a YouTube video of it romping in the mud, the rest look very suspicious of being Computer Generated. Especially, #319, #114, #158 which you can plainly see different background scenary through the clear VX windows. The washed-out & ghosted blurry backgrounds around the outer edges of the VX's (and not including the see-thru VX windows) add further suspicion of image trickery. Still; great art graphic ideas, but a bit too gawdy for mainstream USA. Thanx for sharing.

    I have to say, they are all pretty ridiculous, but that matte painted Foxfire looking one is SICK. I may just have to go matte black when I get mine repainted...

    truly you have to go

It's mostly used on show trucks and vans.

    Nice work.

    back to the 70s and a full size van to get paint quality of this nature. I like them except the horse hair on the hubs in the first picture
