Heads up display incorporated into the ceiling panel. Also a classic chrome dome light with trick map lights on the sides...one of the very few off the shelf components.

Designed and built the wiring harness for the car ... from scratch. Wires, plugs, controls used from various GM vehicles. Wires weren't spliced together...each wire was removed from the 'original' plug and plugged into empty plugs chosen for Rhythm ...

.


Stripping harnesses ... wire by wire as per colour required. You can see the row of hammers that were used to create the body.








Circuitry for the multi-funtion LED retrofitted taillights.

WOW that is a nice build! I like the "thinking ahead" bits you did, like putting the gas cap under the rear flipup to keep the body lines flowing and symmetrical. The concave surfaces bring an interesting dynamic to it. Single pictures of this angle or that can't really capture the whole car, it seems to have a bit of an optical illusion to it. Do you have by chance a video of a walkaround of the car? Kudos for having a vision and sticking it out 8 years. It's inspiring

Some detailed closeups...




To follow through with the Blackbird/fighter jet theme...these cross hairs were created from Stainless Steel.


Power mirrors are mounted on the door extension...with no visible fasteners or wires.




Now you guys have seen how to fill up the car...


'57 Ford Fairlane taillights are retrofitted with LEDs...the centre bullet is the brake light...the outer ring is the running/signal light.


... and if you're wondering of both sides are symmetric...they are

This vehicle never left the shop for any of the work for 8 years...except for the safety. Design, metalwork, bodywork, paint, and assembly was all done in the one bay you see in the pictures. It would be moved/rolled out once in a while to clean the place up, but never leave the premises.

Done.
