    Wow! I don’t know where to begin. I know this is a lot of money but look at the quality and quantity of custom work. Just one extraordinary example, check out the custom a/c venting under the dash. It’s so nice, I had to google some stock photos. Well done.

    I was incredibly impressed by the workmanship on this wagon, as well. If I hit the lottery, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
