As we were strolling through BelAir Plaza I saw this aluminum looking creation in the distance and my first thoughts were "man is this ugly!" But then we got up to it and started noticing details and the workmanship was really very nice. He was standing there and I asked him if he owned it and he did. He was super nice and took time to explain the car, which he understands isn't what everyone would want, but from the people gathered around it and the comments he had the respect of everyone for thinking outside the box and for his workmanship.

I said "I bet you were good at welding aluminum when you were done," and he said "that's what I do for a living." It shows. This was one of those situations where your opinion got revised once you had a chance to really look at it.
