Most amazing pics here: - NSFW pic @ the end. May have had something to do w/ the plant shutting down?

Indeed amazing... some pretty nice partly completed and almost completed cars there too..Some nice collector''''s items there..WOW!
As far at the NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW) pictures, I doubt that''''s what closed them down..more than likely she keep them going as long as they did go..
