Default Tera 12 - Aero E-Type Recreation

Ran into this on YouTube, my guess is if we have to ask how much this is, we can't afford it. Nice project though:

Gorgeous, Having said that. It's hard to take something as beautiful as an XKE, and really be able to improve on it. Most usually they come out like Foose' remake did kind of gangly, and not very aesthetically pleasing as it once was. As Enderle stated, we probably can't afford it. And at that price point, I'm seeing several things that would put me off, as for that kind of money it should be as near perfect as possible. (I'm going on conjecture here) The exposed rivets on the hind quarters are totally out of place, as are the tiny round lights above the regular tail, stop, and turn lights. What the heck are they there for??? The exceptionally rounded roof tapering into a big bubble on the back just ahead of the tiny trunk opening. And the exposed filler cap, that just seems to be out of place. These are small items to be sure compared to the whole. But in my eyes it's kinda like the glass slipper Idea, it has to fit. Not just kinda sorta. Just my thoughts.
