Default To Hell-N-Back

We went to the Hot August Nights car show tonight and I took so many photos, but this series stands out above all the rest. I suppose I might have waited until Halloween, but this was the most unusual, most original, custom car I've ever seen. It was truly incredible and I don't think my shots do it justice. It was almost dark, but there were still reflections and crowds of people to shoot around, but here they are.
Here is "Hell N Back "

And lastly, the interior of Hell N back.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to better deal with reflections of this sort in fading
light, I would love to hear them. Thanks.

Thank you Hayward, I can't even imagine the work and creativity that went into that car,
I don't think he missed anything, everywhere you look you see something incredible on this car. He must win awards everywhere he goes with it. Very different, but fun.

That is way cool! You know I love the cars. I love the orange, I love the flames, I love the whole car! I am envious of people with this much talent and creativity. I think you did a fine job capturing this beauty! I will make sure Charlie see's it. He will love it also I am sure.

Thanks Dave, your encouraging words always mean a lot. I think unusual really describes this well. It made my jaw drop when I saw it, it really is too cool.

Thank you, I knew you would like it, and Charlie too ! Got some pretty cool street rods for Charlie. It was a really good mix, even had a little PT Cruizer club ! Of course mine is cute too, LOL, but I have to show you one that was totally crazy.
