I wonder if he simply layered wood over the metal, or if that's just a wood body...?

Too bad he's got the scales/minishingles going in the wrong direction on the front hood. Makes me cringe just lookin' at it.

Probably wood on metal.

Man, what a beauty.

@ kreem: It makes sense aerodynamically, and you know it too! =P

Wrong direction? They have to be that way to avoid lift-off at-speed.
They are the wrong direction for rain while parked . . .

That year, and the preceding one, the minishingles went in that direction.
