Wow... some extravagant stuff...  8)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

He certainly has ideas!

Wouldn't be too hard to replicate a '57 Chevy Belair tailfin, complete with the ripple panel.
