Yeah Dallas, that is ironic. Have you seen it in person? Here's a rear picture I just found. You can see how the scallops roll down the deck.

I really like it too. It's well done as far as no gimmicks and so on and it's really low. The best part is the owner drives it all of the time. There's been a few times when I'd be working on my truck in my garage and I could hear him either coming or going, rippin' down the street. I was jealous and inspired at the same time.

Rule of thumb, flames, hot rod, scallops, custom!!
You can cross over but generally thats the way it is!!
