Good eye, he uses a glass body that is "corrected" with reference to anything he can find for pictures of them. There's a pretty good stack of pics in the shop right now. There are very expensive books with black thumbprints on the page corners. This is the guy that can build a car from 3 poor quality B&W pics! Having perfected his first aluminum body using the first car as a reference buck, symmetry, flares etc, a buck is made from that to get consistency. To work with this guy and shape metal over something feels like learning magic tricks. It's quite a process to tool up for, even with all the skills, but the results speak for themselves.
