BEAUTIFUL X-RAYS of BEAUTIFUL CARS
The classic car x-ray project is truly amazing. It’s like being blessed with x-ray vision. Important and valuable cars are seen from the inside out.

Ultra high definition x-rays allow the artworks to be produced at various sizes, the most dramatic display being when you have the real thing parked in front of the x-ray picture, as shown here with a ’72 Corvette LT-1.
