James Hetfield and Rick Dore reveal stunning "Aquarius" custom

A highlight of the Grand National Roadster Show last weekend was an unfinished car that lacked headlights or glass. Built by famed hot rodder Rick Dore and Metallica frontman James Hetfield, this sequel of sorts to the duo's "Black Pearl" vehicle dubbed "Aquarius" had gawkers galore. Dore hasn't said much about the car so far; he has revealed it wears hand-formed aluminum bodywork inspired by classic French pre-war designs, draws power from a LS1 V-8 and is "very driveable."
