I have had my differences with Gary over the years. He does not believe in the design process, weight studies, nor structure engineering, as nearly as I can tell. He does do amazing work I have to admit. I was blown away at how wonderful the workmanship was. This has to be one of the most luscious interiors I have ever seen on a cat.
A lot of breakthrough designs come from people that do not follow the rules or equations. Of course chances to get screwed are greater.
