When I hear those bells on the radio, 95% of the time it is really AC/DC about to disappoint me with "Hells Bells",
Hell's Bells has much lower pitched bells. The tempo is also slower, and there are more bells before the song begins. Metallica's bells are much higher pitched and they have a lot of echo to them.
(checks) Four bells before the music starts for AC/DC, two for Metallica. Plus, the butt metronome has Metallica going about twice the rate of AC/DC.
Rather like the rest of the music, actually 
It seems appropriate that the interior was done in hide. It was also done as the final, finishing touch. You could say that there was no life 'til leather.
The driver's seat is apparently very uncomfortable. It feels like metal up your ass.
I was watching a DVD of "Foyle's War" not a month ago and saw a car similar to that. It really got my attention and I mentioned to my boss how much something like that would be cool to build....

Fantastic. This confuses me though:

Unlike Hetfield’s previous custom sleds, Black Pearl is completely scratch-built. It’s not any particular make or model. It’s sculpted, handmade aluminum body is inspired by the tear drop contours and seamless body transitions of coach built European and American cars of the 1930s. ...
It still blows people’s minds when they ask what body we started with and we say ‘steel sheets.’”

what, you can't make aluminum from steel?
They asked what they started with, not what they finished with. Might have wanted to go heavy with the steel, but switched to aluminum for speed. It's all Metal.
