Ran across this Studebaker Replica this past weekend and the owner was nice enough to let me photograph it.

The owner, a fabricator, duplicated the original based on a photograph blown up to life size so he could use it as a template to bang out the aluminum body. The engine is an inline 8 cylinder and sounds like a P-51 going down the road -- seriously bad ass.

I think I will dig up a picture of the Penske Camaro and blow it up to life size, should be a piece of cake after that.
