Whoa...
Man, that thing sits down in the weeds! I realy like it. There is such great work all the way around but the seats look a little sparce. Not a hard criticisim... It really is an awesome car. I'm gonna check my lottery numbers to see when I get to build a car that cool.. :icon996:

Great looking finished car. A lof of skilled work involved.
Ok, maybe it was the year I spent working for a vette restoration shop but here is what I don't get:
The original interiors on these cars are gorgeous, why everybody feels they need to change the dash layout so it looks like everybody's streetrod is beyond me.
The other thing I don't get is why was it necessary to use an original 56 body? Original 56/57 bodies are getting pretty rare and I guess I feel personally that they shouldn't be hacked to pieces when a substitute is readily available. The 56/57 body is available in reproduction already ready for paint and completely interchangable with the factory original (the difference between an original is the bonding strips, the new body doesn't have any). A tube frame is also available in the aftermarket but ti looks like they made their own, which I think is pretty cool.Kerry

- 1967 Buick GS340: "fiberglass?!?! Who the heck patches a floor and brace with fiberglass!!!" - Sold this car so I wouldn't spend any more money on it.
Slowly I have become a casualty to the army of cars and motorcycles I have stashed away.

These guys also did a........
Lemon yellow Cuda convertible with a Paxton blown Viper drivetrain including the independent rear and 6 speed. It was a 2 seater speedster (with a top) with the Viper dash, door panels, etc. It was pretty damn nice. It was on display at the turkey run in Daytona, and they were trying to sell copies for $250K each and thought they were getting an order from one of the biggest collectors in the land, a heavy weight collector in Georgia.
They do some nice stuff. I actually got a quote do do some sublet, and the price was very resonable.

Schwinggg!!! That thing is incredible!
Know if they're going to give it a grille? Looks kind of like a T-bird in front without it.John
