This might be pretty cool. It looks short. Will there still be a rear seat?

Looks like a Javelin and Mustang had a love child.

What will the sheetmetal do to the performance of the car and will it pass inspections to be street legal?

That looks awesome! Anyone know what rims those are?

Saw this at a meet a few weeks ago. Didn't get the details, but someone told me the mod is about $40,000...not including the donor car!

The build quality was outstanding.

Holy Craftsmanship... some gorgeous sheetmetal in this thread.

It speaks volumes about how important those 60s designs were...and it's really hard to imagine anyone slavishly trying to recreate a 10+...mostly because it's already a recreation of a superior design.

The blue car is not to my liking. The red one seems much better.

Looks weird proportionally, but I respect the work that went into it. Looks like it has a '69 taillight panel and '69 grille?
