I saw the car in person, and the pictures do it no justice at all. The quality of the workmanship on this thing is unbelievable, every detail is perfect.

Hmmmm, that low profile oil pan has me thinking... Drop the motor in an F-body a couple inches and make room for a big 'ole Kenne Bell blower.

Pretty expensive option, but would be pretty cool looking and would drop the center of gravity a little.
