Here's something. They did do a good fabrication job. But, think about how long those 6" wheelstuds and spacers would last if he was actually putting down more than 14 lb/ft of torque. That is an accident waiting to happen, along with that absurd fuel line. (assuming that he doesn't get shot first)!

IF that thing can actually reach 88 miles per hour I hope it goes back to the future where none of us are living.

Granted, the platform that he used to display his talent may have not been the best choice, but you can't take away from the fact that there IS definitely talent showing up in this design. It was probably owned by a young guy who may not have had enough money to afford a car like ours. (Hence the lack of engine mods.) I'd definitely be interested in seeing what a guy who has these skills could do if he was let loose on an F-body, and didn't have a tight budget to worry about.

The ghost flames are nice and there's definitely some fabrication talent there, but seriously... that's pretty scarry, even by stickercharged-all-show-and-no-go standards.

Calm down killer, you had to have got a laugh out of it. I wonder why these people spend so much money on those cars, he'd had a quick fbody w/the money/time he spent on that. I just feel sorry for the poor sophomore in high school who is looking foward to pulling up to school in his new tricked out civic, only to be laughed at and continuously asked "where's Toretto?!"

Yeah it was a good laugh....and I agree with you....he could of had a nice f-body out of it but I wouldn't mind seeing what he could do to a Camaro or a Trans Am if he were to be let loose on one....might actually look bad ***....I'm not arguing his talent...he is better than I ever will be and yes...poor poor sophomore....he's gonna be so sorry he bought that.

all custom work done professionally
Meaning "I didn't do it myself." So props to the fabricator working at a custom auto business... but not to the owner.

You would have thought that he would have at least taken a spray can to his valve cover. Anyone who tries to touch those headers will need a tetanus shot.
