Your work is nothing short of amazing... Hands down beautiful stuff and should have an interview on one of those Speed Channel shows covering the build.

All else aside, my personal opinion is the hood is a little over the top. It will subtract from all the work you did in making the body lines of the '10 come together with the '68. Again, just my opinion.

Ok sorry it been a few days.
Here is the pics of my Holley EFI intake finished at the Polishers. it turned out killer.
got the MBM / Wilwood / EBC brake package installed got a few line to finish but they are on the car.
the PML rear diff cover adds .5 qtrs of fluid and has a built cooling fins.
the SONY audio system is up and running rear trunk Diplay will show the build up of the car on the rear tv at the shows.
The Dash is almost all put together got the main parts installed it is more street rod styled but with this car being a roadster I thought it need an Impacting dash board.
Got the Massive Procharger Blow Off Valve installed as is all of the pluming for it.

as for some of you ? I made all of the carbon fiber peices here at my shop they are Fiberglass and then Carbon fiber covered still gives you the carbon look but not quite as light weight.
more soon. 5 days to get it finished.

I believe because it's based on an AWD Trailblazer suspension.

VERY nice. Dash looks real good too. Did you take off the front chin spoiler for the last round of pictures?? Looks better without it IMO. Any plans to test the performance of that beast or is it booked solid on the show circuit for the next 3 years?
