What color is this guy going with? ...I've seen it done in a few different colors but the best two I've seen were flat black(almost like a primer black) and SOM.

Update! Well here is an update. The body was sitting outside the shop monday morning. We had to tie up a few loose ends before setting the body on. We finally got it on yesterday around lunch time. Well after two days work, here is where we are from the last pictures. Its coming along pretty well, but we are dealing with how another shop fit the body together. 
I dont know who the did the center console and dash for the car they were delivered to us complete. We are doing the rest of the interior.

thanks for the compliments. You are all in the ballpark. Im not sure on the exact weight, but it will be around 2500 pounds. We have scales at the shop, so we will probably weigh it before it leaves.

So maybe I didn't look close enough, but what exact powerplant is in that one? Just to get an idea on how ridiculous acceleration will be in that thing? And to see just what class of crotch rocket it will beat, 1000's or say a busa. And yea, 2500 pounds, 500 hp (in the case of the LS7 or a H/C LS1)...hold onto your butts.

Its an LS7 with a FAST cam and computer. We are guessing somewhere around 540 hp? We really arn't sure because it was already in the chassis when we got it. If we do another one we will have more control over what goes into it.
We are thinking about taking it down the road and having it dyno'd just for ***** and giggles. I dont know how accurate these specs are but they are supposed to do sub 3 second 0-60, and around 11.0 quarter mile. Top speed is 200+.

its a porsche g50 transaxle. It has to be sent out to get flipped.
The porsche engine is behind the trans, so if you were to just install it right side up behind the engine you would be going in reverse with the trans in the forward gears.
