This build looks amazing, and everything is so clean, it makes me wonder if this baby saw any track time before it came to the show. Regardless, this is a gorgeous piece of art. Check out more pics here.

I hope we eventually get some video of this baby in action. I imagine it sounds amazing!

beautiful car without a doubt, however, if it were me, I would have spent the money on an original restoration.

I read an article on this car, it was a "kid" that built it next to his moms house and quit his "job" to build it. It was built for sema and then will be tracked, Its really cool but IDK who has a budget to build this with the cost of the parts involved and can quit their job lol

I have to say, I don't think I like the headers... I mean I love the originality. But the mess of tubes along with the AN lines everywhere looks... Messy. It looks messy and hot.

That rats-nest of header plumbing is surely the hard way to get the exhaust over to the passenger side (as if that is at all necessary in the first place). It doesn't look cool at all unless it was chromed, but still a waste of time / effort IMO.
