I think that pic was an "in process" pic.

He did a good job with the work...but he made several choices I would not have made (wheels, neon..old carbed motor..too much stereo eq), but he obviously put alot of work into it and I can appreciate that.

Makes me want to get my XR-7 together...still don't have room to rip it all apart though :(  I guess I better just get the engine together then ;)

That's not foglights. they're air intakes check out the pic of the engine.

my only "thing" about the car is for what he (i'm guessin' here) had to have spent on the engine, he coulda built or had built, a kickass injected windsor, and even supercharged it-ala Saleen S-351...
well, i guess he couldn't have done al that for what it takes to build a carb engine, but, what the hell...!

He's actually one of the few people that DOESN'T get his hands dirty. He told me he has no mechanical skills, so everything done to his car has been through shops (paint/bodywork, engine, stereo). He paid at least twice as much doing it that way, then if he'd turned wrenches himself. But that's alright...the results are very professional, and he's happy with it. It's just very unique and different...the combination of parts is not like anything done here yet.

yeah, it definitely kicks some major ass, if I had it, I'd be scared to hell to drive it, for fear of vandalism or some ...

I saw it!  Man I really dig the headlights, but I would have had a cougar head in the grill.

I dig it.  The interior has an updated and modern look while the carbed motor gives props to the old school ways.  Very nice.
