Default Ladies and gentlemen, I give you....1079

Reg, Frank, Craig, and the crew really did a phenomenal job on this one. It is making its way across the country now.

Coyote under the hood, 18" polished wheels, and Wilwood brakes on the corners. A coyote in snake's clothing (TM)!!

Very nice! That Coyote motor looks very much at home underhood of your car.

Looks very nice, congrats! I like the interior (we got brown leather in ours too)

That engine cover, is it covered in carbon fiber effect wrap or did they make a carbon fiber solid piece for that car? I'm asking because I have never seen one, and it looks good.

I love the look of the whole car, especially the engine compartment. Now, about those red belts! If I owned the car, I might switch to black ones. But, since I don't own the car, I can only be envious of having a Backdraft. I miss mine terribly.

Really nicely finished and photographed. Love the tan leather interior. If I give my car another makeover, jet black with a tan interior is currently top of the list.

Thank you all for the complements.

I am a fan of the red seat belts, as I think they give it a more "race car" appeal. I took a completely "modern" approach to this car. From the engine, to the tires,brakes and wheels, I wanted the beautiful classic look, with the convenience and reliability of modern day automotive engineering. I had a vision when I started this journey, and together we made it a reality.

I learned a lot through this process, and developed some great relationships with people all across the country. Thank you for that.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Chad

Have you guys seen the "Ghost Cam Tune" for the Coyote engine? I was just listening to some on youtube and they sound so cool. I guess they are only a tune. Wish I had a Coyote to play with!

Spec,

Thanks for the feedback on the car. I'm jealous you got to see it already. I haven't seen it all completed...yet! To say I am excited is a big understatement!

Hope to see you at a show one day!

Chad

No Rich, not yet. It just left on Wednesday. It is arriving Monday evening! Looks like I will be returning about the same time as the car gets there. I'll definitely be there next Saturday!
