How are you going to run the ac lines with the turbo set up.

Slightly jealous of the turbo set up... Slightly.

Good work!

The car will be a bit european in the styling, nothing over the top, the door handles relate to the front bumpers I think, I took 1/2 inch out of the front bumpers to make them "sharper". The door handles are from a 1967 Jaguar XKE.
The hood started as a flat VFN piece that I modified using fiberglass sheet and epoxy resin to make the recessed ducts. The front marker lights are now brake cooling ducts and the aluminum turn signals have yet to be machined but will be very similar to the Marquez pieces. The tail lights have been machined as you can see in the pics , the lenses are from a Ferrari 308. The fuel fill looks like a dry break, it actually started out as one but I converted it to a regular gas cap using a pop up cap and bung normally used on custom motorcycles. It sits flush when closed but if you push and twist on the black part it pops up so you can grip it and twist off. It will mount in the drivers side quarter panel. I covered the license plate recess on the tail panel and am planning on using a straight bumper with the exhaust coming out of the rear roll pan. Also not pictured is a very small sheet metal rear wing that looks great.
As for drivetrain, the engine is a bow tie block 383 with a mild cam but very good internals, the intake is a torker 2 with an edelbrock throttle body to square bore adapter , I had to use the torker because of its low profile and it being a single plane. This hood must stay flat, as a hump in it is absolutely not an option. The trans is a T56 magnum. Kore 3 Z06 front brakes, Detroit speed upper and lower control arms, I haven't gotten it yet but plan on using a speed tech torque arm rear suspension. It does have the DS deep tubs for a fat rear tire. Glad you guys like what you see, This car has been in my head for a long time
