I cant beleive what I am seeing!!! :willy: :willy:

The engine is quite different.... and thats why I LOVE it ! :drool:

car looks awesome.......too bad he didn;t want to sell the motor and do something that would stay under the hood. but to each is own. fab work is awesome

You mean "do something that everyone else is doing?"
I think thats what makes is so unique and appealing.... its a combination of two or three totally different styles..... but it works !

I am just not a fan of the engine sticking through the hood on anything really. Just my opinion.

the motor almost makes the car look small.....lol it should make awesome power though

I know what you'e saying.
Its just something we've never seen on this type of car and IMO thats what gives it the cool factor (in addition to all the well done fab work).
But man.. If that thing sounds half as bad as it looks (whick it will).... :unibrow:

PS... Porter... if he DOES want to sell that Injected 540... call me ;)

It's a cool look and will be unique. But I've had a 6-71 blown street Camaro, and you can't see around the thing! I received a few "obstruction of vision" tickets in the couple years I had that thing, and that was 25+ years ago. Nowadays in California they'd tow the car. Going to be interesting finding the apex! :D

Excellent craftsmanship though, car will attract a crowd.

To be honest, at first I was a little disappointed that the blown 540 was the powerplant of choice... I was hoping for something that fit under the hood and had a pair of turbos on it. To my surprise, I was actually pretty 'giddy' when I stood back and looked at the car once we dropped in the motor. It may not really 'fit' the car... or fit in it at that matter!, but it definitely looks unique. I think it 'works'.

The customers intent was to build a car that attracted attention. It will be used for advertising/marketing/and promotion for his business. A lot can be said about the whole combination, but we can all agree that everybody that walks by this car will have to stop and look!

And yes, it does have a pretty big 'blind spot'! I am sure there will be at least a couple tickest issued when this car gets driven... the 'obstruction of view' would be the least of his worries!:lol:

Man That Thing Looks Bad To The Bone, I Wouldn't Have Gone With The Big Huffer Through The Hood, But Atleast Everyone Else Doesn't Have One, And Wow, I Bet It Will, Understatedly "get It" Awesome Work Guys.

I think the fact that it's fuel injected helps tone down the "height" ! Had it have been naturally aspirated and had two carbs on top with a large "bug catcher" it would seem a little more out of place on a "touring" type car. But I am diggin the low FI profile !
