Well...I figured with the space he'd be saving leaving the turbos off the car, he might reconsider the laser cannon....

Ought to help "lay the smack down," not to mention start a new trend. Pro-Road Rage!

I might reconsider wanting to work in the movie industry. I forgot how fun it was to do stupid stuff like laser beams.

Tyler
When you say trans am theme in the engine bay do you mean something liek chirs kerr did on his 68? Do you plan to run wheel wells?

I think everyone gets caught up on trying to have the baddest pro-touring car. when I first read about your project the motor was not what grabbed my eye, but more the suspension. I wish ya the best with project 50/50!! It will be one of a kind.

Tyler,

The car speaks for itself...You could put a Briggs and Stratton 5 horse in it and it would still be cool!

Tyler I say do what ever you want and what you can afford I am sure the budget is playing a role in your decision at this point and after I found out you have vested in the body kit I can see why A few of the original ideas are falling to the wayside. You know JP and I say ixnay on the wide body stuff but in the end it yours and do what ever you what just do some thing soon, and when you go to bed tonight don’t forget to say your prays and thank god for

All I have to say is don't settle, I did and now i'm on my third build and lost alot of money .I think the wide body look on your car would look sweet, then again does it need it to fit the combo you have? Either way I cant wait to see it done.

Tyler, It's been said more than a few times here already, but, I'll say it again, Build what you want for yourself, not to please everybody else, and build what you can afford to build without getting you/your family/your business into undue financial strain (or, real problems).

Of course, if the other purpose of the vehicle is to be as a calling card for your business, then you may want to consult a good tax guy for ways in which you can leverage things. My dad has been in the custom (marine) business for a long time (now retired) and building outlandish stuff was part and parcel of promoting the business. Just my $.02 -Rob
