I wouldn't be surprised if more LS motors go in them them Fords.

But I also think a 4 cammer Ford might grow on once you hear that one in the vid in FF's version of a '33.

The 4 cammers with the blowers are really becoming cool for a retrofit. my problem with them is how wide they are . Makes it hard to work on.

the supercar..

Well said.

From those building 'em they said the wheelbase is 112".

I wonder what the total $ it would cost to build one. All the extras that the kit doesn't come with. Cause that thing is just so bad a$$. I also wonder how a 6'+ tall person would feel sitting in that thing. Looks small but might not be.

FF says a home builder should be able to keep it just under $40K. In the link below a builder said they could do one with air and a top for about $50K.

I'm gathering 6 footers will have enough room. After all wheelbase is 22 inches longer than the FF Cobra replica.

Default After seeing this I want old school!

Nice look, huh?

I'm not saying using tires that skinny but IMHO the car has a 'rich' feel to it. I'd buy some hi speed rated lower profile tires and have Diamond Back put some semi wide white stripes on 'em. I like the roof treatment also. Something to be said for lack of a hood.
