Thanks for the kind words Ben and eveything you have done , we are extremely excited about this build and the challenges we will face this is a follow up build to the 67 chevelle for the same customer..... sort of the anti-everything the chevelle is it is riding on another Roadster Shop custom chassis... as we could think of nothing else worth putting under this and those guys have to be the absolute best in the business and by far the easiest to work with.

For power I will let the pictures speak by itself.....many more build pics coming soon .....

Nice job Ben, it looks lke you shrten the fron over hang about 6", behimd the front wheel about 2 " and another 4 to 5" of the back. Does that sound about right.

Base on the pictures, those changes loo like they are going to make a major difference.

Thanks for sharing.

By the way, the interior looks killer. I love the door panels, heck I love the whole concept. Sweet project!

Thanks guys.

I forget the actual dimensions of the cuts but even shaving a little off made a big difference right away. We altered the drip rail area to soften the shape of side window and make the roof look a little less flat. The intent was to create a more refined and aggressive look to the profile of roof and side glass. Another major mod is that we tunneled out the rear deck so there's a pass through on the rear spoiler. This resulted in a more sculpted rear roof but from the side it appears unchanged.

The whole rear of the car and the grill needed some massaging and detail work to achieve a more balanced and modern look. There's a lot of machined parts and fine details that'll hopefully tie the car together and reinforce the contemporary, industrial theme we were going for.

I see a little bit of an Australian Falcon look to the 1/4 panel after the mods. Very cool project. People are going to like it, but won;t be able to figure out what you did to it. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
