Well isn't this upcoming SMOTY car need to actually perform instead of coming off a trailer and looking pretty?
It will be interesting to see what happens and who wins this year.

Yes, this year's SMOTY contenders will have to driven and flogged as a part of the event... and from what Mike told me, the owner is anxious to do just that.

Sweet Ride! Diggin what i see!
The only thing im not crazy about is the valve covers.
Gives me an original valvecover (crate) look (well they are just that, but painted). I think it would have looked alot cooler with some smooth valvecovers painted like the car with the "Razor" logo painted on by Mr Thrash

But dont get me wrong, that is just a personal opinion on one detail, still love the car

I've seen most of their builds in person, and I'll be the first to admit I've been critical of their taste in styling. Taste is subjective, so it's all a matter of opinion and doesn't really matter to anyone but the builder and the buyer.

With that being said, I think this car is their best one yet. The styling changes didn't go overboard, and it seems they respected the original design cues more than they have in the past. There are a few things I wouldn't have done, and some other things that seem overdone, but overall this car has a better blend of form and line than their past efforts.

If it backs all this up with performance, all the better. Congrats to them for a fine job, and congrats to Lat-G for the scoop!

subjective maybe.....but its my opinion. Just because you have the resources to machine a ton of stuff doesnt mean you need too. To me the worst part of the reactor was under the hood. Loved the car though.
