That car is getting a ton of press in the past year or so. I have been working on a complete write-up of the car from concept to today. We have been part of it's history since day one.

Plenty of pictures one the web on the car!!! The car got restored last year to the original state.

There is some good pictures here.

Any closeup photos of the suspension? Article says factory uprights, but I see centerlock wheels with lots of backspace and low scrub. Entire car looks very similar to a trans am car.
