Have you guys seen this before? Looks like $20K plus a wrecked vette gets you this:

wow I would totally drive one of those! It seems though it would run you double the kit in the remaining parts and time involved to build that thing though? But still, thats cheap for something that looks that good!!

Yeah, saw one on the Power Tour last year. I thought it was fairly spartan, but would be fun to drive.

Way too similar lines to a GT, but I guess beauty is universal.
I expect it'd be more like driving a go-kart or a Mosler than a Ford GT with a stereo, a/c, cupholders, etc.

Melting Slicks
I've seen the kits for the Ferrari Daytona and the Dodge Viper and they look terrible. The proportions are never accurate and even if you're not a car guy, you can tell something's not right.

Just out of curiosity, how would you go about licensing something like this? Does the manufacturer provide a VIN? What about emmisions testing in the states that actually check?
