A Waste? They took a piece of trash and made a jewel out of it!

Wow! What a cool build! Love the color. Only thing that I wouldn’t have done is the rear spoiler. Ruins the lines. But at the same time nice they didn’t do lake pipes. Kept the build very clean but for the spoiler.

I quite agree, you really need to watch the video fully to see what exactly they started with.

All-in-all, I think they did a marvelous job of saving an iconic car.

They are true craftsmen. The welds on their chassis's are something to see. If you ever have some time go to their web site and look at their project cars. They are amazing.

Really like the glass work. I could have done without the spoiler as well. But excellent workmanship throughout.

It says right in the ad that the building cost 770k so I'm assuming you are buying the car and the building it is sitting in. hahahahaha

Why not just round up to an even $1,000,000?

I like the flush windows and removing the door handles is old school. On my car I fiberglassed my little rear ducktail, would have been cleaner with the rest of the car.

That is the kind of 'rebuild" that we used to refer to as jacking up the radiator cap and sliding a new car in underneath.

Looks like top shelf work to me, but I'm not a fan of that color at all...purely personal...
