Nice! Tons of work, attention to detail...but y'think he could get the steering wheel on the correct side?

The proof is in the (finished) pudding but I don't know... so many stylistic ideas, so little space. And really what's with the shifter in the armpit?? It's a big project to be sure, but so is digging a hole and filling it up again (Cool Hand Luke anyone?) It's sort of a view of TT or norval or big632, etc. without taste. One redeeming factor? Nobody will accuse it of being a Vette when it's finished!

He has, but not only that, he's used Ford parts to do it

A Velisuar? I reckon it's got real potential & admire the man for the work he's currently done. Yes, the shifter is a long way back (but so is the weight of the engine/trans), maybe he's a little guy with stumpy arms?! Hopefully the finished result will be paraded around the local shows/meets so's I can get a look at it (& see it alongside this: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...6272&f=100&h=0 )
