Hi,
Interesting?!?
The front reminds me a bit of a Callaway car... C12 maybe? (PS: Now that I look at the C12, it looks like that was the inspiration for the rear design too.!!)
It looks like it's going to take 2 hands to open the door... 1 to operate the handle and 1 to swing the door open.
But maybe the door opens electrically and the handle is there just to add to on-lookers surprise.
The shape looks interesting up close but I'd like to see it from 20'-30' back. Sometimes too much overhang front & rear disrupt the overall look of the car.
Regards.
Alan

Looked at the web site and it's stranger than I thought. Front end looks almost like a Viper, back end looks like a C5(?), and the suicide doors???
Looks like these people do good work but will apparently work on anything. Interesting Smart Car with the Lambo doors and custom work - strange but interesting. Can't figure out why anyone would do that!

Man,his wife is gonna be pissed when she finds out he stole the engine out of her Mustang(I'm not gonna bring up the missing panties she has been also wondering about)!
Then again maybe not,now she can put in the LSX engine she has always wanted instead of that modular blue oval turd!

I wonder what the purist where saying back in the day about flares, L88 racing mods and Grand Sport that are very valuable cars now or for that matter what they think about them now.This 1978 is worth nothing in real scheme of things ands its a problem. There's things I like about the car and some I don't. But I don't bash it and I wish I had 1/10 the talent of the guys working on the car.
What constitute Custom versus Stock, I say anything that you do to your car that didn't come from factory is custom. So, Any aftermarket wheel, cup holder, Upgraded stereo, Center console elbow cushion, fancier spark plugs and wires etc., is no different than this car. Non factory is not stock whether you can see it or not.
