Very cool photos! Your car stands out. Your hood looks taller than most L88s I've seen. Who makes it?

Great looking Pics. Are the tires staggered in size, front vs rear? If so what sizes?

Thx.

It's an Ecklers unit. They offer two L88 hoods. I went for the taller of the two. Good thing I did. The supercharger BARELY fits!

The unique look of those photos is a multi-layer process with digital images. Really fairly simple (for a pro) and a cool look for classic cars.

Here's a couple done of my car with that same process.





Obviously, the pro shots are better, but you get the idea.

The car looks great. I prefer raw photography, though. I know this type of processing was popular in the 2000s, but your car doesn't need it.
