I was there for only one day and I am sure I did not see everything. Here is what I found. The last one will be in the Optima race this weekend at Lave Vegas Speedway:

The Ridetech car has gotten a lot of exposure on the forum. Pretty interesting build and body rebuild.

Hi c,
Did you happen to see the car that was built by Heartland Customs?
I think it was being built for someone in the Netherlands.
The thread about it's construction was started here 4 or 5 years ago. I remember reading during this past summer that this was the year it was going to be finished in time for SEMA 2016.
Regards,
Alan

I have a feeling that they did not get it done in time for this year's SEMA show; there has been no news about it anywhere.

This is a very big $$$$$$ build, and I am looking forward to seeing the finished project!!

Very beautiful car but like you said a lot of $$$$$$ involved.
I'm more of an original 69 LT-1 kind of guy!
