Ummm, how come you haven't posted pics of your motor. That looks like it's pretty cool too. From the side it looks like a blower of some sort, almost like it might be a twin setup?? Can you see around it?

Funny enough, I don't really have a great engine photo. 540, whipple 8.3l supercharger, EFI, intercooled, a/c, pump gas. It does have a blind spot but also have a forward facing camera so that I can see over there.

Not really my cup of tea on the interior, but that is some first class craftsmanship and VERY nicely done! I'm sure that car will turn heads wherever it goes!
