I like it. Without people like you who choose to think outside the box and actually BUILD a custom car or bike, then everything would look the same.

Nothing like doing your own thing --good or bad ---i find nothing wrong with any car designed ,customized, changed, chopped, its all good and i just admire the effort and willingness of the guys/gals who do it ---thanks for all the kind words from all--whether you change an entire body or just a gearshift **** -----its all good

This is a really cool build. Kind of reminds me of the old Chetah car but yours is stretched out more. The front end of yours really looks great. The rear I like the smaller lights instead of the Cad lights but that is just my personal preference. This is one of those cars that you just can't stop looking at it. If I were to see it at a show I would keep coming back. You do really nice work. Keep up with pictures. Nice custom.
