I'd like to see it race Merlin when he's done with it. While I think Merlin still looks nice and is clearly streetable to an extent, this is a little over the top for me.

The hardest part about building a custom is knowing when to stop, this car is more of collection of parts as opposed to Merlins which is a well thought out concept and execution. Whats that old hot rodder saying? ......If it don't go chrome it

It says in the description that is chopped and I think its a pretty good looking mod. I'm not saying that I would to it to my car but it does look good.

I also like to front grill. I'v been wanting to do something like that to my car. I have always believed that the non-chrome bumper vettes need chrome grills. (chrome may be the perfect color ;) )
