Apart from having to ask the passenger what the oil pressure is - I like it. :D

I like the roll cage, color coordinated to the rest of the interior, not really all that noticeable. I don't like the gauge layout or the exterior, but the rest of the interior is great!

I think it looks awesome. I wouldn`t do it to mine. But you can tell a lot of hard work has gone into this car. The one thing that stood out to me was the fact that the roll bar has put a crease in the door panel armrest where it passes by. OOPS.


It looks like we have Hijacked this thread talking about one car. My car doesn`t have a custom interior either. Just wanted to comment on the car also.

I respect to man hours involved in the car. I do NOT like the gauges streching all the way across the dash to the right, very hard to read especially doing 100mph+. I also don't like the body kits, then again I don't like ANY body kits.

Great car, just not for me. :cheers:

The car looks great I like custom vettes the gauges across the dash looks cool but it would be hard for driving. I cant wait to see what it goes for it would give me an idea what mine would do out there. not that mine is as nice as that one. :seeya

Regardless of whether or not you like the mods, the worksmanship looks very nice! There are alot of neat, creative touches on that car.
:iagree:

Very, Very nice attention to detail!!! :yesnod: :yesnod: I love the door panels. Looks like the doors are automatic, no handles.

It sure doesn't look legal.......I think cushioning is required and the side bars have to be between the elbow and the shoulder. :seeya Cappy

Hey Jay, I took those pics at Carlisle. That car pushed me in the direction I'm in now. The car sounds awesome and looks perfect. I plan on doing something very similar with the interior and I'm going to remove the center T bar as well. I wouldn’t change a thing on the car it looks awesome!!! He had the car listed for $65,000.00 at Carlisle and said he had about 100K into it. It wasn’t in my budget, but man what a car!!! :crazy:

To each his own, I guess... I'm not crazy about the interior.

It looks like the dash of a speedboat to me.

That sounds like alot of fun! WEll the turbo fell apart when i tried to measure the impeller/compressor, and paypal basically told me im screwed, so im going to try ebay next, but either way i need a new turbo. but i think im going to concentrate on buying the AFR the heads right now. :banghead:
