The car looks good. There are many things that make the car very nice but,..... the smooth tail panel? 
Very nice car indeed though.
I love the smooth glass look!

I wasn't a huge fan of the tail panel area (needed exhaust or something to break it up), but the tail lights were pretty trick.

I still didn't see any engine bay pics when I went back a third time to loo. She also needs some trick side view mirrors. I like the smoothed handles, glass, and drip rails but it looks a bit too Street Rod, needs more Pro-Tour.


Maybe that's not what they were going for.

Quick update-

Stainless header flanges (designed by ADE) should be here on Monday.  They will be pretty hard to see when installed in the car, but will be a nice touch when the engine is on display at SEMA this year.




-8 Fuel rails are done also - thanks Bob!

Engine pics on page 14 and 15
Sorry, but I think that box in the cowl is actually the air intake box. it does look like an intercooler, but I think the fins you are seeing are actually the air filter and the tubes run into the intake for the blowers. now maybe there is an intercooler in the fenderwells, but I am betting a car like this doesn't need an intercooler. very nice!

Nice guy as well.  My bad, I was shooting from the hip on that one (after a long lay-over in Houston).  Fit and finish are top notch for sure.
