Is this real?

I can't tell if this is a Photoshop or not. One way or another I like it, except for the color.

Saw it at the Detroit Autorama. I think that's the car they said the only original part
on the whole car was the rear window.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

If I'm not mistaken there was a lot of drame on this site regarding this Cuda.  Some liked it, some didn't and the ones that didn't got a little vocal and the actual builder or owner of thr car got on this site to defend himself. 

It was a mess....  :faint:

Wow, how did I miss all that?

Clearly, with all the things I'm doing, I have no issues with modifying a car.   :bigsmile:  I do think it's a pretty car, and I've always been more into the twisty-turny than the straightline, so that part appeals to me too. I think my preference would have been to limit that severe body rake, but it's probably needed for the anticipated top speeds.

Wouldn't have gone with orange, and I think it needs some contrasting color on it, like maybe making that ghosted billboard black, or even an indigo.

I saw it at the Mopar Nat's a couple years ago.  Absolutley amazing looking car.  I've got a 1:24 scale model of it in the basement.  One of my favorite customs.
