really nice tribute car with a lot of good stuff including some nice six heat exchangers. wonder if it is all steel?? Chassis stiffened?? If all that it is not out of line price wise. Nice blend of performance and drivability.... and signal orange! Me likee!

That is a really nice looking car but why is it that the rear flares lower line at the rocker doesn't look right... there is a step down hat shouldn't be there.
I know we re not supposed to comment on the FS thread but in this case, this post isn't from the seller so I will allow myself to comment. Such a nice build with such a basic mistake...

Could be optical illusion
Looks like rockers may not be flared....

There are flared rockers/valences that match the fender flare line. These do not. There are some other oversights/short cuts on this car, but I don't like to do the critical thing. It is largely a very nice car, perfect no, but still very nice

I thought there was something odd about the way the flares looked. It's nice to have the explanation.

This is the area that caught my eye. Of course that wouldn't stop me from driving and enjoying it...

Good looking car, I would love to drive it. I like the choice of wheels, nice option other than Fuch's.

Has anyone on the forum seen or driven it?

Engine alone is worth half the price. That's an easy $25k for someone to build for you...
