Bad *** Bird!
 
This showed up in my Mecum e-mail blast today and is pretty bad ***!

I'm not usually a fan of resto mod cars but this one has a great look to it - I hope they add more photo's to the listing soon.

Not liking the ground effects. To me it doesn't fit the lines of the car

RAFormulas 10-03-2014 11:32 AM

That car has been around for awhile. Not my cup of tea.

The Hood... yuck... Why mess with perfection?

Thanks for the link Steve, cool build.

I like what they did with the roof and rear spoiler.

keith k 10-03-2014 09:55 PM

Not a fan.

JSPONT 10-04-2014 12:26 PM

Love it,Pro touring drive it anywhere, looks mean and says just try me!

RAJ7395 10-04-2014 02:14 PM

Wicked looking car.

I'd be afraid to drive it on the street though. Look at how low the intercoolers are to the ground. They're lower than the front chin spoiler and will be the first thing that will hit the ground and be destroyed.

Second, I don't like that the builders deviated from the renderings on the front end color scheme. The rendering had the grills painted to match the stripe and had the same color highlight around the lower valance cut outs.

Thanks for posting the video. A lot of work went into that car and money. They will be lucky to get a third of what they put into that car. Very nice. I don't like the site skirts on the car. Back end is very cool. TwinTurbo custom cars do not have a very good resale value.

I don't like how it sits...

Norwood 10-10-2014 08:21 AM

I actually sat in this car last night. Builders are really nice guys. The car itself would be a lot of fun on a Saturday night. I would say the quality of the car is no better than average driver. It's missing the small details that make car special.

Looks Pissed off.I like it!

Hows the blue car with the LS motor? I would have thought the black car was going to be a very high quality show winning build.

The blue car is very nicely done and I wouldn't mind calling that one mine. That car was built by a member here. Hotrodzz.

weranc55 10-10-2014 10:16 AM

Is it the right color blue :).

skunkwerks 10-10-2014 01:21 PM

Pro Tour
 
Like the color. Stink bug stance. No custom suspension work to make it sit correctly for the fat ass rubber out back. Spoilers are not quite right for the body lines of the car. Do like the front valance metal work. Would like to see finished pics under the hood.

It's close...I would say one shade too pale.
