They built that thing in a single car garage, and he said that after doing all the bodywork, they really had no idea how the rocker panel area would look because it was in a single car garage.

The Silverbird wasn't too successful, but man, did it look bad ass. I still have some vacu-formed bodies from the late 70's/early 80's of the Silverbird, for a 1/12 scale radio control race car, 1/32, and HO scale slot cars.

The Silverbird is still around, I saw photos of it a while back somewhere online. The current owner still brings it out for vintage races, apparently.

In one race though it beat all the Porsches at Laguna Seca -- the photo you posted is that race I believe .
