Also, nice missing flywheel cover.
My guess is they went around the back of the subframe to maintain some semblance of ground clearance with the large pipes But the side pipes themselves look very low, too. It doesn't look like it could get over much in the way of speed bumps, driveway ramps, etc.

Anytime a person customizes a vehicle to their own taste is a crap shoot.

That’s a car I would love to get for 15K and would pay 20K for.
Someone else I would guess would pay 25K for it.

It probably has 35K put into it.

But in the same way if you dropped 35K into a 68 Tempest, 318 Barracuda, 74 Satellite, it’s just not going to have the value it would if you put it into restoring a real T/A, 68 RA GTO, 70 ‘Cuda, or 74 numbers matching 440 RR.

I am driving in the rain, at night, running errands, with the kids who are eating and having ice cream in the back, after going to the drag strip, burning rubber, and blowing donuts. Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"

I remember when that car was on eBay. I pinged the guy to find out where he got the flares, because they look so damn cool. If I remember right they were Hooker flares. Don't change anything, as that is one bad ass car as is.
