Even for top level shops with staff and cash clients, this sort of workmanship is impossible to hold together. \r\n\r\nAs far as the design goes, they did a great job of retaining the look and feel of customs from the period but also adding more contemporary touches for the 1990s.

Last one seen was a friends 50 Mercury that had all these mods and then some. The level and type of work is amazing-the rear does, indeed, appear to be Jaguar-8 bolt cover as opposed to a Corvette 10. Either rear could have the coil overs but rather sure its a Jag. It takes a real fabricator to attain a vehicle finished to this level-complain all you want about the wheels but they were top of the line 30 years ago. Much has happened since-you can have them designed and cut from a billet plug today-wasn't available 30 years ago without a ton of money and an artist that understood the medium. Extremely cool vehicle that should have either a stock Javelin or an attractive lady beside it for perspective.
