Check this out...another retro project

Daytona

The effort is there, but I'm not diggin' it.
The car is too short for a Daytona conversion.
The original had a hood long enough to play a game of football on.
The only thing I could think of while I was looking at those pics is...
Lightning McQueen

No no...it was Strip Weathers "The King"
(it does look a little cartoony)

That is pretty sick! I'm interested to see the final product!

Speaking of SEMA, this girl I am friends with at work just told me her husband is going to the SEMA show. He use to work for this performance shop in town called Rides, but now works for CCW. He's a photographer/website designer.
He was promised to go like the last 5 years and his old company kept excusing him at the last minute. This year he is getting to go. I told her I was soo jealous.
Here's a website of the company CCW, it's a custom wheel design company.
She told me they just recently purchased a $60k polishing machine!!

Pics of the finished car are up...the same link still works. I hate the side exhausts.

I don't even notice the side exhaust in any of the pics. But that spoiler... and the front end... blech.
