I built this car using an open wheel modified frame. I took an old rusty, rotted 2 door Bel Air Hartop body and removed everything but the skin and attached it to the frame. It is all steel except for the fender flares which I made from scratch in place. It weighs 2500lbs and has approximately 625hp without the nitrous. I run it at Sebring Race track in Florida. I can keep up with just about any car on the track which includes Vipers, Porsches, Vettes, Ferraris, and more. I painted it myself. It is candy apple blue metalflake that you have to see to apprieciate. I bolted the fenders to the hood and it has a tilt front end. I have a title for it and plan to make it street legal.

That car is COOL LOOKING! It looks like it eats cars for a living that is for sure!!! It reminds me of the game character Hedge Hog on steroids for some reason!

Low to the ground definitely better traction around curves and less wind resistance as well!

We need more pictures! That's a lot of fabrication. Sold my 57 Nomad not to far back. Regretting it ever since.
