Is this based on something you have seen or is it more of a fantasy project?
I little bit of both. I'm pulling ideas off concept cars, a little of my own, and maybe a little from you guys. Like Jarrod Li said,".....a silent plea for help."


After posting the thread last night, I took the hood and rear fender arches apart to reshape them. There will be a lot of that going on with this project. The hood was redone so the curvature doesn't dip down so much. The rear fender arches are going to be re-cut so that they sit higher and then the flares added back on. The body will be completely widened with the flares as a guide.

Right now I'm considering the Ferrari v10 F2001 engine or the Porsche GT1 flat 6. Twin turbos are also in the mix of ideas, but I don't want to cover up the induction system with a large box. I'd like to put some polished aluminum velocity stacks that will be visible with a clear rear cowl. Well, as you now know its gonna be mid/ rear engine powered. <---SECRETS OUT!
