I respect your opinion and yours looks awesome!
As far as my objectives, I never wanted to replicate something. I was out in a few that were very close to original and the question "is that real?" started to get annoying. My neighbor has a real one and when out in that one..., well you get the picture.
I was out to build a trackable hot rod that happened to have a Cobra body. Once the E-M kit offered a custom coilover suspension based on a Chevy, I figured I'd spread the love across all 3 of the Detroit Muscle and drop in a Mopar. Besides, the HEMI has been my favorite power plant since I can remember. The build was a lot of fun and the car is still running strong. Lucky I couldn't figure out the electronics, otherwise I'd be running a Cadillac Northstar V8 Twin Turbo...
In fact I'll be a Blackhawk Farms raceway this weekend turing as many laps as possible. It's hard to beat a 528 with side pipes running flat out. |
