    Over the past weekend, at the Monterey/Carmel weekend, every brand of exotics was represented but one car that stood a part for me was this baby. Owned by a local, talked to him for a while and I truly know sooner than later, this is where I want to be. Worth every dollar.

    Its not weather or not to tell you to do it ot not, but what does your gut feeling tell you about the porject. people can tell you to not do it, but if your gut is telling you otherwise, your still going to do it right>?

    it's what i call a perfect 10 car!
    They say its 50% finished but from the photo's it looks 10%
    then your looking at
    10k for bodywork/welding/prep
    10k for paint
    10k for interior
    10k for wheels
    10k for drivetrain
    then the goodies you want to add on top of that.!
    If you get into any kind of project like this expect the worse and make sure you have plenty of cash flow.
    We have projects like this through the door daily and i've seen far too many unfinished projects due to funds running out.

    If you tick all the boxes GO FOR IT you won't regret the satisfaction of having a unique car.

    And anyone with $$$ can go buy a new Lambo, if you do a lot of the work yourself, the feeling of knowing you helped make this car from nothing feels amazing.

    when Brian bought the car it had already been chopped. Frank DeRosa worked on the adding the Studebaker fins, smoothing the dash and may other areas of the car... and redoing some of the work done by the previous customizer.
