How did you get involved with the car scene: I was raised around cars and my uncle took me to my first show, he has several old hot rods, and I’ve been hooked ever since

What’s the story behind this build, is it your first:This is my
First real build, I had put a body kit and wheels on the car but
Decided that I just wanted to do something different that would stand Out. It took about 14 months after taking the car completely apart and Do the wide body and all the carbon fiber work. The only thing that Wasn’t taken out of the car was the carpet.

How much power is it putting down:I’m really not sure because I haven’t Had it on a dyno but I estimate about 200 hp naturally aspirated power.

Future Plans:I have air ride on order and a gull wing door kit that I Plan on putting on when I do the air ride. I’ll probably change the Wheels and I’ve also thought about turbo charging the car.

PowerAde or Gatorade:Gatorade

Shout outs or Thanks: I would like to think Pete Wagner and Wagner
