Very Nice. I want one.

Superb craftsmanship throughout. Bet it goes like a bat out of hell.

Built by a check writer. Notice how he never says I did this or that, It was always we did this or that. End result looks good. I wonder what the total dollar investment was?

[Young Ed]

I wonder how much interior space is lost by the drivers feet with that much of an engine setback? Outside looks good, I do wonder why with all the talk of retaining as much of the plymouth as possible that he didn't retain the stock dash and instruments. Are those the viper pieces??

[Dave72dt]

Fatman's did the chassis, some custom shop in Georgia did the body and upholstery by another shop.  Engine setback took up a ;lot of the original dash space plus needed room for all the electronics to run the  V10 running gear.  Nice looking car, but as Don said, he wrote checks and said make it happen.  Owner is happy. and since the checks didn't bounce all the shops are happy too

[JIPJOBXX]

Yep and probably he had the extra cash to have someone do the job right!  Did you see where he had that car since 70's!  He probably loved that old car and just wanted to do something special with it.  Not many people have the talent to do such work and I for one just love to see this type of work preformed.  Time-time-time!

Very well done car.  And how can you put a price on a good time.

When you have cubic cash to spend,you can get that kind of work. Most of us spend more than we can afford,and end up getting half-assed jobs we end up having to redo ourselves.

I know I don't. I sure wish I did,though.

 

If I am going to be completly honest,I would rather have the talent and the tools to do work like that myself,than to have the money to pay someone to do it for me.

 

I am NOT knocking the guys that for one reason or the other,usually having to do with time,pay the pros to do their work for them. Lots of people just can't justify taking time off from their highly-paid jobs/careers to work on their cars. It's actually cheaper for them to hire pros to do it than it is to do it themselves. I understand that and sympathize with them.
