That car is bad ass...
And I can really appreciate the dedication and skill it takes to build a car like that.
Please someone let them know that bad ass is a good thing...

It is definite BAD ASSS

 

[Polish Hammer]

What a beauty!

 

[ironpony]

that is neat, I can see one with a leaning tower of power slant six Mopar

Oh yeah... slant 6 with a blower! Or how about a 258 CI AMC straight 6, like you could get in a Gremlin. Wait...war story. Waaaay back in the 70's, I actually liked the Gremlin (still do). Went to the local dealer in Glendale, Calif. He tells me I can order the engine with a "high altitude" kit, 3 carbs & a hotter cam. I came real close to buying that car. Also had a 1966 Ford Falcon with the 200" 6 and "3 on the tree". Had the guts to run it at Lions Drag Strip, was slowest car there. Ran low 20's..... ah yes.....

learned to drive on a three on the tree Ford p/u 360.

Got my drivers lic and my dad ..well long story but anyway I wound up with a 53 ford flat head automatic 4 door ( I hated that car ). Took it to the local dragstrip to enter just for kicks. I asked the tech guy what class I would run and he replied "any class you want. Your not going to win cause we can't give ETs in minutes". That car took 2 days to get through an intersection from a stop light. Slowest car I've ever seen.

The Holden Red Block is a thing. Supposed to be bulletproof.
