It has a Corvair clutch and brake pedal. Other than that...
It is quite stunning.

Mad fabrication skills displayed by this builder.

F1 style coilovers in the rear are super bitchen.

Must not have been enough room for the original biturbo?

So, sure why not use a blower instead...same basic results.

I wonder if it even runs? Seems really strange that they wouldn't even test drive it. One picture shows the engine with no cams.

In the Hot Rod/Custom world some vehicles are built as art and are never started/driven while on the show circuit. Exhaust is spotless, no heat signature. The finish has never experienced "road rash", etc. Pure eye candy. Not my thing to do, but I enjoy seeing the results.

I like that one. 90% done with no donor car parts? Ha. I guess they bought a new Corvette crossmember from GM?
A price would be interesting.
