    Wait until you see the interior, all new gage package, custom billet aluminum center consol, ferrari style ac plenums, all custom fab'd suspension pieces, sway stuff, 1200 watts of power and one of the cleanest speaker installs I've ever seen..it's pretty sick. About $18k all in, but his labor's worth about $50k

    Oh, and rolled and cut in those fenders himself. That whole front dam is from scratch. The rear foil is totally custom out of aluminum to match the CSL, the skirts are hand made, the rear deck is a little ricey, but hey, he also put a caddilac trunk hinge on there too...he's got a sense of humor to do all this to a twice wrecked 2800CS, which is why I call it the franken c. He keeps a meat thermometer in the ac to make sure he's blowing 39'F.

    Went so deep into a turn he cracked the windshield and popped off the dash, hence the custom sway work. It's stiff now, and with all that meat, there's little braking on long sweepers at 90

    Coupe is a stunner.

    Suspension and molding and the touring will be rockin'. Diggin' the M-Systems also, what color are the covers sprayed?

    I think those rear sidemarkers are from a 944 porsche.

    I think this should be his next project. I'd like to see him Franken one a dees


    Tstars are diamont schwarz, as should be the Mtrim, but it didn't match. It may yet still if my negotiation skills with the painter are up to it.

    The man is an artist. This is among the nicest designs: the purity of the lines, well balanced, simple... this thing is close to perfection.
