While its a nice car, I'm not overly impressed with it. I'm curious to know why they went with C4 subframes when the C5/C6 stuff is so much better, and theres also a lot of other better coil-over set-ups that could be used on this car. The interior is not finished nor is it anything impressive. Wheels look like stock 99 mustang Gt wheels, and aren't that nice IMO. The front spider grille is very 'budget' looking as are the painted bumpers etc. An LS1 powerplant is sort of behind the times as well, people were doing these in the early 00's, now there are much better LS powerplants available. I dont think the car performs nearly well enough to be a straight-up race car, and the lack of interior/mufflers would make it a half-hearted cruiser. I'm normally not that rough on cars, but I'm not feeling this one.

It think that is suppose to be a budget type of pro touring car(rat rod style)
It more a street car than all out race car.
And it still like it allot and the reason he picked a c4 subframe because they are pretty cheap.

C4 subrames are still dang good. I don't mind the lack of refinement at all. It just says that this man spent his money in the right places. He also mentioned that interior wasn't finished yet so I can't fault him there. I'm not a fan of the spider grill, but it's unique at least.

He's moved on to his next project, so you can expect to see more C5 and C6 parts.
