has anyone else checked these guys out? frickin sweet stuff, but kinda pricey - however, my bet is after they sell more stuff, prices should start to come down a lil bit...retractable 3 point seat belts that look good installed, modern hi-tech suspension and braking, a 5.7 hemi swap kit to use a holley carb and produce excellent power. and if you're into racing seats, they have it made for you. i've been thinking about getting a new hemi from a junkyard to use later on and i just may have to now...

they will restore a car completely for you an put all their stuff on it, but i guess it costs 100K - so if you know how to wrench and weld, you can buy their stuff and install it yourself. there's a vid of the first car they built on youtube - 70 challenger on a roadcourse just flying - i think they said average speed over 90 mph without skiding, body roll, etc. they had to design, engineer, and build all of this stuff themselves, so if they become more popular, i bet some prices for parts will come down

theres a place like that right near me.When i was toy shopping they had a 67 firebird for $1500,but they wouldnt sell it unless they did work to it.It was really lame.

Looks like they do decent work.

yeah, and i guess it's not a bad deal, since they specialize in 68-70 Bs and E bodies, so you're lookin at 10K for a builder car, cost of resoring, body work, all of their suspension, braking, engine work, plus all of the man hours to do it and 100K isn't too bad, but i'd rather put that stuff in my 71 and have a better lookin car
