one of the dopest looking diving board car i have ever seen. awesome wheels too.

Wow, really? Thanks man, yeah the wheels may look great but they are zero fun to clean.

:D

Well, a local friend invited my brother and I to his hanger to check out something he has in storage for his friend in California. I think you guys will approve.













...perhaps an engine swap later on?

Additional pictures will soon be added.

This is the S70/3 from the infamous long-tail FINA McLaren F1 that competed at LeMans in 1996 or 1997 IIRC. Power is estimated at ±600 bhp because of being destroked from the 6.2 liter S70/2 that was used in the McLaren F1 road car.

Kind of humbling to have a car sitting next to a motor that costs literally 100 times more than it.

Can't wait to see it with the euro bumpers. Might I suggest not leaving primer as the last coat. It is porous and will absorb moisture. It is meant to prime for paint and should be used that way, not as a top coat. Just my 2 cents. Car looks good though. You should take some shots once you get your bumpers on, with your dad's car and yours.

On a side know, what is his friend's plan for the motor?

[TDE30]

Are you referring to the fronts of the bumpers or the backs? I plan on leaving the fronts in their original chrome finish, and the backs are being sandblasted.

Good idea about the photoshoot of this and the M5.

[SpecRaceM5]

Any surface that is primed should be finished off with paint. Another idea might be to use that underbody paint. It is applied with a brush or roller typically. Very durable stuff.
