I guess some people look at this kind of project as an interesting engineering exercise, but I look at it and think "WTF were they thinking?".
Now take this same approach with a 1st or 2nd gen Viper and you might have my attention . . . .

A 68 always drives better with two adult passengers because of the wheel base. Putting a little more front bias into one wouldn't bother me. It disturbs me a little bit when People tear apart good cars to modify them, but it is a personal possession.
I'd rather look at the final result as a finished work to evaluate the project. When I was a kid, people lived with old bathrooms and kitchens because they were in good shape. Now people tear out fairly modern stuff just to make something new.
In the end, however it got built, if you throw it off a cliff, will it fly? Some of these builds are very very good these days. Whoever these guys are, they have very good muses to inspire them.
