The rear tires stick out too far.

He probably needed the wider tires / rims just to keep from spinning the tires pulling away from every stoplight.

Similar lines to the Viperceptor.

I agree. Also, it’s sitting far too high, the Viperceptor was 4.5” lower which was just right.

There is a lot of time that goes into one of these creations. You will never please everybody or for that matter the majority it as long as you are pleased that is what counts. I can see a lot went in to the build I applaud you for stepping up. RacerJoe

It also goes to show how advanced the design was in the 60's when the basic shape is still there nearly 60 years on. Front looks a bit like the Dodge Challenger too!
