This car stopped me and my friend Sean Smith dead in our tracks at SEMA 2019 in the Toyo Treadpass. It's that good. In a sea of amazing custom cars this one was and is a stand out build. And the owner, builder couldn't be a cooler guy and not a builder by profession. He's a video game creator!
This build is going to blow you away so sit back and enjoy...

If only I was a kid again. 44yrs old and have always appreciated cool performance cars but the bug never bit me severly until about 3yrs ago. If I could go back I would learn/ take every car course I could, so I could do all my own wrenching. What a great hobby/pastime/career that would be. At my age, I may end up taking a bodyshop course yet as I think it would be a good pleasure to frustration ratio lol Really into vehicle body lines, wraps/graphics and exterior stuff. Think it would be meditative work for someone like me. Total eye for imperfection too, so I'd prob do gd work if the skill was within my grasp. Love your channel, your enthusiasm, and love be treated to these amazing cars and builds🤙

Shawn, great that you spent with Chris @ SEMA and then time to create such inspirational as well as enjoyable content - a wonderful choice! Also loved the undetected illegal 1” ‘slope’ and cried at the 2” bust - very cheeky!

Chris - just hope you’re as blown away as we are at your achievement! Your project brought many happy memories for me... FYI, I’m in east London, UK and a little older than you (and Shawn?!). As an exchange student, my first visit to US in ‘78 for 6 months included the goal of buying & driving a Mustang Fastback! Within 2 weeks I found a 1-owner ‘70 Fastback 302 3-speed auto in bright orange and had the time of my my life exceeding all of my expectations! Like you, I had a racing background, but in karts. My ‘72-‘76 project was to build my BMiniW Isetta - my kart for the road @ 44” track & 54” wheelbase! Even @ 118k mi, my Mustang would wheelspin thro’ 2nd gear in a straight line, drift around cloverleaf slips on & off local roads - both in the dry. I’m afraid I made a bit of a nuisance of myself, but no tickets...
