Well, I know you see it all the time, but I think the Blue Angel looks awesome.

Sleeper cars can be so much fun. I remember some years ago a guy put a World War II Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine from a Spitfire in an actual Rolls Royce. From the outside it looked like a dead stock Rolls Royce. He said it was hilarious to pull up behind a Ferrari or Porsche doing 180 on the autobahn and flash his brights for them to move over. I can only imagine what Ferrari drivers must have thought looking in their rear view mirror and seeing that barn door front end of a Rolls flashing its brights at them at that speed LOL. And then blow past them. It could cruise at 200 mph. Of course I think it got something like 6 mpg but he was rich and didn't care.

That would be fun to see on You Tube...lol I am sure he wasn't too worried about his mpg.

Similar to that, but not really a sleeper - Charlie Lillard in California has a 55 Chevy with a 3,000 hp Rolls Royce engine mounted in it he got from an Australian guy. There is a clip of it here:
Another crazy setup.

I can't wait to see what yours can do. I'd love to see it if you'll be showing it anywhere in southern California.
It's just north of LA right now and will be driving around a bit sometime probably in August to road tune it. It'd be fun to see you.
