So, what does badass engine build mean?

Turbo, Centri, PD, N/A?

If you're never going to sell it, then it doesn't matter what it is, just make it what you want! If you see it at all as an investment, leave it alone. I'm guessing my car gave you the itch to shave another engine bay lol?

My 98 Saleen S-281 is a modified as they get. And got a legit 75k offer for it from a customer. Dont know any 96-98 Saleen getting remotely near that. I paid 6 for the car and sold 4500 in stock parts off it. The rest is my work so I’ll bank on that if I ever wanted to sell. Which will never happen.

Absolutely beautiful. Do you have any of those SA-10 hoods for sale?

That's what I'm talking about.

The best bodywork tools are hand made or repurposed items.
