Incredible work on the chassis and body, Let down by the details though.
Bigger front brakes would a) work better, and b) help the "vintage" appearance at first glance,
Those exhaust headers could have elegantly followed the wing line, rather than dropping straight down and ending in a right angle. They could also have been covered so as not to give away the V10 until you put the hammer down.
And the interior, especially the dashboard, was phoned in. Those gauges are too small and too modern, the shape is awful, and the finish more like garden furniture than a Rolls Royce.
Don't think much to the off-the-shelf hot-rod steering column and 60's style steering wheel either.
