Nice car, video, and interview.  Very nice.

Why (after spending >$10,000,000 [a wild guess but probably close] on that beautiful car) did he not fill the two front bumper slots?

Nice car and nice video. Am I confused or is that back bumper from a car older than 1972?

Seen this today.  Thought they did a great job very cool car.  I like the interior very Singer Porsche style.

Rear bumper looks like a euro shorty. Thats not a 73 bumper.  I would like that bumper, among other things.

The bumper slots remain open for the tow hooks, we took them off for the filming and around town driving.

We saw this car at the BMW takes flight event, insane attention to detail, definitely some serious dollars spent.

Very nice build. 

Just wondering, is this the one in your sig marked as sold? 

I can't imagine something this nice going up to that large of a audience and not getting a few stout unsolicited offers.

"Do you mean > $100,000?"

 

Nope.  As stated:  "...after spending >$10,000,000..."  I was being factious.  It's a compliment to the owner of a well-done mod'd car I'd like to drive.

Awesome build. The attention to detail on your car is outstanding! 

 

Whats Jay like in real life? I love that he's 100% interested in everything you have to say, and clearly just enjoys doing his videos. I'm he doesn't "need" to them, but he clearly just likes to chat to other enthusiasts.

Did he give you a tour of the garage?

To clarify...I'm Shad the guy who managed the build, fabrication, and assembly of this project for Dorian, the owner and gentleman you saw in the video with Jay Leno. Dorian and I worked together building his car to specs and appearances he wanted using the pieces and parts he sourced or had me make. Great guy, knows his 2's. 

When it came time to shoot the car with Jay Leno, I opted to stay home and go to sleep as we pulled nearly an all nighter getting the car show ready and being on camera is definitely NOT my thing. You can all thank me later for sparing you the flop sweat and stutters.

dual webers, 292 camshaft, 3.90 diff, 11 gal fuel cell, 320 overdrive trans, and only a 100 mile driving range?  OUCH!

I wondered as well… that’s a lot of carb for a 292, and - perhaps - running rich.

Well-executed build, Shad. -KB

Was it not only 100 miles because the petrol tank is so small?

Really nicely built. The conversation was heard surprisingly well considering lack of interior and soundproofing.
