I am not generally into customs, but this is going to be one very striking car. My tendency would be not to go overboard with the exterior -- the lines say it all. I would hate to see any of J.C. Whitney crap, you know, fake side pipes, superficial stick-on chrome, etc. which is too often the case with Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics. I do not think you'd go in that direction anyway.

Pardon my ignorance, but is it possible to boost the output of a Packard straight 8 by say, adding a blower? I have never seen it done before. Mated with a 5-speed stick shift and a 9-inch Ford rear end, the car should be able to keep up with most modern V-8s, wouldn't you say?
