You mentioned you want something no one else has..Have you thought about building a "Day 2" type of car. This is a car using all period correct speed parts from the era-early style Lakewood traction bars, Cragars or slots, Sun Gauges, etc
A very popular trend among the street rodders right now is building '50 and '60's style Hot Rods with Flatheads, wide whitewall tires etc. I think this trend is going to go over big with the muscle car crowd down the road. Why? The current trends with street machines are changing every 2-3 years. As soon as you build a car with all the latest parts it is already dated. The magazines are pushing these new trends to help their advertisers sell parts. A muscle car, just like a '50''60's style Hot Rod, with the day 2 trend will always be in style.

The magazine editor of either Street Rodder or Rod & Custom in this months issue said the Nostalgia cars are the ones the spectators are flocking to see at shows. They are waking right past the hi-tech stuff.
