I finally have a car worthy of this thread.
This thing was handbuilt by a guy up in NY. IIRC he started the project because when he finally had enough money to buy his classic 911 dream car, his dreams of its performance far exceeded what a little 220hp aircooled flat six can muster. So he built this:

Its powered by an LS1, and pretty much every panel is custom. It's obviously chopped and has widened fenders, he even cut and fit the glass himself. I'm pretty sure the massive vent in the hood is functional and designed to force air over the radiator.
I'm not completely in love with the styling on the thing. I love the chop, flares, and wing, but I would've chosen a less busy wing on it. I dig the functionality of the air scoop but its a little gaudy to look at, and the Matte Black definitely wouldn't be my first choice. But with a car like this, its the work that goes into it that's really amazing and H&B worthy, not the small styling details.
