This mid-engine automobile was handcrafted entirely from scratch. It is not a rebody or kit car. The body was hand shaped using only hammers and dollies from flat sheet metal and is accented by handcrafted aluminum trim.
The SR-71 Blackbird played a key role in the theme of the automobile - influencing areas such as the concave surfaces flowing from the front fenders and into the turbos. The interior is loosely based around a cockpit with VDO gauges and brushed stainless dash and trim accents. Borrowing styling cues from classic European sports cars and American muscle cars of the late 60's the goal was to create an automobile that may have resembled a factory produced sports car from that era.
Some highlights include a frame integrated cooling system, side mirrors attached with no visible fasteners, '57 Ford Fairlane tail lights retrofitted with sequential LEDs(something unheard of in the early 2000's), polished period correct rims accented with charcoal centres and custom emblems.
If you follow any line/reflection there is no beginning or end - they are continuous. This inspired Nick to name the car Rhythm. The body is mounted on a custom tube chassis and powered by a reverse facing 400HP SBC350 Chevy V8 mated to a Cadillac Seville 4 Speed transmission.
