There have been a few. One was an awesome fabrication job it had a v8 fitted and the rear end was amazing. The other was a 5th gen in a magazine.

There was another prelude with a full wide body kit and black. Its a full out race car though only track use....but its sick

The inline-x 4th gen is by far the best being mid-rear and turbo. The big mike 5th gen wasn't great at all IMO because of the solid rear end.

Yes, it's an incredible amount of fabrication and money to do right, it could require a year or two of your time and/or a lot more money if you're paying someone to fabricate.

Pretty cool project IMO. Too many people just logon to HT and build something that someone else has done 50+ times.

If you don't have a thick wallet, or can't weld with your eyes closed - it's time to wake up from whatever dream you're having.

A friend of mine had a 3rd Gen with a carb'd 350. :D

Didn't cut the firewall or the floor pan until he got to the back seats.

saw one that was featured in superstreet awhile back. pretty sure you can read the article online. last i heard the guy who owned that 1 was trying to sell it, so if you're lucky maybe you can buy it off of him.
