You think they could have cleaning the interior rear view mirror and paint-matched the roll bar connections before taking the "look what we did" pics!!! Looks like it was rushed at the last minute. (Ohh, and it still looks like crap-oh-la!)

I like the IMSA cars and many of the widebody cars from the 80s {first gen M3, AMG 500 or 560 SEC Widebody, and the JBA Dominator Mustang, for example}, but that car just looks WRONG! The S197 just does not look good as a widebody, IMO.

Sorry folks, but Galpin is in the middle of the biggest ghetto on the West Coast - the San Fernando Valley. It wasn't always this way, and Galpin did some trend-setting mods, some 40 years ago. Ghetto is hip around here, these days.
