that is almost surreal in its looks. Absolutely beautiful. I love the engine, especially the huge wing of an air intake that looks like an aliens head sticking out the back of a polished supercharger, superb!!

Looks like an early 90's episode of Star Trek in there. Stunning amounts of detail though and you can tell every little thing has so much thought put into it.

The details on it are amazing and the build quality is out of this world, but that front end is horrid they've added curves into every surface and it's make it look too blobby and makes the wheels look too small. I think it would look better with a phantom style front end, accentuating the sharper lines to make the front look lower. Though the stock front is still my favourite. Stock front Phantom '37 Matt

And found a side view of it - looks really dumpy to me whereas the 37's I posted above look like they're going fast when they're standing still. Matt

One day Stealthstylz we'll find a car that you love unequivocally.... and then the world will end.
I'd be quite happy to drive the car as it... it'd still be one of the best modified cars in the world to me. Hurrah for Troy he is awesome.

Pics of your immaculate custom '37 stealthstylz?
Absolutely amazing, beyond words, in fact at first I thought the first shot was a rendering.

I'd happily drive round in it, but wouldn't buy that particular car if I had the money to do so.

Wow. You cannot fault that workmanship and level of finish.
(Can you see what I did there?)

Yeah Trepanier would be my go to person if I wanted a high $ hot rod building. TBH this is the first car of his that hasn't quite hit the mark for me.

This looks too perfect, which sounds like an odd thing to say, but it's true. Something about the photography makes it look fake, unreal somehow, and I find that jarring.
I dread to think how many hours have gone into this car, it really is astonishing, regardless of personal taste. You'd have to pay to get yourself customised to sit in it though, a standard, non-modified person would look like sack of potatoes sat in it.
N.B. I'm assuming these are photographs of a real car, I could be wrong.

That is awesome. I find some of the graphics a little fussy. But meh, its a WIN from me.
Troy Trepanier has to be my favourite builder of these kind of high end cars. He gets it in a way some of the others seem not to. Pretty much all his stuff is all kinds of awesome.

Blimey Charlie, that is beyond beautiful!
I’m generally not a fan of this kind of ‘modern’ look but that just works a treat on every level.
Especially like the same size (I think…) wheels and tyres (or tires, as we’re talking about an American vehicle) used here. The colour (color) choices are great too, work really well as a complete palette.
Big fan of Troy’s since his Bumungous Buick.

I think the finish is spectacular, the photos make the workmanship and detail look flawless. I like how the whole design of the car flows.
But I can also agree that given the money, its not something that I would drive.
