Someday, while I still can, I'd like to drive one of those. It wouldn't have to be "blown" - I'd be happy with stock.

The builder went above and beyond in his attention to detail. Did you meet the builder?

The Grey Poupon mustard

I can't say that I've ever even imagined a blown Rolls! They're pretty cool to drive and sit in, but nothing too crazy. That one would be much different though! They're a little better (interior) made than Bentleys, Maseratis, Lambos, Ferraris, etc. though.

Thanks again! I didn't meet the builder at SEMA, but somebody did respond to my post on another site. They said the car was built by Little Joe's Rod Shop in Denver, NC.

The attention to detail is incredible (leather covered fuel cell, nitrous bottles, and battery boxes) However, one thing that I think looks cheap is the instrument panel, and instruments.

They certainly tried to maintain the Bentley vibe, even with all the wild modifications. But I agree that all the race gauges and dials look cheap, they appear to be the same that we would put in and are found in drag cars. But then again, I doubt there's a market for luxury boost gauges lol
