Going by the trim holes in the door i would suggest it was born a Satellite.?..??

Does this pic look stretched?
That may account for the top looking chopped , but I was looking at the fender.
Does't it look like there is too much room between the sidemarker light and the leading edge (nose) of the fender?
Maybe those beers I had tonight are making my eyesight questionable

I think Larry's right. I blew the picture up and it looks like there's a pie cut right where the vinyl top molding would normally be. That and the windshield pillar looks like it's angled back pretty good. Also note that the wing window is missing.
If the pic were stretched, I would think that the bike on the back wall would look a little longer as well.

Any updates on this car..?

My guess on the lack of wing windows is he's having 1 piece tempered side glass made or going with plastic..

OOPS, just noticed it was a resurrected thread...

From the PHR website: (Says the car was supposed to be completed for 2009?)
'' NASCAR performer
Todd Hayworth of Kannapolis, North Carolina, has been building cars since he could stand. Beyond that, Todd has been building Sprint Cup cars for the last 15 years, and has gained a lot of connections in that world. This came in handy when he shifted from NASCAR to Pro Touring and resto-mods for his shop, Knowbody's Sheet Werks. He's incorporated many race car parts into his builds to give them a little extra authenticity.

Todd is building this car for hardcore Mopar fan Jeff Griffen, of Mint Hill, North Carolina. Jeff plans to take his new toy to the 40th anniversary of the Superbird at Road Atlanta in the fall of 2009. This isn't just going to be a car show princess. With some tricky gearing, Jeff will be shooting for over 200 mph at Laurinburg-Maxton Air Force Base, the East Coast's answer to Bonneville.

"Has that thing got a Hemi?" you may ask. The answer is no, it's got something better. Todd worked his Sprint Cup magic and scored a clean 2007 R-4 Sprint cup motor. Due to Chrysler's block redesign in 2008, racers were looking to unload their 2007 models. These motors pack 742 horsepower and sound wicked. Above that, being able to say you run a NASCAR motor is pretty impressive.

To go with the real racer theme, Todd scored some old Trans Am spindle-mount wheels he got from a GT-1 racer buddy. The mix of traditional race-bred parts and modern performance translates into a really unique car.

On top of being a show car racer, Jeff's Superbird will be comfortable to drive, too. Jeff had bought a wrecked '04 Pontiac GTO to borrow drivetrain components for another build, and had nearly the whole car leftover. Todd couldn't let these parts go to waste, so he borrowed the interior and door handles to incorporate into the Superbird. It will be complete with A/C, so cruising to the shows and around town will be comfortable.''

 Man I'd kill to be able to do clean fab work like that. Mine will be shoot from the hip work back in the day and I will be using a 440 as a Hemi is out of reach.

If he is going for the nascar look then get some nascar wheels and make it look nascar
