Hard top looks like Norm's. Sky Coupe? That's it?
V-8 with over 700rwhp driver will be DMac that is already old imho  :D

I believe you nailed it Kelu!  In any event it will be fun to see how it does in Long Beach?  It certainly is one of a kind!

If I look closely at the picture I get dizzy... if I keep staring at it I see a sailing ship with pirates on board and a whale in the water underneath.  Is that right or should I keep staring?  My eyes crossed about 5 minutes in to the staring... I hope they don't stay that way forever.

That top is not Norm's, or it is Norms AND has been modified quite a bit from the bottom of the windows down, and the spoiler is much different than Norm's.  Here is a pic of Norm's coupe top:

That is the worlds only Sky Coupe and yes Norm did the top for them, Norm does a lot of stuff with the Drifters or did. I guess the Sky Coupe is all that is left in the pro ranks. By the way the 700 rwhp is a conservative number but all I will admit to. The car weighs almost nothing, say half of what a stock Sky would weigh.

Okay, so my next question is "Will Norm make this Coupe top available for the rest of us?"

IIRC he said after he will finish with the race version he will build a street version of this hard top.

Norm needs to open a mega store... he just can't keep up with all of us... perhaps Normart?  Norms Club? Normco?  Narmet?

SA- No sign of Moby in ages.  I hope he's ok.  I might PM him and see if he got lost on the ice road...
