About

As you may have seen in the video, my name is Corbin, and I have a project car the likes of which has never been seen before. A car that will speak of the old world while embracing the new, and hopefully allow me to be an ambassador for the next generation of enthusiasts.



Basically, I'm trying to combine this

Buckingham Palace in case you didn't know

With this:

But without all the stickers

What I aim to build is my recently acquired 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, and make it into a JDM-inspired twin-turbo continent-eating luxury bruiser, then take it around the country and hopefully the world, filming the local car scene wherever I go through the eyes of the contacts I've made. If I get overfunded, the money will go toward taking this machine as far as possible.

These contacts came out of the last car, which can be seen approaching a million views here:

I was humbled by the many people who said they took inspiration from this car, and also by reaching number 8 on the front page of reddit, and I thought this would be a good chance to double down and try for something much more ambitious. This Rolls will still have some modifications the world has never seen done like a roof exhaust and "classy" stenciled in gold leaf on a wheel spoke, but will also be a more thorough rework than the Seven.

I am in contact with the crew at Drive, and this next build when completed will definitely be featured, and every backer will at the very least be recognized.

Even if you don't want to donate, feel free to ask me any questions, here are the two updates I had before running out of money, and for photos, a build blog tumblr.

Thank you for reading, and drive on.



New: Where does the money go? Well I have a basic spreadsheet, there are more items like radiator and harnesses that I haven't put, even so the price is nudging 23k.
