Pretty bonkers build. Seems they pivoted from their 1st offering and added a powertrain upgrade. Well done.
The attention to detail is indisputable. (sans painting over the chipped pumpkin) The amount of time and money put into this is undeniable. The choice of finishings/design is subjective.
One option that should be considered is the carbon
fiber-ness of the WB body kit. This elitist term/claim has been used in their past offerings yet no clarity had been offered as to whether its truly carbon fiber through and through.
The kit appears to be a slightly modified Duraflex kit wrapped in a single layer of carbon fiber.

Other than that, considering today's shop rates, a quarter mill seems about right to replicate this build. The resto-mod trend has always been to shove a contemporary power plant into a classic. But besides cobbling an auto-box bell housing together, there really isn't anything bespoke about this example, unless you consider grandma's shelving paper wrapped interior wood that.
If time is money, there is a lot of it here.
