Is there anyone that makes these?
I've seen lots of pictures of cars setup like this, looking for a vender.   Thanks.

I think most people just cut, fab and weld. If you're running leaf springs, check clearances I believe (I could be wrong on that).

That Speedkore Cuda picture you posted is such a high end custom with many true carbon fiber pieces, etc. they most likely fabbed it originally. IF they happened to do it in carbon for that car they may sell it as they are making their carbon fiber body panels available for purchase. Expensive but light.

I highly doubt the car pictured above is running leaf springs.

If you are running leaf springs, you need the bumps in the valance to clear the shackles. You COULD weld up the open slot and not run a bumperette but you need the bumps in the valance.

Thanks for the advice.

I would bet that car is on coil overs that are adjustable.  Remember most "photo cars" are not really drive-able.
