Close. Same company, same cc but V-Twin.
VTX 1800R with a Harley Street Glide fairing (8 speakers and amp, great stereo), 4 piece Ultimate seats and custom fenders and fibre glass bags. Over 8 feet long and yes....heavy. No reverse but plenty of forward 
Some more pics from the illustrious Mr. Hines. These are of the body in the body shop being prepped for paint.

Lane were did you land on color ? Cannot wait to see this come alive
No kidding Joe, we h0pe it is done for Carlisle. Awesome project.
Oslo Blue. My wife and I looked at a bunch of pictures and it was both of our favorite.
Bumpers or no bumpers?
Grey, beige or egg plant plum color interior? I bet a nice plum would look great with grey carpet.
It's going to look sharp, Lane! How wide a tire/rim will the back accommodate?
Oxblood leather interior, probably with oatmeal carpet. No bumpers or side deco. Raydyot aluminum racing mirrors on the fenders and (probably) leather hood straps.
I believe the largest tire that can fit in back is a 195, Al. Going for Vredestein SportTrac 5s on Stan’s recommendation. Wilwood disk brakes on all four wheels.
Still working on the wheel choice, but leaning toward color matched steelies with Beck hubcaps.
Bob has Raydyot on the doors why the fenders?

Exactamundo!
Good call, Lane.
My JPS has the mirrors out on the fenders, about 6" in front of the windshield posts. I hated them there when I got the car, but they grew on me the entire time I had the car. They were super functional out there, and looked really cool.
If I built again, I'd get them mounted in the same place.

I second Stan's recommend on those Vreds. I didn't know much about tires but I sure like mine after one year of driving on them. Congrats on your car's progress, Lane. It's going to be a winner big time. Sure must be nice to specify what you want.
Sorry I am not a fan of the fender mounted mirror.

We don't need to be. It's Lane's car.

Choice is always very personal :0)
Hey Lane,
Thanks for the update. I’m in a race with Carey and co. Who finishes first, the car or my garage? I hope I win since I currently have no room for the car!
Keep the pics coming.
@Ron Mullis I keep looking for your picts Ron? It would be nice to see your colour choices etc.
Here’s what I’m going for:

I'm putting my money on you and Maddie finishing first, as long as the winter isn't too bad.
Lane, I'm sure you and Pam are going to love this car. Looking forward to seeing it completed. And I need to mention that I let you driver my Spyder, so..... .
I have no idea what you’re talking about, Danny 😈
Very nice Ron, are you going with the stock bumpers or a euro bumper? Nice colour combo.
My daughter looked at it and says hey dad car with those bumpers looks like a bumper car... Go figure. no offence.
Hey @chines1! I think I found the perfect engine for my Coupe!
I can get you a LOT more power, cheaper, but can't match that sound...
@Ron Mullis and @Lane Anderson — if you guys need access if reference colors from a respected Porsche library, let me know. Willhoit is a good buddy of mine. I think I got a stone gray spray out card for Marty G’s speedster.

ive got a 17 Por CS,color is graphite blue metallic,close to urs ifn ur not period authentic color oriented.
Ron’s going with my favorite grey, but my wife and agreed (for once) that mine will be Oslo Blue. I figure Wilhoit knows what to provide. I have a sample from them already, but thanks for the offer, Anand.

I wonder if that Ferrari engine will fit in my Alfa:-)

Nah. It’s designed for mid-engine placement. Sorry Marty, but this one’s mine. 😬
@Ron Mullis Ron are you also building a mid engine coupe or is it going to be rear engined?
Really think that V-8 belongs in a Fiero with a body kit just in order to idle into Cars & Coffee & make the F-car guys' heads explode. I think this one would be the funniest:
That is the only Fierlamborrari in existence. Thank the Lord!

If that is true, perhaps The Quail will have a special space available for it for the 2020 show.
Oslo Blue?
Geez @Lane Anderson, couldn't you find a Swedish blue? ;-)
Latest update from the Marvelous Mr. Hines: "Drip rail fabrication and installation. May not look like a lot but its nearly 2 weeks worth of work to do a proper drip edge/rain gutter. Driver side is done, passenger side will be done middle of next week."
I have to agree that - at least at first glance - it doesn't look like a lot, but when you take a closer look at the work you can see the attention to detail, particularly at the leading end. The body surface looks almost ready for paint and most of the interior panels are in.
