Nice thought and results but between buckets of filler and a truckload of steel tubing they must have added 2,000 pounds to the weight of the vehicle?

They needed Chip Foose over seeing the project.

Some is ok, most is poorly planned and executed.   :-\

It's an art project. Artists rarely think of the engineering implications. I do admit that it has very nice lines.

I think though that for practicality it would need to be built like a Pantera as a monococ chassis. That's the only way to keep the weight reasonable?
