Since I saw that other post about the YT build of a Elky, figured I would add these if nobody has seen them

hmmmm, odd mishmash there but it certainly stands out!
60s Mustang chin spoiler
60s Camaro hideaway headlights grille with a deep inset similar to a 60s Challenger
442 hood scoops adapted to fenders
tailgate is now a trunklid from an 80s (?) Monte Carlo SS
tailgate wing looks like something stolen from Richard Petty's 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix race car
trailing strakes underneath resemble something from an Italian or Japanese sports car
It looks cool. I wouldn't go fast in it tho; bodywork might come apart/peel off or introduce destabilizing forces. Hopefully he finishes it... hand made show car. Don't look too closely kinda job.
Without even reading the comments, I was thinking this is just a full sized Hot Wheels iteration. Then when I read the comments, it appears I was not alone.
I must admit, the dedication to this project is there. I have to agree with doood on this one. Don't drive it over 40 mph, thus, the twin turbos are kind of a waste, IMO. Also, hope it's got hydraulic suspension because the first bump is going to wreak havoc on those wheel openings.
Sure hope he knows what he's doing. Looks interesting so far.

I love it (at its core). I'd change a few things, but I love the style they're going after. I feel like I recognize that shop from pics of a place that sells fiberglass parts online...
