Didn't someone post something about that car a year or two ago[?]
I'm sure I've seen it before somewhere.

Is there a propeller in the rear for this amphibian? [:D][:D]

It does look interesting.

<font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Maybe it's just the angle of the pic but the front of that car reminds me a little bit of a Ford GT40, I would need to see more but I think I might like that nose job, but I'm not so keen on the colour, I don't like the red seats and I hate those bloody awful wheels.</font id="Comic Sans MS"></font id="size2">

I like it as a starting point but as with most projects it doesn't match the swag line. Needs more work there. The seats match the alloys but not the rest of car. Throw them out and try again.

They forgot to graft on the tail fins off a 1960 Plymouth. Once that's done and the car painted a pale, pastel green with a white top, I'd buy it.
