That was also a LOT of work to get it to where it is!

This.  It actually looks really well done.  Not a damn clue what the end goal was, but they worked hard to get it there.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that

This needs an iron duke behind the seats and should be called the "x1/merica"

I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't fully understand it, but go on you for putting in the effort.

Um, I kinda like it.

If the roof was sloped a bit more towards the back and the rear window was more conventional, it might actually work pretty well.

As it is...  ooph.

Remember how a bunch of the cars in The Road Warrior looked like they started out with something normal and then someone with a lot of fiberglass and dreams would come up with a front clip that was just off?  That's what I think of when I look at the front of this.  And it's all so custom that it seems like a major project to fix the situation.  Maybe someone with a massive 3d printer and the drawings for the clip from a 1st gen Firebird or '64 Tempest?

You might get something like this if you asked ChatGPT to show you what a Buick Reatta would have looked like if it was made in the 60s (at least in profile)...

What if Pontiac of Australia made a TR8?

It looks like the offspring of a carnal meeting between a Firebird, an X 1/9, and meth.

Wait, is this an El Camino too?  I thought the trunklid just wasn't on the car.  Now I think it's a little tiny truck bed!

It’s kind of everything: pony car, cruiser, pickup. Fun for the whole family. (Assuming said family is small.)
