Found on another forum:
aluminum re-body of a Toyota 2000GT
Unbelievable fabrication skills.
The whole rebuild reminds me of a Ferrari 250 owner who tracks his car. When asked about damage, he indicates that he can have any body part re-created.

No, it's a rather excellent display of broken English.
Neat project, but if I was going to put that much effort into a car, it would have to be something more precious that one of those.
OK I see it is a REBODY.

That guy sounds great! He's even offering to pass on his skills. If I was 20 years younger and not married, I'd go to California and be his apprentice.
How could you not love a guy who posted this:

I would trade my mediocre diction for his fabricating skills in a second

I'm going to cry, that was beautiful.
Check the other links on that page. Here's an interesting bit - wheel rims bolted directly to a brake rotor. Both of these are from Panhards.
with three more lugs, that could be an early-'60s pontiac fullsize.
