That's absolutely amazing build quality but I think the wheels are really rank and spoil it. I've never seen anything with build quality like that, it makes F1 cars look like kit cars

Superb build, the americans really know how to do custom cars to a mega high standard when they really have the budget for it.

Probably drives terribly TBH though, which kind of spoils it for me as I prefer go to show.

Chip Id actually say the opposite and say I bet the drive would be superb as its bassically 360 parts on a custom chassis, so would probably drive like a normal 360

Maybe wouldn't go as far as to say it'll drive like a normal 360 but i don't think it would drive too bad although im no expert so probably best not to comment on these things but even I can see the chassis work that's gone into that so it must have been built with a lot of thought into handling also??

They've narrowed it down, a lot by the looks of it:


But have kept all the standard front suspension setup, so the scrub radius and KPi etc is going to be completely wrong now, I reckon it will have totally ruined the handling as a result.

They have also lowered the chassis so far relative to the wheels that the front wheels now have massive camber on them, and if you look you can see the front bottom arms are pointing upwards towards the outside.

I dont think ANY thought has gone into the handling at all, its just not what they are into, so I think your assumption Daz that cause its been done pretty means they have thought about handling is totally wrong.

Getting a car to handle is about the angles involved not the parts used, and everything on that one is just totally wrong.

For what they want it doesnt matter, its just a show car to park up and look pretty, so it doesnt matter that it would drive like a sack of shite, I just think its a shame that much effort has gone into building something just to make it purely for looks and without it driving well too, if I owned something that awesomely well done from a fabrication point of view id want to drive it not just look at it, so would want it to actually work too.

I'd genuinely much sooner have andrewg's focus, which is a similar concept but done to work rather than just to look pretty.

Built to remotely handle it wouldn't be to this aesthetic standard, this is a complete and utter show car so all's relative. Just been done because they can, 360 setup in a 60's wagon was always going to be anti-engineering.

Amazing build quality as said!
