Apparently anything is possible if you have enough time on your hands. Ironically he calls himself "Junkman"... It looks like he is enjoying himself and his creations. God Bless him...

Pretty harsh... The 356 actually looks like it was built well. The guy just has no taste!! I was going to ask if he could have raised the car up anymore, but then I followed the link to the other POS, and clearly he could have hahah.

Don't know if I like it or not, bit it looks well done and is an interetsting concept

In my darker moments I've been contemplating a Fiat 500, spaceframed with a mid mounted Hyabusa engine etc. etc.

As I recall there was not that much foot room stock , I wonder what the foot well is like now ?
One of the things I really like in a rear engine porsche is the wide open footwell .

Just cause you can do something , doesn't mean you should .

Cut him some slack - for what its worth, give the guy credit - its his vision, not mine, but I sure appreciate the work he has in it. I kinda like the way it looks - a very "phatt" 356.....

I am not in the sacreligious camp, he can do whatever he likes to his cars, but I must say it is just damned ugly. Way out of proportion. Looks like a PT Cruiser!
