“Restoration”?

Maybe “Restomod”?

Is that the new XKSS … er … XKESS?

The flowers are nice.

What’s with the VIN number? Is that also customized?

Yes, we’ve seen worse…

My first thought was “What is the teardrop bulge in the bonnet needed for?”

Several photos later (first one of the engine): DAYUUUM
Then - why is the distributor sitting sooo high
Then - the bulge is NOT aligned with the dizzy. WTF.

DAYUUUM

From the photo of the inside of the bonnet it appears that the teardrop bulge is simply riveted onto the surface of the bonnet - the original bonnet panel is intact, so the bulge serves no purpose whatsoever, other than slowing the car down a little…

To each his own… except on Wednesdays.

One man’s vision is another person’s nightmare.

Carpets look like they have been thrown in to stick where they can.

I saw this one at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale this year.





This little one was pretty cool! I was considering getting it for my daughter but my wife shut that idea down





quickly.

Full safety harnesses… No head restraints.

How interesting.

The driver has a D-type style head bulge behind the seat. Passenger’s on their own apparently.

C’mon. Admit it. Y’all would jump at the chance of taking any of these cars for a couple of laps around the block, or track. The quality of the work looks pretty good, if the quality of the aesthetic isn’t, um, to everyone’s taste.

It’s half size for kids, or people over 6 ft ???

it’s small like for kids but probably adult driven. It looked like a lot of room inside with the steering wheel in the center.
