That is neat. I also haven't seen that. If I can find some time I might give the guy a call to see if he'd mind a visit.

With 4 dual carbs, I bet it'll pass everything but a gas station!

Never cared for those centerline wheels before seeing this, but that thing is downright cool.

Damn how do the doors stay shut? Would think it you floored it the doors would pop open. Pretty cool.

the rear section goes down, and locks in place then the door latches to the standard pilar latch.

Bit of a crazy build there, but like it. Pop the Webbers of and add a set of ITBs and solve the mileage issue, but man I bet that things sounds crazy good. You'd need some ear plugs.

Those carbs are weber DCNF

Those carbs are weber DCNF you could likely sell them to a Ferrari/Maserati owner and afford a set of Jenvey DCNF style TB's, maybe even the MS to power it.
For what they are the DCNF gets OK mileage...that's if you can keep your foot off of the loud pedal.

Looks pretty cool. I’m amazed that 2000lbs weight, which is about the same as a stock teener.

That is super custom. Builder had some serious mechanical and fiberglass skills. Those carbs look awesome.
