Maybe it's just me, but does this baby look like a PhotoShop, or what? In know it's not, because it's heading to auction. That said, it reminds me of the shorty VW buses people made back in the '70s. What do you think? More pics here.

Box is to short for my liking. Looks cartoony to me. If that is a word.

Yep, he built another similar, but I think with a crew cab.

I love that! it's a COE cab, really cool concept, but maybe another color that doesn't sear my retinas....

If it's not a word, it should be!

I'm not a big fan of green, except for Meadow Green of course.
I kind of like it. I would make it more level, I'm not sure the rake even though it is slight, works for the coe.
I prefer the original wheels as well over the newer ones.

Now my daughter would love the color. I bet she would drive it around. It's an order of magnitude above my budget though.
