Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

My spidey sense (and the file name in the url you copied and pasted) tell me it's a 39 Studebaker.

Way too many accents. Loose all the rear and black stuff. Should have matched the air outlets in the fenders to the same shade as the other bright work, and used a satin metalilic instead of the straight flat they did use.

Holy hell....I'm crying a manly river! That's an expensive pile of parts!

Sandro's car... Maybe left in Africa? (or worse) That rear framework is pretty embarrassing design wise, actually...regardless of what may be missing. Try posting that on Gt40's.com or even a Locost forum, as your own and you'd be treated *very* patronizingly. Actually, could that have been an add -on?, turned into a dune buggy toy? There hardly seems room under the lines of hte body. I have several pics at least of an original, but too late tonight to check

I dunno....kinda looks like the top inboard mounts of the rear crash bar could mount to the tabs on the corner of the square frame.... it's about the right height and distance from the window. The square frame is a bit..um..hacked looking.

if you google lancia stratos engine bay you'll find that that is how they were made, its crude but i guess it works

Back when cars were brutally simple.

The DP01 was the best looking formula car in modern history. Politics was the only reason it was mothballed.

The door looks like it's a different color and it might be sagging a lil

If I'm going to nit-pick, I'm not wild about the black trim around the vent window. I think I would prefer if it was removed completely

Wheel style is wrong in several formal and informal design senses, and would not complement the car in any size. Rear wheels are way too large. Rear 1/4 looks like someone removed too many design details. Stripe? Emblems? the little round light, right? Too bare, anyway. Reveals that the design needed a longer wheelbase. Would look better with the rear axle & wheel well opening moved back 3-5 inches, and the opening raised up level with the front, and the rear end sat down so as to be level. But I was born in 1972, so what do I know. ;)

I don't know what you all are on about. I see nothing wrong here.

Looks a hell of a lot better than these...

Dude, I 100% for sure thought that Honda F1 car was a joke.

So now I am sad. I long for the days of yore.

OK, same deal, that one is ugly too.

Check out what a nude 308 looks like in the projects section of mat.fi and they look very similar. Like someone had a MIG and an endless supply of 1" square tubing and was told to make something to hold a Ferrari body up.
