So, the temptation to the Hot Rods to Heck (lol) got the better of a builder with a lot of parts laying around - turned a bare whalebone abandoned C1.5 four-headlight car into a spot on replica of the movie car.

Was not rocket surgery by any means - in fact, a license to sidestep an expensive resto.

He had to chase some rarer bits, but in the end, the car gets all kinds of comments, etc, and riles up the purists.
