Did they squeeze an engine in there? Did they take the two middle cylinders out? Somebody spent a lot of time on that build. I'm impressed.
They cold have shaved out about 8 inches per side and the valve covers would still clear the tires but just barelyQuote:

I was thinking that would be a cool little electric car. Do up the outside like a restomod prewar Beetle and outfit the interior with glass dash and other modern techno stuff to make the perfect around town car for a dystopian future.
It is cute, as long as you don't try to go around corners too fast:)
