The front grille is terrible.

Oh wait, so is the rest of it.

Is that Billy Bob Thornton?

Billup · 04-25-2014, 12:13 PM

Not sure what I like more...., his fur coat in the first picture or the actual car.

I really want that fur coat.

ShocknAwe · 04-25-2014, 12:25 PM

Really cool that he did this, that being said, I'm not sure I have hated many cars more.

He definitely has some talent though. Needs a design consultant.

I wonder if the hood even opens and there's an engine. It may be best if there isn't because A/B foam is usually pretty flammable.
I bet he made that fur coat himself too.

That thing will float for sure if it hits the water. If it was painted brown it would be a perfect floater.

mike the snake · 04-25-2014, 08:10 PM

The foam used was simply to make composite molds. Once the shape was made, molds were pulled and the parts made from the molds. NO FOAM in the final product.

swanson · 04-25-2014, 08:23 PM

Whether you like it or not, that is damn impressive.

majin ssj eric · 04-25-2014, 09:50 PM

I think it looks pretty amazing to be honest. The grille is fairly hideous but the overall shape of the car is very nice. The interior also turned out almost "too good to be true" good as well...

I'm skeptical, especially for the interior. Once you get expanding foam into things it's very difficult to get out. What the pictures show is him covering the foam on the exterior with what looks like putty that he can sand. The next pictures show the finished product so it looks like he just sanded, sealed and painted. If he made molds and then removed all that foam down to the frame and attached new body panels that would be impressive but, a whole nother level of work. Are there pics?
