Hi,
Third picture of the first car....
Does the steering wheel have an odd angle left to right?
Maybe it's 'tilt' that's been made into a 'swivel'?
Regards,
Alan

Do you have any more interior photos of the C1/4? (C0.25? )

I'm curious what he did to get the "retro look". I can see a hint of it from far away.

A C3 body on a C6 chassis would be pretty choice.

Isn't Car #1 just a C4 chassis & interior with a C2 body??? [not sure what the doors are] If so (except for his choice of red interior with a yellow/black car ), I think it was done quite nicely. A black interior would have been much better, IMO.

Car 1 has a C4 chassis for sure... I'd recognize that front layout anywhere.

Car 2 claims to have a C4 chassis as well.

Definitely cool, but the C2 interiors are part of the appeal for me... except maybe the lack of headrests in the bulk of em.

Those are all the pictures I took of those 2 vehicles.

The interior on the yellow one seemed to be very cramped. The seats looked to be at a slight angle and everything kind of appeared like it barely fit.

The black one seemed to be pretty well done except for the rear window. If I remember correctly, there wasn't one. Looked like the car was 98% complete and then the owner stopped.

Maybe that's so you can steer with your left hand and shift with your right!

A black interior and a lower stance would do wonders for the yellow car.

It's hard to warm up to the rear window treatment on the black car.

A ton of work in building both of these though.
