Interesting idea to build a widened canyon carver over Shelby S1 guts.

Years ago, a German rodder did something similar in 1:1, widened a VW Rabbit (Golf), dropped it over Porsche 928 mechanicals.

Drivers on the autobahns were surprised to be overtaken by a Rabbit flashing its lights, then see it blast by them like they were stopped.

Nice! I've always wanted to take a Real Nash Metropolitan which is not much bigger than your model, and split it down the middle and add another car so that it is twice as wide. Then chop the roof and get it real low to the ground. My license plate would read "Phatboy"

 

Keep us updated on your work!

All those mods is turning this into a very nice looking ride.  Nice work man.

that was gunter artz, he did a few other similar cars and ended up at vw building concepts. I've been gathering the parts to do the golf and maybe the skyrocket another time.

Fat Austin, I love it! I've always wondered what I could do with that Shelby kit's chassis, and you've done it! Sweet!
