This was built by a guy around here, Carl Hacker. Very talented veteran. Full custom tube chassis, Northstar v8, 6 speed.

Yes, and not much else.

Pretty wild, looks like it would be a blast to drive.

Really wild and I like the idea but I wonder how much exhaust fumes he gets inside the cabin?

I've talked with Carl about the car, he's a friend of my employer, and it's very well thought out. His biggest gripe is the steering is very responsive and the car doesn't weigh anything,  so its kinda darty.He street drives it when he can, but he's older and dealing with health issues from his time in the service.

This is as wild as it gets. Perhaps an even greater achievement was getting approved for the plates. 😆

I'm honestly not sure if he had any trouble. I didn't when I registered my motorcycle after chopping it up. Insurance, on the other hand, was a whole different matter. Laws vary state to state.
