I was able to see the photos too.
Did he really put a second set of side doors on it? IIRC, my VW Bus only had
the doors on the right side.
It's a fairly rare model with doors on both sides. I think they made
that one for his mom.
One thing for sure: You're going to need earplugs to drive it. That thin little
wall and clear glass dividing you from that engine is not going to keep
interior noise under 150db... :)
I think that it's only meant to be driven a quarter mile at a time.
Hopefully it is built on a frame with a bit better suspension than the VW
Transporter had. Or it's just a blaster for drag racing...
His rail is rather unusual, they put the driver all the way up front to
keep the front wheels on the ground:

This should show a few more photos of the car

The link worked for me.
I wonder what sort of frame this vehicle rests on. I don’t see a lot of
structural tubing. Probably a death trap.
I don't remember. It used to be up on a lift, I don't think I ever got any
photos of the underside.
