love it !
got the vanagon bodies to hack up too.
unfortunately it 'looks wrong' with the hyper short wheel base..
but it would be a horrible engineering challenge to move the wheels closer
to the ends to keep the proportions right and wheel base useful, for the
size of this van.
  Smaller wheels could help to fix that ..
or maybe the artist wanted the hyper short wheel base look. Heck, might as
well jack it up like a Monster Pick-up Truck. That would be a trip all
right.

and that is what I should do with my 'homeless' 450SLC  four -seat sports
car mercedes benz.  Thanks for the idea !   Get 5 foot tall tires and a tall
undercarraige under it. Chop the roof too, why not. I do like the chopped
look a lot.  And if anyone wants a vanagon body to play with for fun
projects like this, I got 'em.
