INCREDIBLE!!!

What makes that truly amazing is, it had to be hand formed, and since it is polished metal... that means no filler or putty or anything!!!!

PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND POLISHED BY HAND!

Holy crap, that's alot of work. I hope somebody did a documentary on the forming of the metal for that.

And to answer you Xero, if it's got a buttload of clearcoat on it, it won't patina (turn green).
That is awesome looking.

Is it pure copper? How much?

Copper is very heavy.
I'm guessing it's a sheetmetal body that has had all it's imperfections lead filled, smoothed and finally just given a copper coating like is done in the chroming process. It is quite an achievement whatever way they did it! That looks insane!

It would be cooler if they laser carved it from a solid chunk of pure copper. Pimp!

yeah, but can you cook with it?

I wonder if we can read more into that?

is there a GT under that car?
wheelbase looks too short sicko. and there'd be engine clearance issues.

still, dang what a tease you are.

the ford 500 2extreme worked on with the ford gt powertrain shoudl be there tho
well, that kind of body work is too outrageous to not have something equally outrageous underneath. maybe its just another cammer car but man! wouldn't a GT drivetrain be incredible? even if its just an engine.

they could have gone with copper wheels. I think the wheels are a sign

Yeah, youre not a cook are you

You could get at least a grand for just the body at a scrap yard.

from jalopnik:

Of note is the nutball blown 5.4L mod motor plucked straight from a Ford GT. Oh, and the body panels were formed in a former MiG factory in Poland.
