Anyone ever seen one of these kit cars from the 60s?

Can't fit much worse than a car that has been wrecked... and Mike did a terrific job of getting that together. If you've ever messed with a car that's been in a bad accident and try to get things to line up, you'd know what I'm talking about. If anyone can get it to look good, I bet Mike could.

I've seen one that looked identical to that red one, same condition. It was sitting in the lot of a mechanic shop for awhile. Now I know what it is, pretty neat.
