Yes, I know that there are all sorts of ways to find fault with this....the steering column is completely wrong, no side-mounted lever gearshifts or brakes, the wings don't extend/retract, where are the propellers, the wife has an abnormal fixation, etc.etc.etc.

What captured my attention more than anything in this is that it's a story of incredible love and devotion of this man for this lady.  He taught himself to weld and apparently did all of the work himself, spending the better part of four years to do it.  He's made his wife completely happy and the car is road-legal.

I'd have thought it would have been easier to build the thing from scratch, but I'm impressed with how well he achieves the look of GEN11.

BTW, I don't think the movie used any petrol-powered cars. I recall it used at least one butane-powered one, and I don't know that any of the others were powered at all.
