Worked on it in his living room?!?! Obviously was not married. I wonder how he got it out when done.

Must have built a retractable wall in his house. 🙂 It is a very interesting car but the rear end styling needs a re-do to a sleeker look and the "dagmars" don't suit this car at all. Kudos to the man for his ingenuity though!
