I saw this at Motorex today. The exterior is to die for, the interior not so much. Each to their own, but I reckon a custom interior would have been much more attractive than a transplanted interior. Incidentally, we saw Howard Astill walking around recording a lot of the cars.

The interior is more custom then transplanted.
To make it all work with factory parts and styling is much harder then just doing a complete custom made interior.
I saw it at Motorex too. Pretty incredible thing to look at.

Just an update from Howard after prepping the car again for MotorEx.
Fair bit of work had to be done which is covered in other videos.

I can’t understand why.

Is Dennis Carpenter’s stuff still good? If so, why aren’t others?
