I can't tell if it's great or terrible, but it sure looks interesting.

Some people really should be supervised by adults more often

No radiator, lots of extra exhaust, motor mounted very low, seat really high.

So much weirdness.

Follow the flex line.  Radiator is just in front of the keg fuel tank

I want to know what that stub looking thing is, just above the glass packs on the driver's side

 

Edit: Stub thing is on both sides, just above the glass packs

That stub thing is the torsion bar tubes from VW air cooled Beetle suspension.

Seating looks akin to fetal position, knees bent and hugging your legs.

Yes, my first thought was that some people should just not be allowed to use the garage or tools. This thing seems to be built with parts he/she had available regardless of whether they would really work or not. Love the radiator in the back, engine in the front, windshield you probably cannot see anything forward with and the headers installed in reverse. I do like the keg gas tank.

With a Q45 drivetrain, I hope.
