1) I like it. Overall. It's definitely not practical...which takes me to #2....
2) Where the hell is the radiator??!
3) If he's getting 220hp out of a 20R, even a built one, then I guess the black magic he used makes a radiator unnecessary.
But it's still cool...
Looks like a hose heads under the engine and towards the back...
...of course, super cool would be a total loss system that would shoot steam out of some sort of chimney. (hey, if you are going to be impractical, you might as well go all the way)
The Q&A says he plumbed it back into/under the bed and that it doesn't run hot.
Sweet little ride - I'd drive it.
LOVE IT! Very cool.
neat looking, but I would prefer a flat tailpanel than one that says "CUSHMAN"
Man, for years I've wanted to build an Austin Seven based hot rod.
But to keep it "British" use a Rover V8.......
I think it's pretty darn cool.

to get that kinda power out of a 20r.. I think you need to run alky but i could be wrong..
nice looking, but driveable?

What's it weigh, 900 pounds? 
Well, I'm glad it's not located near me or I would be in big trouble.
Doesn't his ebay listing sound like some JDM Yo guy only using a different but equally stupid type of slang?
Lowered and chopped cars are very cool, but this thing is ridiculous.
Not my thing.

And 3" wide tractor rims with motorcycle tires on them. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much, I don't think anyone will be using this to drive to work everyday.
Besides, you drive a car like this, you will drive REALLY carefully (especially after the first attempt at slowing down).
How cool! I love it!
