There is a full article on it in "Wood" magazine. It is an interesting design, it is actually a monocoque design and IIRC it is a Northstar.

So can you get wood monthly or ?? :lol:

fwiw that thing screams fire hazard. I'd hate to get into a wreck aswell.
It whistles while it WORKS.

I would build it, Cadillac gave them the engine and drivetrain and I'm sure they have money coming from somewhere besides their own pockets.

There is still a lot of metal in there so don't brush this off so soon, I think it is pretty amazing.
