They say they are building those with Fords blessing but obviously the blessing does not include the fact that they stay to the original design! I can see going with a different motor but not the complete far out suspension nor the 180,000.00 price tag. That is just freakin, crazy.

Negative. Panels only. However, it would be pretty cool to make one out of stainless steel. M-151 SS?

Can you imagine that welding nightmare?! Backpurging all of those welds?!!!! It would be cool to have a vehicle that would never rust though. There would be a serious investment to the buyer in tooling like carbide drill bits and several 320 cubic foot bottles of Argon for purging and LOTS of home made purging rigs. HMMMM, Business importunity? Hey Guy?
