I wonder what the welder and painter were thinking.

Looks like it's made of plywood.

It'd a diablo kit, in primer, that needs to be finished. It has a full tube frame and northstar V8.

So what's the real issue here?
No one's ever seen a primered kit car that needs to be finished before?

I did a Google search using the term; Lamborghini VT Replica.

Tubular Chassis
B and B Customs Chassis


Might make a nice car if you de-skinned the body and put an original body design on it.

The interior ain't bad, but that flesh colored fiberglass awaiting paint is just killing me.

Well, something's gotta hold all that bondo to the tube frame.

Looks like they're muffler straps.

The only reason to live with an ugly, uncomfortable car is that it has an interesting drivetrain. A Caddy engine and slushbox tranny don't qualify. If I had to have that engine, I'd have it in a Cadillac with a good heater, AC, and power seats.

Calling an unfinished turd of a kit car a Lambo? Putting Lambo badges on a kit car? I don't know, pick one....
