I'm glad I don't have to share the roads with cars modified in that fashion.
What I would expect is any non-standard suspension configurations would be engineer certified before you could run it on a public highway. Where the heck are the brakes on the Buick with the wire wheels? A single caliper on the drive shaft? There's an automotive advancement for you. Grrr. Les

Inboard brakes, as long as you don't break an axle are OK, Old Audis had them too. I must admit by all accounts they were a PITA to change the discs.
The problem with a single disc on the propshaft, especially with an open diff is if you are in a low traction situation, I have seen one wheel rotate backward, allowing the vehicle to move with the brake set. Not a desired situation. Best Les
