Why would he need copyright permissions? The only thing on that car that says 'Ferrari' to me is the 'F1-style' window openings. Otherwise... it looks pretty much home-built to me.
It's disappointing some of the comments posted on the article. The butthole 'dontbother' picked on the car saying it looked like it was designed by some kid in the '80s.
Yeah - well, it was hand-built by the same guy in the 21st Century - which is a helluva lot more than can be said for the Saturn sedan that bonehead 'dontbother' is probably driving.
If I had the money and time (and the skills as well), I'd build my dream car from the '80s as well. Although I would've executed lots of things on the car differently, I got nuthin' but props and respect for the guy for following his dream and building exactly what he wanted.
I just wonder if it's 'street-legal.'
