Correct, though it had been mentioned on here before somewhere along with a few other pics of the car, pretty sure Ian "Elvis" Davis's (Think that's his name off the top of my head) newspaper interview is posted on the forum somewhere as well. Though the newspaper twisted his words a little to sound like he built cars for the movie, where as he more supplied some components for the cars (he does builds awesome hot rod bodies through to complete turn key rods for customers though)
It is the same car well at least the chassis and engine from that car, the painted body was given back and a new body supplied. Unfortunately it sounds like a tractor, goes ok though for a 1960s truck engine, lol. it's certainly pretty cool in unique way.
