I might be mistaken, but I don't think there's any car beneath! Considering the steel tubing on the interior, no monoblock frame...

No monoblock, a steel frame indeed, and there is a car beneath. No Chevrolet Monza bits.

It´s the Poubel built by ITA students....it´s a tribute to Marcos Poubel who died in a car accident ,in case , a 1979 Volkswagen Passat,that was donated by the family to build this car.

it was built while i was building my electric cars so remembered the headlines but not the fine details
and explored the idea of using exotic body materials for production cars

You build electric cars? Please, let me know something about them.
