That’s crazy looking. Not sure if the color choices help or hurt it.

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life.

Ha, even the dog is confused!
Looks powerful, if not at all aerodynamic.
Full-length frame under the body, possibly real/probably fake exhaust pipes filling the original front wheel-wells, complete engine/trans/drive-train out of something maybe... (or fully custom-built?)
Interesting choice of singular headlight, going for the train aesthetic?
