OK, I actually rethought this whole thing, and came to these conclusions...... Kindig was an idiot for not seeing this disaster in the making before trashing a perfectly good car....that he supposedly likes......
The bigger idiot was the owner, who threw away $99K worth of car to use $1K worth of tin, which could have been had from any number of existing basket cases elsewhere on this continent. NONE of the major/minor panels were used "as is" except perhaps the rear decklid, but wait.....Kindig hasn't finished the car yet.....
Either guy could have reached out to the VERY HARD TO FIND Pantera community to ask for someone with a donor body to use, to test this whole Roadster Shop thing out.... (I apologize if I missed the Ring Bros or anyone else that sorta did this....hopefully not with a perfectly good example of a car to begin with....!)
The fact that this was being discussed two years back and while waiting for RS to complete a chassis, gave two years worth of time....to find such a beast to use. (Presuming the car still actually has not been finished..... but still......how long would it really take to find a rusty body to donate to the cause.......? 15-20 minutes? 
I had to chuckle when Kindig stated something to the effect of "here comes the hate mail" and thought I would never do that.....but NOW after seeing the gross carnage that they inflicted on this car and giving it some thought, I AM THE ONE sewing the non-love factor!!!! After looking at the car somewhat assembled and with the wheels etc, I lost any love that I may have had for the project's implementation.
If anyone like myself pulled up to a POCA national event, jumped out of their car in mid crowd, and started beating their car to death with a sledge hammer, I'd hope that someone will pull me off of it.......but essentially, that is what this owner AND Kindig did on national TV and they're laughing about it!!!? What if the car were a 1966 427 Cobra, Yenko Camaro, Cougar, (yes they made 427 cars!), Hemi Cuda, or a Shelby GT500????
I'd bet that it wouldn't have been done...... (and yes, I understand that it may have been done in the past, when all of the aforementioned cars were pennies on the dollars during the 70's 80's......) but not today!!! ....until now.
So Kindig physically and actually destroys a $100K car, get's paid $100K to do so, and the owner likely gets a car that can't negotiate a driveway without a pit crew and wood ramps! Only a melt down on an episode of "Jersey Shore" could perhaps be more ugly.....
THATS HOW I FEEL TODAY! It's ok, call me a hater Dave......I occasionally do like some of the work you guys do, but next time, please display some intelligence if at all blooming possible!!! Please. Maybe we can blame this disaster on Covid...got to all of youse brains......
Ciao!
