High school buddy is a custom builder and seller of cars and bikes. He has an Arlen Ness bike that is amazing in his own stable. One of the things that he does is organize the Hangar in OC for Cruisin' for a Cure. It's an invite only show, and they have some amazing stuff at the fairgrounds. He posted this today. All hand bent metal. It's kind of a mix of Vette, Merc and Lotus to me.

This is not his project. There's a guy, Luc De Ley, who owns "Marcels Customs metals". This is probably thousands of hours. You can't be doing this to make money.

Are the aluminum seats with pads a deal breaker?

The car was built and is owned by Luc De Ley of Marcels Custom Metals. Here's a short video about it.
