I'm guessing we're talking a very premium product here - it certainly looks fantastic. I'm very much a beginner in the welding stakes but this doesn't look like premium welding to me - am I being too harsh?

Too Much heat used and the tubular welded joints are terrible, I understand Ferrari tubular welding are no things of beauty either

Well the chassis welding on my radical and the caterhams I've owned has been nowhere as messy as that!

Meet Picachu, the GT3. Bright yellow of course (yes I know I should have had some color film):
While I could possibly run a bright yellow GT3 with Picachu stickers, not sure I would have a 1m plush Picachu as my passenger... Neko.

And that would be correct, I can't stand bad workmanship, pride must be taken in one's craft.
