Where in the world did you find this?
It does seem to be the long hard way to build that car BUT we know it is a lot of work, so maybe this will show new bees what can be involved.
I was a little disappointed to follow the l-o-n-g series of pictures only to find they painted it GREEN and never show you an overall picture of the complete car.
Still, this is an interesting series of pictures.

Rt in answer to your question I found it here, http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16971 (http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16971)
lots of good builds of middies etc on this locost site , I have learnt lots from watching other builds  on this site , one thing I have learnt is how not to weld, I agree the welding was pretty bad. I don't think I would want my as.... riding around in that the way the welding was done, but I thought the overall build was interesting especially the trick front shock system, and the build photos were pretty good to show the process for newbies. its not what I would build but it looked good in the end, at least the welding was not as bad as the genuine Countach welding

Hey Jim…

Sometimes us "Ole Timers" are just too opinionated.
I'm glad you like GREEN. You can paint your car GREEN.  I'm OK with that.
I think I will still go with silver, to match my hair.  LOL

Will you have your GREEN car at Carlisle?
See you there.
