This thing may be ugly but there are other concerns for people using this like a real truck.

-The bed is not easily accessible from the sides

-It's unibody(ask Honda about that)

-It's stainless steel which would make repairing difficult. You will now have to paint that raw steel after hammering out any dents after an accident just like the Delorean



Thank you! I was thinking the same things. More concerned about using the vehicle as a pickup than the design. I didn't see places to mount a rack, and only a few places that might be holes for straps.


Why would you paint it? It's not painted in the first place.


Do you know what is involved in "hammering" out dents in a collision and how the metal looks after? Also you may need to then fill some surface irregularities with a filler.

This is why Deloreans that got into accidents were usually painted.

Of course if you can easily replace an entire panel with a new one, this can be done. On cars the rear quarter panel cant be "replaced" like the front quarter panel which is just bolted on.
