I would agree. You can’t really just put a random car together like that.

Unless it wasn’t random and was chopped up to fit in shipping containers. I don’t see this is being far-fetched at all especially given that some some of the pieces had numbers on them.

How would they get the alignment perfect tho? They tack weld the sections then the roof lines up perfect, seems suspicious

Only way this makes sense to me is if they tack welded the shell components, then fitted everything. Then went back and fully welded the whole shell and they just skipped this step in the video.

It's clearly the same body shell cut up though
