Started a new Amphicar project on New Years Day!! It's gonna be another custom.!

Where do you keep coming up with these? Did the finned Chrysler one get finished, and if so, is it seaworthy?

I have always wanted one, as weird as it may be . When I was a kid, I would see one sitting all abandoned and lonely in the brush as I dreamed from the school bus window.
