They probably rushed to get it ready on time, most actual builds at sema aren't any better.
Also wouldn't surprise me if that shell has original toyota parts on it.
After sema the company shared video's of them making/setting up tooling.
Yes, I agree with that. The chassis rails were quite apparent, but it's a question how many other parts were taken from the reproduction pile.
Battlegarage also mentioned the doors were pretty good and indistinguishable from the originals. Later, BigTime finds it's lacking some bolt holes, but at least it's pretty good. If they increase the quality to the level of the doors, it would become a more viable option for restoration.
