That's gorgeous. Not a lot of useable load space, but doesn't it look spot on. Even the louvred vents at the back, (presumably cooling the rear mounted engine), look right.
So is it a steel body? Or fibreglass? I know "Wizard" used to make a 'glass van conversion, as well as 2 seater roadsters -my brother Brock's got one. Is it an existing van body grafted onto the Beetle cab? Whatever, it's beautifully done.
