Sure. It also says that it's got images of the car, when all I see are some sketches that any moderately competent artist could whip out in a few hours.

As for using the frame members as pressure storage vessels... Well, I'd want to see a real good engineering analysis of that. What happens when a member holding say 4000 psi is subject to road shocks? I don't know, but I think the stresses would add...
