That's the guy.
He built it in 2003 based on an idea he had been nurturing since about 1978!
Apart from being based on a Fiat 600 with a Fiat 127 engine:
"He sliced and diced a pair of 1956 Pontiac quarter panels to fit the Fiat's wheel openings and cut apart the hood from a 1953 Chevrolet truck to span between the fins. He also notched the quarters to accept the ends of a 1956 Buick bumper and, rather than simply popping some Pontiac taillamps into the quarters, massaged them enough to accept 1955 Dodge bezels with 1953 Chevrolet lenses."
Here's another picture of this interesting little car:
