In Los Angeles, artist Ben Tuna just dropped one of the more unexpected builds of the year. Known as @glasscowboyy and owner of Glass Visions, Tuna took an old and rusted Porsche 911 shell and turned it into something completely different.
The project is called The Resurrection and it lives up to the name. The car is now covered in colorful stained glass and looks more like a mobile art piece than a vehicle.
Tuna comes from a stained glass background. His family studio, Glass Visions, has been around since the late seventies. They usually do traditional work for homes and architecture, but this time Tuna brought those same skills to car culture. The result is a Porsche body filled with hand-cut stained glass panels. Bright reds, blues, and yellows replace what used to be steel. Sunlight hits it and the whole frame lights up. It is not drivable, but that is not the point. This is more about rethinking what a car can be when performance is not the goal.
The project has been making rounds online, spreading across design and car feeds. It stands out because it is not trying to be flashy or overly polished. It is raw and thoughtful. A classic car that was left to rot is now a piece people are stopping to talk about.
What makes The Resurrection hit is how it mixes two different ideas. One is about cars and speed. The other is about art and history. Tuna manages to bring them together in a way that does not feel forced. Just a clean idea, well executed, with a clear story behind it.
