The two-tone exterior body of Project Barge is finished in full-gloss “White Diamond Pearl” paint, while the roof, front grille, and 18-inch Kahn Mondial Retro wheels are finished in “Nara Bronze.” A custom Safety Devices roll-cage was finished in premium Line-X in the same “Nara Bronze” to match.
Project Barge, the first vehicle by E.C.D. The rear tub is made of wood. The Brazilian teak creates a striking contrast with the pearl-white exterior. The copper-plated metalwork on the exterior and inside of the vehicle is another feature that makes Project Barge stand out. This is a first for E.C.D. Automotive Design.

The interior features a variety of modern conveniences, including a Sony infotainment, a JL Audio amplified audio system, WiFi in the vehicle, blind-spot monitor system and rear air conditioning controls for passengers.
