Long way to go for a GMC. Wonder who did the work? I especially like the front windshield screen. Keeps out the kanagroos, wrong country.

The maker, Anahà Alesso, is apparently an established company, perhaps
still in business. Here are just a few of the hits from a Google search on
the name:

A later model, Toyota based, of the same brand:

or

Several later models with turbocharged 4 cylinder MB diesels were listed
also.

Not that difficult with the proper equipment and skills Rob.
Admittedly, going into production with hand shaping panels would make it pretty expensive. Then again, fiberglas is normally laid up so that it weights more than steel and much more than aluminum.
