Not only is that guy a major dork...he's also my hero.

That's a nicely-done project. I imagine the end result is a car that drives like a Pantera and looks like a Countach, but that's okay, a Pantera is a fun drive. Sure beats the hell out of the usual Diablos you see built as kits on Pontiac Fiero platforms.

Wow, that's amazing.

my guess is the end product will probably drive quite badly. Not a slam on the builder though.

My father's done 3 frame-offs. Rebuilding a professionally designed and manufactured car requires a hell of a lot of sorting, even for the most careful restorer, before the car is really driveable. It's always taken him at least another 40 hours of driving and tweaking before the car runs nearly as good as it looks.

Imagine how long the sorting process will take for a car that was engineered and manufactured as a one-off by an amateur in a basement. If his skill was really exceptional he won't need to do any frame fixes or substantial disassembly to get it safe and driveable.

Bet he could have shaved off 10 years had he access to Plunkey's 5-axisdobblerwobbly/snuff box/didgeridoo.

Damn you're brutal. I bet you also punch kittens & feed babies high-calorie big macs.

...or he could take it to an alignment shop...

I'd machine that shit out of a single block of aluminum!

WTF with this bending and welding stuff? Why would anyone be afraid of making a few chips?

 

[hardrock]

All that shit I just read and watched, and we don't even get to hear it or see it driven? WTF?

 

[EnderJE]

He should make the batcar.

It looks awesome. Said he took his daughter to her first day of school in it. LOL! Can you imagine? I can see that happening somewhere in BH, OC, etc. (CA), but not in fuggin Wisconsin! lmao!
