He makes very cool cars. I’m surprised Jay fits in one.

Looks pretty cozy in there.

Yup...I saw this episode last night too...this guy has impressive metal skills beyond his years.

I bet he could install metal GT flares rather quickly.

He’ s a local-ish MN guy. He’s been bringing his builds to our monthly C&C events here since he built #1. Always draws a crowd and is regarded as a standup guy.

I'm envious of his skill and bravery.

I have a friend who works at Rod Emory's shop. He's building something similar right now.

Shape ?......well....ah....not really

Those can't be street legal... Seems like you'd either have to have Jay Leno driving, or drive it in Minnesota...

In any case, that kid has a great eye for putting together a beautiful design with curves that are not impossible to fabricate.

If I had a bunch of change spilling from my piggy bank...I'd commission this guy for a build, but with a SIX. Worth the wait.

Not to worry though...piggy bank is on a diet as of late.

Gotta get my current car projects finished.


Yes, I'm

Neat story also of how he got the tools to start his business. Seems like a pretty cool and down to Earth guy.

Automotive art.
And for me, much more a sports car than what is made these days.

Yes! Perfectly stated.

I think a /6 is too much for a build like this and takes away from its character a bit. Years ago went for a ride in a freinds 550 replica with a vuilt 3.6 in it, scary fast.. I'd rather have a nice /4 in it instead (supposedly car is in Japan theses days)

It doesn't have to be the fastest car on earth to be the most fun car on earth.
