You get my vote for project of the year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)


If he were working any faster it would have to be project of the month! I have a sneaking suspicion he's already done and too busy carving up curvy roads to post...

Nothing I can add.

I don't think I can convey my respect for what you conceptualized, designed and built in such a short time.

Åj, sjå dær ja... Du e bættere fengernæm. (Norwegian dialect, almost not even translatable into regular Norwegian.)

It's a beautiful car, with beautiful curves. And beautiful details. It annoys me that I can't see the steering wheel though.
It seems to run properly? Mettimotorn that is.

Had a test trip to Germany and the HO 2017.The El Cheapo bastard worked like a charm so there were no wrenching on the whole trip but one speeding ticket.The bastard to blame,not me.
People seemed to like it and a few understood what it was....
The car is even going to be in a book about specials.

So this is the end of my Hardcore Recycling story.

Looks great on the road. It is really awesome how you can see the lines of both cars, but it is blended so gracefully. Well executed.

Wow. Awesome. And at this rate you are practically creating 2 cars a year from the ground up to the rest of us average DIY restorers maybe completing one every 5-10 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Thank you so much for taking us on your trip of the life of a craftsman of extraordinary talents. More fun than reading a book. No need to Schwan's you. You know you have the right stuff.
I missed the part when you formed the plastic for headlight covers

Wow. Hope your next project will be a Porsche or VW again.
Maybe we will see this car on one of the European shows, would be very cool to see this fast & great build in real life.
