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. Oscar |

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

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. |

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) |
