And you think you know how to build cars.

This is brants dads buddies car that he build from scratch.

I just saw the website now. Its a replical of a 1937 cord. I saw the car in person once or twice and it was pretty amazing how good it looked. I didn't realize until now how much time this guy has invested into this car. Pretty much EVERYTHING was done from scratch, I can't believe he even pulled it off.

Thought I would share:

Check the site out, I read a lot of it, amazing how he did it. I just tossed in a few key pics posted below.

I guess he's got some kind of talent but that car is not anything I'd be proud to drive.

Whether you like the car or not, the guy definitely deserves respect for taking the time to put an ENTIRE car together and be able to drive it around. I mean the guy even used wood. I don't have the patience to put a precut wooden chair together!:up:

I do respect the skill. But that thing is FUGLY.

Yeah but I totally agree. There has to be at least one nice post in one of these threads and I figured that mine would be it.

i guess everyone likes something. there are guys who are nuts for every kind of car. that guy has a lot of skill and determination. i cant imagine the amount of work involved. sometimes im overwhelmed taking a car apart, painting and rebuilding everything and reassembling. a restoration is nothing compared to that. if he put that effort into something we thought was cool it would be sweet

He made a car out of wood?

[Teaguer]

Props to him for getting it done .

I wonder how much that thing weighs ?

The wood is just a template.

He's quite the craftsman...

All that work and it looks like he's running cheap american racing wheels w/ white letter tires.

Owner's suggestions - "Pick a design that you believe is timeless – one that you think is cool and will remain cool even after working on it for 23 years. You wouldn’t want to think your project is ugly after spending 7000 hours on it."

I think it's pretty neat, but those wheels are not period correct at all - they look like something off a late 70's camaro.

Cool project, and it is probably a blast to drive. Those wheels are horrendous, though.

He should have put that much time into building e30 M3's from scratch. :) props to the guy tho thats a shitload of work.
