    Guy hand built lambo in his basement..

    This dude hand built a Lamborghini in his basement.. The frame and aluminum body are 100% fabricated by his welds.
    When he finished they had to tear down the basement wall just to get the thing out, crazy.

    ..can you imagine.. this guy is pimp enough he could make his own e30 m3..
    I'd be pumpin those things out right and left





    here is a link to the article with pictures of the build:
    Hand-Made Lamborghini Built In Basement Finally Sees Light Of Day - Jalopnik
    http://jalopnik.com/5065896/hand+made-lamborghini-built-in-basement-finally-sees-light-of-day
    Seventeen years ago, Ken Imhoff watched Cannonball Run and became so enamored with the Lamborghini Countach in the film, he hand-built his own, in his basement. In what we imagine might be the most Jalopnik build ever undertaken, Ken designed and fabricated his own tig-welded frame, installed a thoroughly massaged 351 cubic inch V8 with a ZF-25 5-speed transmission, hand-formed the aluminum body over a meticulously measured and accurate body form, and finished it all off in a beautiful metalli

      The interior is lacking, but interesting article nonetheless.

                  A little history on the car.
                  100% hand crafted Countach out of aluminum and a space tube frame. All aluminum body formed on a wooden buck using an English wheel. My own design space frame with Corvette hubs and custom A-arms. Mated to a ZF-25 5 speed. S.S. 180 degree headers GT40 design "bundle of snakes" Boss 351 bored stroked to 377 515hp 48 IDA Webbers. One off TransAm BBS rim shells to my own center section wheels. Custom brake package to fit 16" wheels. Fuel cell, twin aluminum sprint car (Howe) radiators. All aluminum interior with leather dash, Momo seats and 5 point harness, on board halon fire bottle. quick release steering wheel. Low to the ground at 2700 lbs. 100% body correct by using a real Countach to measure from. Over 10 years in the making.
                  The countach was my first love (after maple bars). This is a warm fuzzy.
                  Not that I care, of course.
