Hand-Made Lamborghini Built In Basement

<< < (4/16) > >>

billf:
He hand-built, from scratch the body and frame.  He purchased some items that helped with the dimensions (ie. windshield, fiberglass front bumper and wheel arches).  The body was formed on a wooden buck - basically wooden cross-sections of the car.

ChadTower:

Funky.  Serious fabrication skills.  Makes me wonder why he would build a replica of an existing car instead of building a badass custom of his own design.  What about the drive train and electronics?

billf:
A quote from his website:


--- Quote ---A scratch built all aluminum body Countach with a Boss 351 V8 mated to a ZF-5 speed transaxle

Electronics?  Not sure.

Who knows, another 17 years and maybe he will have his own custom design built!  ;D

ChadTower:

Body of aluminum... yow.  I have always wondered how aluminum would stand up in a real crash.  Seems awfully soft when faced with something like a telephone pole.

billf:
True, but I assume the real strength comes from the frame.  Of course, any metal will seem soft when a telephone pole and speed are combined!   ;D
