Hand-Made Lamborghini Built In Basement
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
--- End quote ---
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
