I thought you were referring to the other Ferrari. That model ---smurfing--- rocks. The 1:3 scale 312PB. According to another article, nearly everything except the gearbox* is fabbed with his own hands. The guy even studied rubber er... science(?) and fabricated his own tires.
*The 1:3 scale gearbox was manufactured by Ferrari because the guy didn't have the facilities to machine the metal required for the high stresses.
I used to build scale models, but nothing I have ever built even comes remotely close to what any of these guys have done. It makes my stuff looks like home made wood blocks made with an off kilter table saw.
edit: struck out garbage. added italics. Per my stupidity at relying on crappy work PC's.

That 1/3 scale 100% replica is BAD ASS!!!
I can't help but think the Lambo custom is nothing compared to it.
I'm in the same boat as Jim (just not on the same belligerent aft section of said boat), and my cost/time Vs. finished product ratio evaluation makes it not as impressive as it could be.
You know, its alot like PixelHugger's Mission Control cab. Even when its done, it won't be near as impressive as it could have been.

The main thing that bugs me about the car is the ghetto interior. I would assume that if someone were to spend 10 years of their life working on this, that they would not have a pop riveted interior and ricer seats.

Wow, some of you guys are tough critics. My guess (and really its only a guess) is that the interior is that way because he plans to bring it out to a track and "race" it. Not against other cars, but against the clock. The friend I mention in my original post, has a Corvette Z06 that is customized for racing at that track. He even has a video camera mount in the 'vette to video laps at that track.
