If you're not a little nuts, you're not a real car guy.

i would say hes nuts if used the italian wireing harness, otherwise seems perfectly sane to me.

Bet hes not married :)

respect for staying with a project

most would have abandoned it a year in.

just in time for $4 a gallon gas, wonder if he wishes he spent that effort on a pure electric ..............

This guy's a maniac! Obviously a very talented maniac! I love it!

Only beef I have here, if you can call it a beef, is that as soon as that thing hits tarmac some jerk is going to rear-end or door-ding it.

After sinking six years of my life into the automotive profession, one thing I've come away with is that cars are just too temporary for me to want to spend much time or money on them.

It took him 10 years to complete this project. If he can set aside $15-$20k every year for 10 years, he could have bought a new Lambo. (Yeah yeah I understand it's the artisan and geek aspect of rolling your own...)

Wonder how his registration at the DMV will go...

I'd call him crazy if it was a hand-built faux Suby Outback. :19:

Lambo, well, I guess we can let that one slide.....

That is quality workmanship.:eek:

I concur! I think it's incredible that he was actually able to complete the project.
