It amazes me what people can build when the poor their free time into a project.
Makes me feel like a lazy ass for playing video games. 🙂

i hope one day to have an extended project like that…but cooler (i.e. completely original body lines) one day. No pressure to finish, just work on it at my leisure and be extremely detailed… some day.
that’s some amazing metal work.

I wonder if when he was building and the new Lambos came out he was tempted to change the design.
1/3 of the way done and the Diablo came out
Then about 2/3 of the way done the Murcielago came out, I’m sure he was in too deep but there had to be some sort of remorse.
Very cool and nice work.

Do you think a guy who just built that fucking car is that much of a moron? I’m sure that was part of his plan. It’s not like getting it out would be that much of a pita.

Think about it though, he spent a ton of his life building the thing.
It would only take a day to dig the hole, knock down the wall and rebuild it.(providing you have an excavator.)
