Post by Mike907 »

Now that the boat is finished, how about a car to go with it?

I cannot begin to imagine doing that project.

Hahahaha!

I don't know about the Toyota, but I suspect Splinter is appropriately named.

As they say this is a piece of art.

I do like the year meter, something that a shopsmith could have used. It "wood" be cool to look at your machine and say "Oh look it is almost 40 years old!".

If you build your own custom car do you have to comply with crash test standards ?
