Lambo handmade in Basement
This is pretty cool/whacky. Guy made a Lambo in his Garage after watching Cannonball Run.
The build looks pretty sharp. Much better than I expected actually. The second shocker besides handbuilding a Countach from scratch is.... How do you get a car out of your basement when you're done building it?  Handmade Al body panels, hand made tube frame chassis, 351 engine w/500+hp and GT40 "bundle of snakes" exhaust going through ZF transaxle. http://jalopnik.com/5065896/hand+made-lamborghini-built-in-basement-finally-sees-light-of-day

Steve's got other stuff on his mind. Check out the breast/butt threads.
At least he has his priorities right.

Hah, I thought I had seen it here, but when I saw it on the Miata board, I figured that's where I had seen it initially.

The build quality is probably a crap load better than an original Lambo. Looks fantastic.

That car is pretty amazing. People inevitably question whether or not it makes sense, saves money, to build your own car. I'm always in awe of someoen who can see a project like that through, from start to finish. Just amazing. I get nervous and giddy when I fire up an engine I've rebuilt. Imagine how cool the first drive would be, after years of building something like that.

I suppose it might seem cheaper in the beginning to build your own car but I doubt it works out that way in the end. Even accounting for free labor, there are a lot of parts in a car. I would have rather restored a wrecked one. JR |
