Barn Find Hunter - Sportin' A Woodie!!!
https://youtu.be/Nz5aCTXa4z0?si=91FqPvDVm6NyRlgX
This is incredible. 20,000 hours to build this car from 15 different species of wood, that's right, this car is made of wood. This guy should build a boat!!! Enjoy and embed the video if possible please. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

About 40 years ago a guy in western Nova Scotia built a full sized F1 car, completely of wood, including the spark plug wires on the Ford Cosworth DFV. I can't remember if it was a March or a Tyrell. It was on display at a Ford dealership near Yarmouth. I can't imagine the hours of work that went into it.

Cool toy project. In the end he has a unique vehicle that he really can't drive. Just a show car. I can certainly appreciate his talent and skills of working with wood.

It starts, it drives, it has 650 HP and weighs well under 3,000 lb.s. Woven wood fiber instead of carbon that's stronger than carbon, just fantastic!
