Now here is a interesting hot rod. Open up my pictures that take a look at this wooden car. It fooled me the first time I looked at it. It looks like it powered by a flathead engine with wood heads, wooden blower and carberators. But underneath all that deception lays a 350 engine with a 2 barrel carberator. The body is the same, made out of wood. This guy who built this really had his head together when it came to be innovative. Jipjob
I"ll haft to wait till one of my twins come home and shows me how to compress those pictures of the wooden car. I think the computer is wonderfull but sometimes it can be a very big love hate relationship. Jipjob

A lot of trees died for no particular reason.
Anyone got a photo of that VW that had grass growing all over it?
Imagine what kind of insurance he's paying although its a beautiful job. Can't imagine the hrs. put into it.
Looks like a lot of Northwest maple. Its a good job. On the upside, it keeps guys like me in work!:D
Never good with wood working, just average. After I retired from my 30 year job and went into maintence, I was asked once how my carpentry work was and I responded" you wouldn't want to live in a house I built":D

Is that wood or painted to look like wood? I've seen some purdy' realistic wood graining. Spoz' it will rot in the same places a steel body does??? HEHEHE:LOL:
That Is nice work. I'd be "pining'' to ride in that 1"wood" ent' U?
I know .............. that's "knot" funny.
This one iz' a ''Basket'' case fer' sur'. But you could sur' "Weave" through traffic. HEHEHE:LOL: :LOL:
Yeah, the guy said his biggest problem was soaking the wood in water, bending it, drying it out. Lot of work for sure and a real head turnner. ;)Quote:
