Careless Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 So much for crumple zones. Atleast you'd be able to kill a pack of werewolves if you magically happen blast through a 6 pack before blasting through a forest. But then I guess you'd feel at home amongst the trees. Amazing work, I must say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I like the idea of reverse flow heads. I always wondered why Ferrari and Lambo didn't take up on that idea. It makes sense with their gaping holes in the side-panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Impressive work, but im wondering how much its going to weigh... I guess it could be the spruce goose of supercars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 given the way it curves and swoops, the builder must be a violin maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Will it float? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Impressive work, but im wondering how much its going to weigh... I guess it could be the spruce goose of supercars. Or, maybe, the Spitfire or Mosquito, two wooden machines that some believe won the Battle of Britain. Spitfire has the sex appeal, but Goring was more concerned about the twin engine light bomber that could and did reach Berlin for daylight raids "on the deck". Put together by piano makers. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 If you read more into the car, they're basically making a woven composite from the veneer, much like a carbon fiber weave. It looks like they're all very creative, and I haven't seen this done to this extent before. If you're going to be absolutely number one, there are better materials out there. But, this is pretty unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The Spitfire was Aluminium not wood, the Mozzie was all wood, and damn fast n nimble too, but neither the Spit or the Hurricane used wood for anything structural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey, it's even easier to paint than a rustoleum car. Just slather on the Thompson's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 holy ♥♥♥♥, even the WHEELS are made out of wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze73 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The woodwork is amazing no doubt. Anyone else notice the reverse flow heads with twin Eaton M90's and intercoolers on that Northstar V8? Cool setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just until 2 years ago, the car manufacturer Morgan made their cars out of wood. Hope he realizes that he can make molds out of all the wood panels and make a CF frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Very impressive craftsmanship. I love woodworking and think this is great. But supercar is a bit of a stretch. It even has leaf springs. Come on guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a corvette Plus I think even this guy would have problems trying to make coil springs out of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Did you see the seating position? Ain't no way in hell I would sit with my legs between the upper and lower a-arms. Truly amazing fabrication. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
