TWENTY THOUSAND HOURS??? That's 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year (let's assume he took at least 2 weeks vacation, since he is European), for 10 straight years. That doesn't leave a lot of time to keep a full-time job and live a normal life.
As he said it took him a total of 15 years including drawings to build the car and it's NOT an R/C car! It actually is a smaller version of the real car. If only to find a person small enough. I bet it would be a blast! lol.
That was great. That Italian is a champ for spending that much time. I call that art. Thanks George for sharing.
My wife sent me the link Bill. Being a machinist I truly appreciate the craftmanship that went into building the car.
George you are the mechanical Type. Why don't you build us a small scale Fox Body Saleen with a working Vortech supercharged 302, and polished intake. Hey, and don't forget to make floor mats. I think I know who could drive a car that small. Don't forget the guy that visits these forums occasionally to make trouble? You know the one I'm talking about.LOL
I try to forget about little bugs like that Randy. Anyway as for making the engine, I'd absolutely love to take on the challenge, if I could only find 15 years of free time now! LOL.
That is cool! Reminded me of this blown small block. Check out the whole site. Then look at V8 engine video.... http://www.weberprecision.com/ Casey
That site is cool. I've seen that site before and posted it someplace at one time. I guess this guy took it to the next level and did more then just build the engine, he built the entire car down to the transmission and operating turn signals. The car could be driven legally on the street if only to find a person small enough.
I saw it a while back, i probably found it by watching top gear videos on youtube. IMO, he should of made it remote control, i mean he went that far, a couple of servo's and we could really see it run.
