My friend John built that for one of his friends.

It was pretty impressive work for a commercial pilot who dabbles with cars.

I've got a small job my the shop for him now.


BTW... the older of the boys in that video is completing his license to be a commercial pilot. It's fair to say the build took a little time.

Words cannot express how impressed I am with the fabrication abilities of that guy! Truly amazing. I did have to mute sound at times and wish the frames moved slower but I understand it would take too much time.

Not sure about that, that montage at 20:15 is pretty cool, if the seizures have ceased.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I don't have to watch it. I can call him or just stop by. I've known John for more than 10 years.

It's been done a few times. The Mirada was completed years ago. One of the kids you see in the pics is now a licensed pilot and is training for his commercial license.

Yeah, it's been a while.

I remember the first time this was on moparts. A lot of people pissed and moaned about the type of car and how the lower body was done.

I still think it's neat piece and am curious to know how well its held up.
