Wow.
I like where he says people do not say anything.
Then he takes an old Viking sewing machine, installs a bigger motor and gears it down with pulleys to be able to sew the interior pieces.

And he drives it in the rain. That must have been a mistake because he keeps it in the dehumidified bubble (that he fabricated).

7 years...

 

He didn't paint it himself....what a loser!

 

No doubt this guy is a Craftsmen. One out of a thousand kind of guy. I wonder what he does for a living ? Awsome work and attention to detail. Too bad he didn't show pictures of the tools, especially the "handmade" ones !

 

Mike,
Have you ever checked out this website. The restorer only does original 1960s GT40s and Grand Sports. I made the link the GT40 one. You can go to the main site to review the incredible Grand Sport restoration. There is another person's site that has just this year started doing original Cobras to this kind of detail.

Thanks, Dan. Saw your picture in the UAH Alumni news this month.

 

man I feel like a turd now after seeing what this guy did. Once I had a flat tire in my own driveway and I called AAA because I didn't want to get dirty or hurt and I since I paid for roadside assistance anyway....I think now I will try a more hands on approach to my vehicles
