A Million Small Things

.

And what?

Your local NAPA is fresh out of FG 356 Coupe bodies? Supply chain what?

Well, get busy, Goober...

.

Love the wide body hatchback idea.

Really cool watching but with all that fiberglass dust and no masks. Anyone else see a dead man walking?

The man has excellent skills and even better vision. Love it! Thanks for posting this Mitch.

The human hair in the glass mat will add tremendous strength to the body as well !!

Perhaps he will name the car "MOHAWK". !!...............Bruce

He must get hight on the fumes

.

Don't know anything about this dude or the build other than what's in the videos, but I like his 'nothing is impossible' attitude.

Anyone recognize any of the frame or suspension bits?  The steering rack? I also like how he's redone the rear of the car to accommodate a tranverse-mounted four. Reminds me a little of the Ferrari Dino rear window.

The fuel tank (fuel cell?) appears to be, uh, custom.

It would seem a P-car COA will not be forthcoming.

Crazy skills. C R A Z Y skills.

I would like to see when he gets to his "finish skills"

I like the look of the door handles...

.

I'm not expecting concourse levels of finish — probably more rat rod. But, big tent, right? Projects like this can only be good for the hobby.

I'm thinking this will look more like the Emory family's first generation of products, rather than the polished jewels they're producing today.

I'd be willing to bet a beer that this will be finished to a higher level than you imagine. The skill on display so far leads me to believe this guy can certainly block and paint a car as well.

His skills are on another level.

I wonder how much longer and wider this is than stock? So far, I think it looks awesome.  When finished, he needs to splash a mold and sell it to someone to produce.

Hope he has enough leg room

That's what my shop workbench looks like about now, with pieces of engine and cooling tins all over the place.

They're in some sort of order, but you would never know it by looking at 'em.

Mine, too. The stuff I worked on last is on top!

Did anyone recognize the engine? Honda? Toyota? Sorry I, can’t tell.

I think I saw Honda on it.

Honda it is. Anyone know which one?

More power than a Super 90.

And if he doesn't feel like making parts for it, he can buy them — right off the shelf — just down the street.

It's a Honda K20, a 2-liter tuners favorite which supposedly will easily do over 200 hp. So, as Rolls Royce used to say, power should be sufficient. And he should be able to use a Honda 5- or 6-speed, with, presumably, the stock shifter and linkage since those are cabled.

Why couldn't Zuffenhausen come up with stuff like this?

Here's the video showing how he positioned it and worked up the mounts. Not having to deal with pesky tins seems to make life easier in so many ways:
