I thought this was REALLY REALLY impressive. His attention to detail is very impressive. That would take soooo much work but the outcome is amazing.

That's pretty cool that he made it with a center seating position too.

That's one way to do it, but I wonder his cost at 17 years, if it wouldn't have just be cheaper to wait a few years after the car was new and just bought a used one. Especially how he got it out.

Amazing story though.

That is pretty cool. Now it looks like he needs to build himself a garage.

He is a friend and also an engineer by trade. Very detail oriented.
