Yeah I know it is an HHR. But just look at the gallery.

The rest of the website is pretty cool also.

Ken had a nice statement on his truck - Maybe Rodger should paint a little statement on the bottom of his too... seemed appropriate

Backstory from Hot Rod Jan 05:

He Makes Us All Look Like Chumps
Sometimes all you can do is shake your head in stunned admiration when you see a project like Jim Dunham's scratch-built Mark I GT40 replica. A Ford vehicle-packaging engineer by day, Jim has been at work since 1997 handbuilding an exact duplicate of Ford's legendary supercar in his garage from the ground up. "I decided to build one for myself from scratch since I sure could never afford to buy an original," he says. After measuring four original GT40s and gaining access to another chassis that was under restoration, Jim drew up his own full-scale plans using CAD software, built wooden body bucks, and began forming the monocoque body tub, which is now about 90 percent complete, from sheetmetal just like the originals. He's also building the running gear and body panels in his home garage, including handforming the roof and other body panels using a hammer and dolly and an English wheel. "I try to tell guys anyone can do this; it's not tough," Jim says. Jim hopes to have the car running with a mechanically injected small-block Ford by next year and he intends to run it in open-track and vintage racing events. Unbelievable.

A lot of the processes and jig stuff is the same with metal as it is with other materials - so I like to look at bunches of sites that can inspire and be cross utilized. (plus I like woodworking too) Here's a couple to cruze !

Thanks Jim. Just found my new wallpaper. The all wood Splinter is something else. Ive done some Vac curved weave laminates myself on making some furniture pieces but that there is wall art for me.

Jim is this a Porsche buddy of yours. I believe I counted 6 Porsche in the garage at one stage or done, surrounding the crown jewel GT40 build.

I met joe harmon several years back. He definitely walks to a different drummer. I saw the CAD models for this project back when they were a student engineering project, long before they went public and took on a life of its own. His knowledge of exotic wood species is unreal, and the length they are going to in making 98% of this car out of wood and functional is even crazier. tires, glass, instruments, and basic engine is pretty much the only thin that will not be wood.
