I read about this car in a magazine at work. Pretty awesome to see the build. Great idea.

I have a hard time believing it will only be 2500lbs, and still sturdy if only constructed from laminate.

It's definitely an interesting concept, and shows some real ingenuity, but I think it's just too much work going in the wrong direction.

:confused:

You think this car will attract beaver? :naughty:

That would suck to wreck. Imagine all the slivers you would get. Ouch! It should come with some tweezers, bandaids and alcohol wipes standard.

If it was made out of CF and like a CF honeycomb composite, would be a badass machine

the de Havilland Mosquito paired with this car is an epic picture. Funny thing is, I knew before opening this that they would make the comparison.

If I had a wooden car, I would float it down the river.

does it move or no? After all it is wooden supercar, not wooden supercar full scale model. Forgive me if I missed some information.

Still in the works. Using a heavily modified 700 HP Cadillac Northstar V8.
