very nice! just out of curiosity, did you use a CNC for the individual pieces? if so, which software program did you use?

Also out of curiosity- whats the top speed?

Your car should attract a lot of attention at both woodworking and auto shows and probably other venus as well. You are certain to have a lot of fun with it. Great work.

Hey

As an old “gearhead” this is really cool. Have you considered doing a blog on this to show the steps of construction? Thanks so much for sharing.

WOW! Simply outstanding work. Beautiful, excellent craftsmanship. Must have taken a long time to construct, I echo jackthelab’s question: got a blog on the build?

The hours and commitment put in to a project like this is most likely mind boggling ! How ever, in the end the reward of accomplishment must have you smiling from ear to ear. Very nicely done, hope to see some more of your specialized work in the future. Welcome to L J’s, you should fit in well here !

Thanks for the comments. And yes, there was a huge amount of time invested in this project, but it was completed over about 5 months. The top speed would depend on how brave the driver is i suppose, but the engine and gearbox are capable of speeds in excess of 100mph.
Some of the work was completed on cnc machines, but primarily by hand. I used solidworks and autocad for most drawings.
I am new to this site, but if a blog would be of interest I would be more than willing to put one up as i have all work well documented?!

As an ex-mechanic who now does wood work, this would be my ultimate dream project.
I would love to see more.
A blog on the build?
A video of the car in action?
Ever since first stumbling across Splinter, a car made mostly from layers of wood veneer, I’ve been fascinated with wooden cars.
