Apologies if this has already been posted.

This guy builds a 1/6 scale model of a Ferrari 312 PB from scratch! Every piece, every part - from the pistons and valves to the pedals - AND IT RUNS! Absolutely incredible video!! If you've not seen it, you are in for an unbelievable treat!
Enjoy!!

I hate guys like that. I can't even change an electrical outlet without wanting to punch a hole in the wall
 
Wow, its amazing it runs! Best line "the car could run if we could find someone to drive it" :laughing:

what about that guy in "The Mouse and the Motorcycle"?

seriously though, that is awesome. :dblthumb2:
 
Wow! That is unbelievable. What an amazing accomplishment. Just simply a suburb example of ingenuity, perseverance, and engineering today. As much an accomplishment as a team of trained aerospace engineers creating a new jet, in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing!

Have to agree with you. In that 4 min+ video he just briefly touched on a couple of the components he hand crafted. Stop for a second and consider the fact that every single part of the car was custom created - to precise and exact specifications by him. Absolutely awe inspiring!

A 100cc, 12 cyl. 4-stroke engine completely fabricated by him with no existing model or templates in existence! AND IT RUNS!!!
 
I bet the braking system was difficult. That is amazing. Someone send him a cold beer. He deserves it!
 
He needs to make a scale polisher and get to work. I seen some swirls in that red. Awesome work this guy has done.
 
That is something else. That's takes more patience than detailing...sometimes lol.

I always wanted to do something like that. I know a gentlemen that comes to my job who builds exact models like that one. But does not run. He showed me his Ecto-1 that he handcrafted with running LED's. He even rides around his Knight Rider Kit car. I've been begging him to detail that bad boy.
 
I remember that..... OMG doesn't it make me feel just as weird now as the first time. :laughing:

Now I have some seriously bada$$ RC trucks, (one with about 3K into) but that is something in a world all of it's own. ;)
