Wooden Supercar

Joe Harmon Design-Building The Splinter Wooden Supercar

No joke, at least not an intentional one!

Interesting!

Re: Wooden Supercar

Just amazing what pepole will think of and construct. The website is cool too.

Just seems odd though, forget Waxoil for rustproofing, this one will want creosote and woodworm prevention.

Seriously though - once complete it'll be a stunning example of what skilled craftsmen can do, but I feel it's going to be more museum exhibit than trackcar..

Nice find.

Re: Wooden Supercar

I saw a week or so ago and thought about trying to see the car - the fellow is located at the university that my wife teaches at and I attended as an undergraduate. Summary article here:

North Carolina State University :: Grad Student Building Wooden Car
