Fantastic clip Nick! Couple of things spring to mind. I absolutely love the fact that he didn't restore the body and that it looks 'period distressed'. Secondly, although he appears to be an engineer with much skill, half the battle surely was finding that complete body. Just imagine trying to re-create that from photos!
Finally, what kind of mean spirited people would call it "fake" to his face and not recognise true automotive passion and a recreated work of art?
I was never known much for my patience when I was younger, and I would have to say, had it been me, the perp would be looking for his teeth on the tarmac...so all credit to his calm demeanour when provoked.
