Oh, he's one of those average normal people that keeps to himself, you'd never expect anything like this.  It's always the quiet ones.

Looks like he did an very nice job, and it's even more impressive that he built the body out aluminum instead of doing it in fiberglass.
I have to say though the Lambo Countach is a little bit boring to me. Since it is Ford powered, I think he should have done a Mangusta instead. ;)
I wish I had a sliver of the talent it took to complete a project like that.

Yeah the most impressive part to me is the all aluminum hand formed body panels matched to the factory body measurements.

I've always wanted to do a kit car...

By the way, those carbon monoxide sensors really do work and you have to keep the windows open unless you want the sweet smell of racing gas lingering in your basp00get.
