So are you saying it's a R?
Find it biotch...

no need to get testy.. I'm just saying that's really old. Don't know if it's posted on ATOT (although I'm sure it has).

Actually I'm 99.99% sure it hasn't. I'd have checked it out, and I've never seen it before.

This is pretty neat, although I have seen it before. The only similar project I found as impressive was the guy who rebuilt the wrecked F40.

I've seen this but it's still such an impressively huge amount of work.

The MOST impressed I've been is the guy who built himself, from scratch, a scaled down _fully functional_ ferrari, including the 12 cylinder engine. It was actually sickening to read about it in detail and how much time he put into it.

I saw a documentary on that.

It was truly unreal! I mean these guys have taken busted cars and fixed them up, but this other dude made a small-scale version of everything and machined all the parts himself!

Here is the rebuilding of the F40.

EDIT: Here is the thread about the model car.
