The guy who made this r8 reproduction, obviously has some real skills in modifying body parts. The pieces actually look to be very well made. Why in the World does this talented guy waste his skills, time, and money on something that will only bring him massive ridicule and complete embarrassment for all of his hard work? I MUST be missing something.

It's a pretty staggering result given the starting point of a mercury cougar:

IMHO -I personally would not own a replica or kit car..BUT,it is a serious business. If these cars can be built for $50-60K, they will sell.
Especially if the model is discontinued..ie: cobra,ford gt,...

Well this is the best laugh I've had in ages, reminds me a lot of the Banham X99 kit car replica of the TT only worse

The interior shots are awesome though
