Thought I would share something a little different. For anyone interested in metalwork / custom fabrication (think Peter Tommasini level) - then please take some time to have a look.
For the past 14 years, my neighbour up the road (Marcus) has been bringing to life a pretty incredible build. He started out with a 1948 truck that he hauled out of a paddock, then combined with 2 other similar vintage trucks, and finished with the driveline from a 2008 5.7 Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokee.
He's estimated at least 10,000 hours+ has gone into the project. The metal work and craftsmanship is next level. Serious, serious custom fab here. All done at home on a tiny budget in the garage.
The car recently got engineered and registered - and Marcus is happily clocking up street k's now. It's not yet painted (but how cool does it look raw anyway) - and the custom touches and updates continue.
Here's a quick overview below. I'll provide some links shortly for anyone interested to read about the entire journey. Marcus has gone into great detail - particularly around the techniques for the metal work....
It was recently featured in Hot Rodding International - and I've suggested that he should approach Street Machine - which he will do, but probably after paint.
Let me know what you think....
