Homebuilt 1920's Indycar style hotrod

[Capbyrd]

I recently found a kid on YouTube that is making his own 1920's style boat tail race car.   So far he has built his frame from scratch, torn down the engine, mounted and modified suspension, built a wooden buck for the body and just started bending aluminum for the body.  Its pretty awesome to watch.   He bought a harbor freight English wheel and modified it to address its weak points.    I've really enjoyed watching this so far.

Cool. My uncle built his own car from scratch while in high school in the late '50's.  Later on he made friends with this guy (https://www.sprintcarhof.com/helper_pages/FileGet.aspx?id=374) and built a replica of one of his cars.  I've got a picture of it somewhere....
