Unbelievable!! [:-][:-][:-] What an awesome commitment! I truly admire someone so driven to this level of achievement in workmanship. That car should be displayed as a landmark in mechanical engineering.

RE: Amazing 1/3 scale ferrari
Simply amazing!!! That took alot of dedication to a dream. Now they just need to train a small monkey an maybe a squirrel to drive it. 
Just to think.... How would you like that 100cc flat 12 to play with??

RE: Amazing 1/3 scale ferrari
yes, its one hell of a work of art, and to think it truly runs, steers. the brakes work, rack in pinion steering. IGNITION SWITH THAT WORKS!!!! that is a labor of love.
first time i saw this i was absolutly floored at not only the amount of intricate detail but the dedication this guy has and his obvious love of Ferrarris.

Well i dont think he made 100% of the car but im sure he bought alot of parts for it , the smaller items but truly a piece of craftmanship thats for sure !

That guy has a lot of talent---and a lot of time on his hands. He still looks young. Who the heck makes their own springs?

yeah, certainly the off-the shelf type parts were bought.... As with any scale project, the devil is in the details, and this guy seems to have gotten them all in there.

RE: Amazing 1/3 scale ferrari
If he sold it he could probably use the money to buy a real Ferrari, that thing must be worth a bit! Though it said he'd use the money to fund another such project... I wonder how small you'd have to be to frive it and how fast it'd go?! Just need a 1/3 scale R/C robotic driver I guess!

RE: Amazing 1/3 scale ferrari
he started this project probably before FG was a company and only ran out of a garage or basment. yes he made all the parts. including the Tires!!! the ignition key, the intake the valves, the rotor in the distriutor cap the Transmisssion, Everything. i beleive he stated at one time over 40,000 hrs invested. whats an hr of your time worth?
anyway you slice it, to think if someone was 13 or 14 inches tall, they could ACTUALLY GET IN AND DRIVE IT>..
