    Found on another forum:

    aluminum re-body of a Toyota 2000GT

    Unbelievable fabrication skills.

    The whole rebuild reminds me of a Ferrari 250 owner who tracks his car. When asked about damage, he indicates that he can have any body part re-created. .

    No, it's a rather excellent display of broken English.

    Neat project, but if I was going to put that much effort into a car, it would have to be something more precious that one of those.

    OK I see it is a REBODY.

    I'm far from an expert on these, but isn't this car stupidly rare?

    That guy sounds great! He's even offering to pass on his skills. If I was 20 years younger and not married, I'd go to California and be his apprentice.

    How could you not love a guy who posted this:

    Amazing skill, but how would the aluminum hold up on the hinges?

    I'm going to cry, that was beautiful.

    Check the other links on that page. Here's an interesting bit - wheel rims bolted directly to a brake rotor. Both of these are from Panhards.
