They build a Model A with a custom frame, cast aluminum wheels made to look like wood spoke wheels, and a 250hp 4 cylinder engine disguised as a flat head. Photo essay:

I didn't notice the redline; but am in awe of the whole project.

The wheels are simply astonishing.

That's pretty cool, I bet they were listening to some of that good Finnish power metal too!

More likely some Wagner...or maybe Orff's Carmina Burana...hopefully Ferrari and Bentley enthusiasts have a little more class and cultural refinement than Metal-Heads.

The drivetrain in that Model A is from a rally car, pretty sweet! The detail on the car is amazing, they did a heck of a nice job on it...
