10 years?! That's ****ing dedication right there.
10 Years+1 Basement= 1 hand built Contach

Now he has a new place for a garage door.
First off, I didn't read any where on the page where it stated how much the cost of the project was. Secondly, he probably built it because that's what he loves doing. I would find more pride in driving a car I built VS driving in a car a bought.
dude just imagine having to make the wood frame to help form the body of that car! i would have given up after that!
me too
It's nothing special, people build these replicas using a custom tube chassis all the time, (a lot of them use a fiero chassis). He just fabricated his own kit, which a lot of people decide to do as well.

These are all replicas
Some of them will actually blow the doors off the real thing. There is a company that uses a real nice tubular chassis, multi-link suspension, modded LS7 z06 motors or V10 BMW motors, Porsche transaxles, etc..They still end up costing you over $100K+, but they're light, (under 3,000lbs) and in some cases over 600hp.

Not even comparable. A lot of those are probably manufactured kits, his is built from the ground up. Forming the panels to the chassis. If it's not a problem, how many people have you known that was able to build a car from nothing.
Regardless of how many times someone has done it, it's still an achievement to build something like this in your basement.
I agree it's an achievement, but it's nothing new or different.
People create kits by themselves not all of those are manufactured kits, like the Murcielago which is a one of a kind. A lot of the manufactured kits don't fit well.

If you scroll down you will see the process to hand making one from scratch. Of course, the more time and money you spend the better and more realistic it will look. That site is pretty retarded, (it's not that cheap or easy) but it's just an example. A lot of people build custom ones and sell them for profits, you can check out the kitcar forums, there are threads out there with the entire build process.

Another poster owner here. I think it's pretty damn cool. The fact that he did it is incredible in and of itself. But if ti was me, I would rather have built a classic Shelby Cobra or GT40 replica. But I do love the look of the Countach. Classic Lamborghini.
