This beautiful wooden car featured here is not a result of any modification. This one is built from scratch by its creator Friend Wood. This one-of-a-kind wooden car titled Tryane II is hand-made through a process similar to that used by boat builders. The car weighs 900 pounds and it is capable of hitting a top speed of 100mph (160 km/h). It took Friend almost 2000 hours to create this work-of-art!
The bodyshell was to be formed from dozens of narrow strips of mahogany veneer, glued with epoxy resin, laid in 3 layers over a male mould. Once removed from the mould the shell would be stiffened up using marine plywood bullkheads and boxes to form the inner structure and give mounting points for suspension and engine/gearbox. It is real great idea that proves that either Autopartswarehouse fanatics or not is still have resourceful ability.
