      @@colemancalgary5260 in this video he only designed and built the knock-down aero package that he can fold up and store in the car to drive it on the street to the track where he can install the aero and go for a fast run. after his run he can put it back inside the car and drive it home. Other than that, probably nothing of note.

    You know what makes this car special, it's the care and attention and commitment Jack shows it. It's not a museum piece like Jay Leno's cars, he doesn't just throw money at it. He uses his wits and ingenuity to get results with a limited budget. The car becomes part of Jacks history, not just a consumer item to be thrown out when the latest model shows up. The garage too is a work of genius. There's probably a Japanese or zen word for it, but I just call it a place for everything, and everything in it's place. Truly an inspiration.

    That's awesome, great shop. In my own tiny shop I once finished for the day, stepped outside for some cooler air, and a semi went by. The road was only ten yards away. A sliver of steel was whipped up, maybe from the sweeping up I just did. It went right into my eye, as I stood outside the shop. I was alone. No cellphone with me. I closed up and drove for an hour and a half to a hospital. Two tears and a puncture in my cornea. Jack, please wear your safety glasses more often when you use your drill press etc.

    Simplicity is a huge key for success, the old is still a very useful and updated for an everyday usage. In world that is evolving way too fast, this just shows how we can use and make with the old objects. If we all use a little bit more of the used objects, the planet will clearly appreciate. New doesn't means that it's better.
