1951 CHEVROLET PICKUP – COPACETIC

Image
From time to time, a truck is built that comes together so perfectly that it is almost a piece of art rather than a form of transportation. Like a Hollywood starlet, these trucks cause jaws to drop, hearts to race, and palms to sweat. Scott Anderson of Denver, Colorado, wanted a truck that made people stop in their tracks and he knew the exact shop to do the work. Cope Design, also in Denver, took Scott’s 1951 Chevy pickup and transformed it into a rolling masterpiece. The first step in the build process was to scrap the factory frame. To replace this, a call was made to Roadster Shop and a full frame was ordered. The frame came with a Corvette C6 front clip and the guys at Cope added a set of Wilwood six-piston disc brakes to it. In the rear, a four-link with a Panhard bar offers a great ride, while another set of Wilwoods provide the stopping power. Enveloping the massive Wilwood brakes is an equally impressive set of Raceline Explosion 22×8½ and 22×12-inch wheels. Since the beautifu

SKYRUNNER - Honestly, who wouldn’t want a flying car?

Image
Honestly, who wouldn’t want a flying car? Commonplace items that hinder mere regular people are no longer your problem. For example, say you are driving along taking in the fall foliage and a lake gets in your way. Wrapped in the fiberglass and carbon fiber body is a 1 liter 4 cylinder engine that takes the sub 1000 pound SkyRunner to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and tops out at 115 mph. Shift into aviation mode and the parasail will whisk you up to 15,000 feet while cruising at 55 mph. Available mid 2014. sourse:coolmaterial.com

Awesome Upside - Down Car Turns Driving Literally on Its Head

Image
Jeff Bloch, a.k.a. Speedycop, is an American race-car enthusiast who likes to create all sorts of crazy contraptions for the popular 24-hour LeMons Race. His latest achievement – an upside-down vehicle he describes as “a frightening fusion of a wretched 1990 Ford Festiva and a horrible 1999 Chevy Camaro, with a not-so-subtle twist”. Just two months after making headlines with a Cessna airplane converted into a race car, Jeff Bloch is in the spotlight once again, this time with a ridiculous upside-down car. To create this one-of-a-kind freak on wheels, he stripped off the Fiesta’s body and replaced it with the upside-down carcass of the Chevy Camaro. So he is basically driving a Ford Fiesta that looks like an inverted Camaro.  The Ford’s underpowered 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine has thus been saddled with the body of the much larger car, including the extra set of wheels, making it easy prey during a race. But then again, Speedycop didn’t really build it to win the LeMons, just the at

Amazing Lamborghini Aventador Model Made Entirely Out of Paper and Cardboard

Image
Seattle-based designer Taras Lesko has spent the last few months building a nearly-life-size replica of the Lamborghini Aventador exclusively out of printing paper and cardboard. We first featured Taras Lesko’s paper masterpieces back in 2010, shortly after he had completed his amazing 4-foot-tall Freedom Gundam. In 2011 he surprised us all again with an even more impressive 7-foot Gundam made with 1,250 distinct paper parts cut out of 720 pages.  Taras took a two-year-long break after that, but he has recently unveiled his latest work of art, a stunning paper-and-cardboard replica of the Lamborghini Aventador sports car. Using his design skills, the Seattle-based artist created all the necessary parts in computer programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and AfterEffects, printed them on hundreds of sheets of paper and used a precise X-Acto knife to cut them loose. To make sure his paper Aventador was sturdy enough to move around, Lesko used thick chipboard as a frame for the ultra-l

He is also an avid collector of vehicles. His favorites are the classic Deuce Coupes and 1932 Ford Roadsters. He also has a 1932 three-window Ford coupe, which he copied from the car used in the classic movie called “American Graffiti.” He set out to create an exact replica after losing out in an auction to buy the original one.
