This is a nameplate I made for my father-in-law. He collects cars, so I duplicated one of them in wood. Anybody able to tell what kind it is?

I was going to say 280Z but the back looks different.

DeTomaso Pantera? Regardless of what it is, it’s a pretty cool project!

Well, I knew it wasn’t a VW Beetle – but it still looks great. I was with Karson on the 280Z, except for the rear end.

I couldn’t even begin to guess what kind of car it is but the project is one to be proud of. The detailed work is stunning.

What kind of wood did you use?
