I can see I am going to have problem if I ever finish my car. I am scratch building a coupe. I have been asked if I was building a kit car when someone drove by and my wooden buck was outside. Other have asked "a wooden car how are you going to get inside to drive it". When I explained that it was a buck to build an aluminum body over it. They wanted to know how you get the wood out after it was done. I ended up telling them I was using the lost buck method and when I was done I would burn the wood out.

Other have asked if I was building a kit car . I had to tell them yes. I then went on to tell them that I did not own enough land to harvest enough trees to make my own plywood . I told then the same thing about not enough land to mine the ore to smelt my own steel and aluminum to make the tubing and sheet metal to build it. I had to buy those items so I guess I am building a kit car!
