Dang nice 0620 there POCEH KOCEB !!

Thank you mqqn ! But I only helped with this project, small ideas, handing tools, helping with starting the engine and such stuff...

Spoiler: Some info about the kit and pictures from it, some car show pictures too. Sorry, no knife pix there.

I had a heavy collision body shop in the old country and I used to be professional mechanic but for this one all credits goes to my friend who bought the kit.
He got the whole chassy pretty much the way you see it for astonishing for me price - $7k... He dumped another probably $30-$40k in powder coating the frame,
proper engine upgrades, interior and really good custom paint job. The car runs like a champ with absolutely no hiccups and I was witness on numerous occasions,
when local collectors and fans of the Cobra/kits are stopping my friend to chat about details.
I'm not very familiar with the engine but I know that the body is about 4 or 6" longer than the normal kit frame and it is a Chevy engine (?).
It is eye candy, picture is nice but it is much more flashy in reality.
I like your Vette too, one of my favorite models. I worked on few of the stingray bodies in my early ears in US, in a body shop, beautiful cars they are but for me they are little bit on the high maintenance end.
With this said, who cares ? This is the salt of our hobbies and I love it.
I got few more pictures from the project, intentionally got it in the spoiler form so I wont, delude the thread without knife in the pix...
There is a link also to one of my online albums, fancy car show from 2018, few really intersting cars, please feel free to check it out, nothing that I didn't post online before, so nothing private o tricky with my album:

Why would I spend knife money on a car?!

Fair enough! I often find myself selling knives for car parts

Your Koenigsegg looks kinda like a Beemer.

Any of you guys ever get on a track?
Laguna Seca is pretty close to my house. Only been once so far but it was very fun.

Like cutchu above, I too was heavily influenced by Mad Max/The Road Warrior when I was a kid

I think I was too.

No knives, but several vintage chainsaws tools and toys.

What year is it? If 70 that would make it somewhere in late 40s to early 50s.

Also, grille/dlr and taillights have a blade theme.
