Ron the car was finished good 10years ago
And he’scdriving till now. Not daily but still driving
We don’t get together much now days so I did not see him last few years

That is a really beautiful build.  He took a lot of time to make it look right.  I have just one problem with it.  If you look at the part 1 video at the 4:15 mark, the front wheel through its motion while turning moves far back in the wheel well.  That indicates to me the wheels were positioned out to the correct width by using wheel spacers.  That should be a "bear" to drive.  When those front wheels hit a bump, they will send a lot of force back to the steering wheel, not to mention slow driving effort at the steering wheel.  If he has power steering, that will be diminished but it still doesn't look right to me.  Otherwise, a great job on finishing an awesome build.

eddie:
he is in Canada and I know he has OEM chassis , most parts are original besides power train, and body. and if Lamborgini in Toronto admired that car no one knocked on his door. we knew the parts manager who sold to kit car builders parts without VIN. I too bought some for my Diablo. OH, BTW the Manager died of alcohol-related habit about 10 years ago. also, Spyros start building that car when Countach parts were still available and he got some from Europe.

I'm not really a fan of the Countach and know little about them... so not much point me critiquing the build.

Yes but when SEMA introduced the Model Legislation to standardize the specialty car registration in all 50 states, it said the car should be titled as whatever it resembles, with things like a '32 Ford in mind. Several states, including Texas and California, passed this legislation. I am aware of at least three cars there that were titled as a Lambo before the State Legislatures could come back into session and fix this obvious flaw.
