Sorry for the OT, but I just had to share:

"The bodyshell is made of dozens of strips of mohogany veneer, glued with epoxy resin, laid in 3 layers over a male mould. It is similar in design to the hull of some racing boats. Once removed from the mould, the shell is stiffened up using marine plywood bulkheads and boxes to form the inner structure. All wooden parts on the Tryane II are coated with epoxy for moisture resistance, which is good, especially since the fuel tank is made from wood :)"

So, can we expect a Aleut styled car from Nick :D?
