      He didn’t even do that. Sponsoring it makes it sound like he paid for it. Which he didn’t. 10,000 hours at $150/hr USA $1.5M car. Someone is lying here.

    So a guy that can afford to buy all these items himself gets loads of sponsors just because of who he is. I would rather hear from a guy that did it himself. Some guy from left field that nobody has ever heard of that was going to get it done even without the sponsors.

    I LIKE IT !!! At fifteen, I got a new '69 Firebird, my first new car. Special ordered, without goodies I would opt for today. It helped that dad owned a Pontiac dealership. So, it did not really cost anything. Sadly, had to let it go after putting demo mileage on it. About three years later, the Firebird was a trade-in and I drove it for a year or so.

      Would have been MUCH BETTER if told by the poor bastards who built this and actually had to put up with this horrible asshole as a micromanaging customer. My heart goes out to them. Sounds like he didn’t value any of the craftsmen that built the car l.
