JoeyM has been chronicling the build of his 1932 Datsun replica since 2010. In dog years, that’s like half a century. The latest news? The engine runs and idles. As he explains, “It is basically an attempt to use locost-style construction to make a 1930s-type body, powered by a Datsun drivetrain.”

Another fan of this build checking in. Building a car from photos is such an amazing undertaking.
