BMW Hurrican based on a 2002 Ti

In 1966, a BMW Hurricane turned upside-down Germany's car scene. "Use a serial chassis, serial technology and serial components to built an exclusive double-seated sports car which should be as low-cost and high-tech as possible" the BMW representative Werner Bönschtold the 'Meisterschule of Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau' in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

BMW urgently needed a 2-seated sports coupé at this time. Bönsch just had to supply the material which was way cheaper than employing BMW's own engineers. In case the car should turnout to be apt for serial production he could still buy it afterwards.

With permission of BMW, in 1964, a Swiss Student Max Seelaus created an unique car body, using BMW's technical components. As it was his final year project on the way to achieving his degree as 'Konstruktions-Techniker', Max Seelaus went about the project with enthusiasm. His car should be a masterpiece. And indeed, it has become one. When the contract was signed, Seelaus started scetching and calculating. Soon it became clear that the car was to feature a self-supporting sheet steel body with integrated steel tubes as lateral cross beams.

Unique Guitar Car

In 2004 Ray purchased a 1968 Ford station wagon in Santa Cruz, CA. He drove the car to San Jose where he parked it on the street and started sawing off the body. Finally there was nothing left except the chassis. Check out this cool guitar car. As a petrol head and guitar lover, this is right up my street! Hope you like it!

Ray started designing and building the guitar body. The guitar was hand fabricated from 18 guage steel sheets and angle iron. There was no shop to work in and tools consisted of a jig saw a power hand saw with a steel cutting blade.
