RE: Webb Automotive Golden Submarine

[DrGP]

Fantastic vehicle!
Isn't that the exhaust pipe - the lagged tube to the left of the driver running through the cabin? Could make things a tad warm in there.

[JRM Rossi]

lovley looking car BUT PROPSHAFT BETWEEN LEGS!!! count me out !

[tstas]

looks a bit like a hotrod thats because it probably is.

[markoos]

Looks amazing - but won't it be prone to rolling with the track being so narrow?

[Scotty996T]

now that's a car - we seem to have become so bland and safe

[130R]

[jreddihough]

that looks sweeeet. I'd put some money on that ending up in Jay Leno's garage to add to the collection.

Thats st, very misleading title, I came on here expecting to see a submarine made of gold specifically designed to for cars to be held in, or at least a Jewish racing gold Cortina with underwater capabilities

[AUDIHenry]

Man, I love those rims and tires.

[HAB]

I want it.

[Scottish_ninja]

Absolutely gorgeous.

Hand crafted Aluminium.... amazing skills.
Neat discs - are they fixed to the rims? with the caliper on the stub?

[ceriw]

to the point - is this a boat tail?, or wasp point?

Pure automotive pornography! Beautiful- give me one of those over any other supercar that has ever been built any day of the week- this coming from a 24 year old!

[beasto]

Gorgeous.

Re the propshaft between the driver's legs, the World War 2 P-39 Airacobra had its engine behind the pilot, with the propeller shaft running under the seat.

love the rims, tyres should be white-walls

I have been following the construction of this work of art for the last couple of years. Dan Webb has been producing amazing work in the hotrod world for years now and has had a hand in a large number of very significant cars.

He showed the chassis of this thing at the SEMA show last year and the detail work will take your breath away.

Now if I remember rightly the prop shaft does run in a tube so hopefully if things do go south you will still be left with your plums intact.

This car is a testament to what a skilled craftsman can do with hand tools and an English Wheel.. Perfect

Fantastic!

Is that shape really from 1917 (or a replica of that era)?! That must have looked completely alien in a world of Mercedes 18/100s and Prince Henry Vauxhalls.

Want one.

The apple does not fall far from the tree, here is Ashley Webb's, Dan's 20 year old daughters latest project which she helped design and build.....
