I Build Tiny Cars Out Of Old Fridges | RIDICULOUS RIDES

CLASSIC cars have been reenvisioned as miniature versions and collected in a dwarf car museum. Ernie Adams, of Maricopa, Arizona, has been creating his incredible scaled-down replicas of full-size cars since 1965, starting with his version of a 1928 Chevy two-door sedan. The original car, known as Grandpa Dwarf, was made out of nine old refrigerators and is still running today. Since then, Ernie, now in his late-70s, has made hundreds of 11/16th scale dwarf cars, from racers to cruisers all fully drivable and road-legal. One of the gems of his collection is his take on the 1949 Mercury two-door coupe, which he built entirely from scratch using flat sheet metal.

.....the "scale speed" would be 145 mph. Pretty cool. When he slams the door behind him as he gets into the car, you can hear how solid and well build the car really is. Has he really built "hundreds" of these dwarf cars? If so, probably not as well built as this one.
