This is an interesting site I discovered whilst doing some research on an odd bench vise I have:
http://toolmonger.com/about/
Pretty neat, with all kinds of talk about all kinds of tools, tips on their uses, and sources.
It's pretty wide - something to explore if you want to while away a few hours.

T4WD augury?

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Re: Toolmonger Tool Talk Site
Pretty neat!
Of recent memory (OK, my sometimes-functioning memory), there was the early '60s Brit Marcos GT, which used a plywood subframe.
I also seem to recall an Italian (?) woodcarver who made a number of wooden cars - nothing like the Splinter on the link you supplied, though! Wow!
I note that the Splinter was pictured on a carrier deck - wonder why? There is also a pix next to a Mosquito - a link to the Marcos, as Frank Costin (yes, that Costin) was a designer of the Mosquito was also an early principal in the Marcos Company.
Off-subject a bit - here is a link to a Wikipedia site that lists about 400 (!) defunct BritMobileManufacturers' Wiki sites - fascinating for the BritMobile voyeurs among us! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:D ... ed_Kingdom
