Over the weekend I found this story over at autoblog.it and I  
completely forgot to bring it to you yesterday.

But being a Mercedes site, we had to give love to Udo Haase, a master  
craftsman who painstakingly recreated Mercedes' legendary 300 SL  
Gullwing out of pine. The endeavor took Haase roughly 2,500 hours to  
complete, and was constructed without any screws or nails; only glue  
was used to hold the pieces together.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is dedication.
