Artist building every part of 1969 Ford Mustang entirely out of paper - full size

1969 ford mustang paper engine by jonathan brand

Our friend Christopher from Colossal is an expert-level Internet tracker of all that is cool in the world of art. We shared some cow-car statues he found recently, but his latest find ups the ante more than a few notches. In fact, we think you'll find he's broken the scale, especially if you happen to be a fan of classic muscle cars.

Artist Jonathan Brand likes working with a variety of mediums, but he is wildly skilled when it comes to handling paper. Brand is also a fan of the 1969 Ford Mustang. Combining his passion for both in a way that only a skilled artist can, Brand has set about the task of building the full-scale Ford entirely out of paper. Not just the shell, mind you, but every single item on the original car will have been born from a tree.

So far, the Brooklyn, New York artist has completed the engine, a wheel and tire, and one of the doors. The accuracy he can achieve in this medium is amazing, and we are eagerly awaiting the day when he folds that last piece and the whole thing comes together. We're guessing it's going to be a while, but we'll be waiting. While you're waiting, check out Brand's work in more detail at his website.

Vergne gets Monza win back

Jean-Eric Vergne's Formula Renault 3.5 title hopes have received a major boost after the penalty that cost him victory at Monza in May was overturned. After meeting in Milan on Thursday to hear an appeal lodged by Carlin, the Court of Appeal of the CSAI (Italian Motorsports Commission) quashed the post-race time penalty imposed on Vergne following race two at the Monza meeting. The penalty had been awarded by race officials when Vergne was judged to have maintained the lead of the race by cutting a chicane when ISR's Daniel Ricciardo had attempted an overtaking manoeuvre.
