'Timber Kings' star makes car out of a single piece of western red cedar

It's not just for show, you can actually take it for a spin.

CBC Daybreak Kamloops got the first sneak peak into a car made out of a single piece of western red cedar. It's all hush-hush until the big launch of it later this year.

"It has a lot of character, not just a round car. It has fins that are actually part of the original tree," said Bryan Reid Sr.,founder ofPioneer Log Homes of B.C.and one of the stars ofHGTV Canada's Timber Kings.

The tires are rubber, the axles and frames are metal, the wheels aluminum but the rest of it is all log.

Thecedar rocket as they call it could possibly bethe only wooden car in the world and is gunning for the title of the fastestlog car in the world.

The car weights 2,200 pounds and will undergo a $100,000 paint job, once the mechanics of it isdone.

It is going to be ready just in time for Christmas and it will then be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to a veteran military group.
