From myth to masterpiece, the first street car he ever built will become a legend. The curvaceous Daedalus roadster, hand-built from scratch over a span of 17 years in a two-car garage, is a one-off original design with a hand-formed aluminum body, 302-cubic-inch GMC inline six-cylinder engine, C4 Corvette suspension, Truspoke wire wheels, and custom leather interior.
Inspired by European sports roadsters that ruled Sebring, Le Mans, and high-end tracks around the world in the late 50s and early 60s, owner and builder Kris Heil incorporated styling cues from Aston Martin, Jaguar, Ferrari, and Porsche without copying any particular design. Come along as Nicole Johnson learns the art of the English wheel and takes Kris for a coastal ride across Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur, California.
ABOUT KRIS HEIL: Kris is a retired firefighter from Northern California who serves as crew chief for his brother's Formula Ford race team. He is currently accepting offers to purchase The Daedalus. For more info about The Daedalus and how to reach Kris, please visit his website.

Like others here, I've been into engineering, metalworking and have been building race cars and tube chassis' for decades. In 35 years this is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. Everything is just absolutely gorgeous. Understated. The entire combo works flawlessly and oh my word, the bodywork! The visual look is nothing short of perfection. Timeless. Prettiest car I have ever seen. Nothing to be changed or improved. Unbelievable work Kris! Once you master the english wheel and start forming panels, the sky is the limit. Something I DON'T do a lot of. But can admire even more so when you understand how painstaking and patient you need to be. And moreover - skilled!

@@russcooke5671 I am not on YT showing what I do. I am on quite a few of "A Foreigner in the Philippines" (search Kerry when on that channel), but my history was building race, rally, speedway cars & also performing left to right hand drive conversions on imported cars. I was a teacher of panelbeating (body work for the US folk) in N.S.W. Australia for 13 years. I then moved to California for 11 years completing restoration work on pre & post WWII cars. I also built hot rods & custom cars & trucks. Now back in Australia basically retired but doing a lot of "hand forming" of car & bike panels no longer readily available. Yes I have an English Wheel, along with a shop full of the necessary tools & equipment that is required for this kind of work. One of the good YT channels is "Make It Kustom" & for a young bloke, Karl is talented and shows a lot of ways of doing things with basic tools. That is something I used to teach my night classes (hobby class) after showing & demonstrating all the equipment the college had, was then to show the class how to do the same at home with basic gear.

This is one of the most gorgeous cars I’ve ever seen. The midnight emerald green was the perfect color to show off the stunningly sexy body lines! The body truly does pay homage to so many sport coups of the 1960’s: Jaguar, Ferrari, Lotus, Aston Martin, Cobra; without copying anyone of them. Oh, and the classic European straight 6 exhaust note. Just perfect! If that car had been put into production in the 1960’s it would’ve been a legend among its peers! Exquisite in every way!!!

I am very thankful to RU-vid's algorithm to make me stumble into this amazing story. Thankful for Nicole and her team to have produced this video. And specially, very thankful to Kris Heil for having produced this precious beauty in his golden years and to make a dream came true. After being questioned why he wants to sell his Daedalus, Kris replies: "I am a builder not a collector". But I tell you this, Kris: you are living evidence that one can achieve his/hers dreams, no matter how old one is. And, perhaps, this is the most valuable lesson one can take from your creation. To dare to create, to dare to live life at its fullest, with a true and meaningful sense of Life. What an inspiration! Wow! A final sweet note for Kris’ wife (Cindy?) who, as @Nicolas Ruvalcaba correctly pointed out, has a great deal of credit. Cindy and Kris both bring an inspiring example of what Love really is (or should be), which reminds me a Erich Fromm’s line of what Love is about: "In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two”. Thank you! PS - did you notice the feedback this video got from the audience? 3.600 replies out of 13.000 likes, that makes probably the highest RU-vid interaction rate ever. Well done!

What a testament to his engineering skills that the car was able to handle the accident as well as it did. To come back and improve it is inspiring. I don't recall seeing another home-built special sorted to this level. I love his choice of the big GMC inline-6 with such unique old-school hot rod components as it truly fits the car. Seeing how he was able to use enough off-the-shelf parts to keep it easy to service also shows an extra degree of thoughtfulness. Whoever ends up buying it will be one lucky individual!

It is a tube chassis car. It is very very good at passager protection. It is superior aproach to anything mass produced. Downside of design is, in general, lack of usable space. This car is good example - while it fits only two people it still can't cary more than 4 grocery bags and maybe fifth wheel.

What a fantastic car! Amazing build, and it makes exactly the right noise! Kris did a great job. And what an honour to get to drive it. I'm amazed that Nicole has never driven the PCH before. I'm a Brit and a retired video editor, but in the 80's and 90's I visited the US at least once a year, and I did it 4 times! It is indeed a magical place. Some of the views are among the best in the world. On one occasion I stayed in a tiny motel at a place called Lucia, about half way through Big Sur. It was right on the edge between the road and a sheer drop into the Pacific. It had little cabins with decks and getting up in the morning I sat on the deck with a coffee and just looked at the view.

I've always wanted to build a custom ride, since I don't have the garage space to build a car I'm going to start with a motorcycle. Seeing a build like this give me so much inspiration to be more creative and do more research before I begin the build. This is one of those vehicles that both fits in and completely stands out at any car meet or show.

This man deserves immense credit for his knowledge, skill, creativity and persistence in the face of adversity. He is living proof no matter what problem life throws you a true indication of your character is how you choose to respond to it. His humility allowed him see the hit and run crash not just as a tragedy but rather an opportunity to refine the original design and make it better which is yet more proof he's truly a class act!

What an honor to be able to see such a wonderful creation, especially through the always thoughtful, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable Nicole Johnson viewpoint! Kris built a car cobbled out of the dreams of everyone who grew up admiring the wonderful sports cars of the 1950's and early 1960's. But he built it so much better! I first learned to drive in a Jaguar XK-150 - when it would run... The Daedalus is so much more! Thank you Nicole!!!

Chris isn't just a fabricator designer, engineer etc he is pure artist. The Dadalous is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The body lines and subtleties he incorporated show his artistry and his love of design. I hope we all get a chance to see his next creation. With everything he has learned the next one should be fabulous. Barrett Jackson auctioneers would have a field day with this one and it surely would finance his next creation with alot in reserve.

I build furniture and fix cars, was a cadcam draftsman, also cook, but now work in IT for state government and Chris just showed me my dream retirement life, wonder if it will happen for me, but if it doesn't I'm so glad to see this!! Nicole I missed you giving a comment to Chris' ultimate compliment to you when he said he doesn't usually ride shotgun and (it's the first time) he feels totally comfortable with you driving. That's from a man who spent what, 17 years creating (yes i'm going to use that word) the vehicle, got into a wreck by a wreckless driver, and rebuilding, that is an ultimate expression of a man's capability over some material things put together, and people like you and me actually see the love in humanity over a moving art object. I could see myself learning the english wheel now that my kids are grown, thanks for sharing this with all of us.
