Scott Garner in most states if you build something with your own hands that has turn signals, headlights, brake lights, seat belts, and can go fast enough then it can be registered as a kit car, and in states with emissions you have to pass the emissions tests. I’ve seen guys make home built sand rails street legal here in Oklahoma...
This guy: Builds a racecar with pushrod suspension from scratch. Also this guy: Cuts a rubber hose with a sharp knife on top of his own racing slick tyre.
Why bother everyone else is driving their giant burgerboxes drunk, drugged out, half a sleep and or staring their phones. If its commiefornia you can forget about getting any compensation anyways as the other party is most likely an illegal with a driver's s license based on false ID. Best keep it illegal so you are always 110% alert when driving it on the roads.
Mind the hoop bar (definitely worth redesign/weld), when you were sitting in it your head was hitting it. If anything happens your helmet and/or skull will appreciate the extra breathing room.
This is a thing of beauty. That sound when you were tanking it down the straight! Must be insanely quick, weighs about the same as a shoe I should think!
Are they, though? When he's sitting in the car without a helmet, I wondered what would happen if the car was upside down and he was wearing a helmet. Probably would've protruded a bit.
LOVE my '99 Boxster. Have owned well over 100 cars...many much newer and with far more power...but it has been the most enjoyable of all. Your (completely useless) comment illustrates that some people can't resist opportunities to bring others down.
Love your passion. My 944 developed a head gasket leak so I thought it was a good time to learn how to rebuild engines. While not nearly as difficult as what you've done here, it just goes to show you that if you have the time and resources, you can do just about anything these days. At 56, it's probably a little late for me to build my own car, but it is something that gnaws at me, especially when I see people like you that go for it and do it. Keep it up. Loving what I'm seeing. God bless and merry Christmas
@@FT-64 definitely good to run AMod for autocross, and probably some time trial class. Maybe getting a good hoop over the drivers head and Hill Climbs would be fine too!
I'll be 70 in April, I quit racing stock cars 15 years ago and got into BMW motorcycles. I tend to want to race everyone in the twistys, the Tail of the Dragon is visited about twice a summer. I still run my auto diagnostic and electrical repair shop. I just bought a 97 Miata from the 60ish lady who bought it new. My dog rides the bike with me, but we haven't been on the bike since I bought the Miata. It's needed some work, but basically is a sound car, and man it handles. It's been so long since I've driven a "real sports car". Your project car is really quite nice, I don't do big projects any more, never did really like them. You have a lot of talent and skills. As far as the crankcase pressure goes, you can use the exhaust to pull it into a "vacuum", there's power in a low pressure sump. Super late models use the dry sump pump to do it, or some use a belt driven vacuum pump to pull the pressure down. Smokey said the rings seal better, and there's less windage, oil can't stay suspended as much. The power trick was discovered by accident by the fellow who was taking care of the Buick V6 Indy engines. An engine showed up for refreshment with the breather system sealed and they dyno tested it not knowing it was sealed prior to building, and it made too much hp. They moved it to another dyno and it still made too much power. Anyway have fun and stay safe.
Hey this is just what I wanted to see! I’ve been building my own 90’s era f1 inspired car for 4 years now. I utilize a lot of VW and Porsche parts. Also has a Porsche engine and transaxle. Biggest difference between our cars is definitely the aero!
Drivers were dieing very young. These cars didn't offer very much protection for their drivers. Jimmy Clark died in a crash at Hockenheimring at 32 years old.
The entry level formula classes are like this, but with a carbon monocoque! I had the privilege to get a race track training (on the Oschersleben DTM track in Germany) with Formula BMW cars and they where somewhat similar to this, but with a motorcycle race engine that revs to 12.000 or so. It felt so amazing and the power/weight ratio was enough to propel it in under 3 seconds to 100kmh but the top speed isn’t too dangerously fast. It was amazing for me as a mediocre track day driver and not too much to handle. The sequential transmission with a clutch was a bit new at the beginning, even if I’m used to manual gearboxes, but once you learned to shift it above 8k without the need for clutching it became second nature. Everybody who has the chance to get into a open wheel single seater should definitely use it, it’s like no car you’ve ever driven before. All the high power BMW M4 and M5s I’ve driven felt boring and cumbersome compared to this, even if they had 600+ hp compared to the 190 or so hp of the formula car. And once you get above a certain corner speed and feel the wings do their work, it’s insane! It feels like you’re driving on train tracks! I’ve never experienced so much grip in my entire life!
Much of the safety improvements in F1 have to do with improved track and runoff areas. Also better corner workers. Some of the safety features could be easily integrated into a throwback F1 car. Fuel cells, fire extinguishers. No wings or ground effects to slow down the cars. F1 now has little appeal. The races are processions of one highly regulated one design spec racers. Even though they have budgets like space programs.
neat! But one thing: the tyres: they used Bias-ply and threaded tyres, AVON Tyres makes replica's of those tyres (even going as far as using the same molds and manufacturing technique) The reason i mention is that the tyres from that era didn't gave much grip and cornering and the drivers had to adapt to it.
I happened across this after searching for Michelin tires. Immediately subscribed and hit the thumbs up button. Enjoy the build and ride! I love the fact you are out there doing this project and can't wait to follow the journey and all the learning opportunities...
Well done mate , out here in (Australia) blokes that build these types of vehicles are called "Backyarders" ,you are now one of that fine body of men that can wear that name with pride! The name denotes people that follow thru with there ideas, not just talk about them. Keep up the good work, follow your dreams.
I have to say I'm completely blown away by the incredible range of skills and talent you possess and the depth to which you seem to possess them. You remind me, more than anyone else, of the late, Great Smoky Yunick. You also remind me of Mike Patey, the aviator, engineer, fabricator and all-round master craftsman.
You're frickin awesome. I love seeing that the new generation of car fans is starting to get in to more classic designs. I can't wait to see what the bodywork looks like.
Dude, that drive to the coffee shop, talk me through your hair care regimen! Its immaculate! Love the car, captures the spirit of the time very well. Subscribed and looking forward to more!
Love this! Want this! You need to start your own track car business building this for those of us crazy enough to want to drive this with eternal smiles on our faces. You are amazing.
Good job! I’d love to see step by step or progress videos on any further projects. Some of the guys doing restorations (Cheftush, Rusty Beauties) are great at showing progression. Keep up the good work!
I once built a slot car version of this in 1/25th scale...this is my favorite type moto sport car of all time as well...good luck and smooth sailing all the way...you are living my dream
Man. This vid was sooooooooo cool the only thing that upset me, and I've NEVER been upset about any other vid EVER, is you can only sub to you like, once, instead of A THOUSAND TIMES!!! What an absolute GEM. Every bit of it. Can't wait to see future stuff, Fantastic. Masive respect from over here in the UK.
The thing I love about it is that it has such a striking appearance. It almost looks like a gnarly shack build, being that it's totally naked with all its messy parts exposed, but like in a really cool, paradoxically fancy and well-structured way. It kinda looks like a mean robot. I also love the low-slung angle you took with it, with the cockpit being tucked low and "inside" the wheelbase if you will, instead of on top of it like a tamer and more relaxed car would have. That to me just gives it a really hunched, attacking look (but then again, it's a formula car, so why am I even pointing that out?). Overall, everything about it speaks racing. It's as low to the ground and strikingly straightforward and efficient as you can get. Sweet looking car.
I know it’s not the same as having it in video but I’ve designed a suspension before so here are some useful things to look into if you’re interested: Racecar Design - Derek Seward (Really accessible book that walks through why certain engineering decisions are made) To go deeper: Racecar Vehicle Dynamics - Milliken & Milliken (Pretty much the bible of vehicle dynamics) They also wrote a book on chassis design too.

It's probably been said here already but that's a lot of tire for such a lightweight car. May be hard to get to temp! Awesome idea, love these kinds of minimalist exo cars!
Wesley - I discovered this channel last night. Been binge watching!!! I don't understand why your channel hasn't exploded yet. You deserve way more subscribers and views.
@@bradsailer7739 You can build it but you can't take it out on public roads. We have safety regulations for a reason and it's pretty crazy to ignore them to such an extent. I don't want to drive around shit that people cobbled together in their sheds. If your build is that good you can study the laws and make the car road worthy by checking every box. It's possible and some have done it. But good luck getting it right on your own, often multi billion dollar manufacturers with decades of experience and huge RnD budgets have a hard time with these regulations.
Even in germany there are ways around it. To make it street legal could be a pain in the butt, but there are some ways to get that thing moving at least now and then. Those ways are originally meant for dealers to move a car no matter what and are often used by car afficinados to move a car on it's own axle. Furthermore: Germany is part of the EU. So you 'only' need to register in another country. Yes, that is not cheap and it's complicated but can be done. I knew a guy who made his 'Harley' driveable on the street, that way. He ran a british licence plate... but I bet there are options even after the brexit.
For me the mid 70's F1 cars are the golden era, nice that you managed to create this beast, now it will be possible just to build chassis and just slam whatever engine you have available and race like the old days Ps: cannot wait for the external body kit 🙌🏽
My brother i subbed straight away. A tip though, don't sound like your reading of a script. Thats the only thing I could find. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to whT elE happens with the car
I knew right away it had to be Phoenix. Only place on Earth you will see Saguaros and that much grass. Fantastic build. I hope to see it at Inde someday.

Im so excited for your project because i was laying in bed dreaming up the idea then i googled old 60s f1 cars and began wondering how i could make one...i thought hmm boxster? Then looked some more and you did it!!!!
Bro, I'm really impresed. I love monoposts, old formulas, and many cars looking like them. I'm building one-seater "replica" of Morgan Three-Wheeler. Your idea use an old Boxster is amazing, and i wish, one day it could be street-legal.

I know it’s not the same as having it in video but I’ve designed a suspension before so here are some useful things to look into if you’re interested:
Racecar Design - Derek Seward
(Really accessible book that walks through why certain engineering decisions are made)
To go deeper: Racecar Vehicle Dynamics - Milliken & Milliken
(Pretty much the bible of vehicle dynamics)
They also wrote a book on chassis design too.
Each car is different and has different fixed constraints, so it’s a mix of designing the chassis & suspension around those packaging constraints, and then optimising the geometry for the desired static & dynamic characteristics of the vehicle (discussed in those books).

Wesley - I discovered this channel last night. Been binge watching!!! I don't understand why your channel hasn't exploded yet. You deserve way more subscribers and views.
If I did something like that in Germany I would be in jail for the rest of my life now
Why? No freedom to build?
@@bradsailer7739 You can build it but you can't take it out on public roads. We have safety regulations for a reason and it's pretty crazy to ignore them to such an extent. I don't want to drive around shit that people cobbled together in their sheds. If your build is that good you can study the laws and make the car road worthy by checking every box. It's possible and some have done it. But good luck getting it right on your own, often multi billion dollar manufacturers with decades of experience and huge RnD budgets have a hard time with these regulations.
@@frankthetankricard thank you for the insight!
What could be worse than life in prison?
Even in germany there are ways around it. To make it street legal could be a pain in the butt, but there are some ways to get that thing moving at least now and then. Those ways are originally meant for dealers to move a car no matter what and are often used by car afficinados to move a car on it's own axle. Furthermore: Germany is part of the EU. So you 'only' need to register in another country. Yes, that is not cheap and it's complicated but can be done. I knew a guy who made his 'Harley' driveable on the street, that way. He ran a british licence plate... but I bet there are options even after the brexit.
For me the mid 70's F1 cars are the golden era, nice that you managed to create this beast, now it will be possible just to build chassis and just slam whatever engine you have available and race like the old days
Ps: cannot wait for the external body kit 🙌🏽
When you know function is more important then how you look to others. Good to see others like this.
You are a very smart young man. I'm always amazed by people who have the mechanical mind.
My brother i subbed straight away.
A tip though, don't sound like your reading of a script. Thats the only thing I could find. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to whT elE happens with the car
These are the type of people that bring us the mind blowing trend setting amazing inventions/improvements we thrive for!!!
Somewhat modified.............front and rear suspensions from the MacPherson layout of a Boxster
I knew right away it had to be Phoenix. Only place on Earth you will see Saguaros and that much grass. Fantastic build. I hope to see it at Inde someday.
2:05 Holy shit that's the extreme bean right by my house, I live just west on College! Amazing car man cant wait to see more!
Wow man ! Amazing project I love the late 60’s f1 cars, I’m a fabricator/welder, in Niagara Canada, love the channel and your ideas I’ll be staying around for sure
You could probably start a company for those super rich dudes who really want an F1 car and just have a random Boxster sitting around
Just understanding an F1 motor is an accomplishment! Good job.
1:10 [laughter] lmao
Good job man. I look forward to learning more about this build and seeing your progress.
“I build a Porsche boxter into a f1 car” my boi. There is noooo boxter left in that thing that’s just it’s own 🤣
I am 5 seconds into the video and just want to say props for attempting this. Very cool.
Driving this in my country is as illegal as selling drugs to kids
So California then?
@@BenDunlop hahahahah nope, not in the us
Love it! Super cool and great use of a Boxster, lol.. I'm with you 101% on how great the 50s-60s cars were. Yours even sounds old schooll IMHO. Keep it up..
It just pop up in my wall , and I just want to say " Dude....!!! This is art..." well done.
This is by far one of my favorite cars on all of TH-cam. Seriously, I tip my cap to you good sir.
small car channels always have the sickest car builds
Gotta respect the Harvey tune hahaha! Thats awesome to see this getting tuned at my neighborhood shop
We love our Cayman S 987.1, but suddenly looking at all those old ratted out 3.4l Boxters in a new way. Well done!
Im so excited for your project because i was laying in bed dreaming up the idea then i googled old 60s f1 cars and began wondering how i could make one...i thought hmm boxster? Then looked some more and you did it!!!!
Just stumbled on your channel... I love your content and now I'm binge watching EVERY video
Another great video Wesley, I am looking forward to watching some more of your stuff.
Bro, I'm really impresed. I love monoposts, old formulas, and many cars looking like them. I'm building one-seater "replica" of Morgan Three-Wheeler. Your idea use an old Boxster is amazing, and i wish, one day it could be street-legal.
I'm suitably excited for the fiberglass shell crafting series, since making a shell for that thing is going to be a nightmare.
The article and video were posted on The Drive and shared on one of my car enthusiast groups. I'm looking forward to seeing this project continue.
Personally I'm very pissed off and I'm very discouraged but watching this channel inspires me thank you
