    I'm 23 and started a company a couple years ago, I didn't have much engineering experience and funded my projects by working a construction job. I find my projects and ideas take form much faster and are typically more robust when there are adequate constraints. I dont think its a bad thing to have to budget small and work around issues I believe it sharpens your mind and grounds your idea.

    • @pivotalevent

      I think there's a lot but this is not a small task. The forge by local mother's got a 116,000 car design submissions. I am optimistic about the future. The Lucra that's never been built the ring others Pantera an Australian GT40 haltech interviewed. Direct digital to manufactured part. If they're was an automotive design platform with digital twins, generative AI, and part ordering it would make custom cars much easier but as it stands the research for what parts, learning CAD, having to weld takes so many skills. High end builds require 150K just in parts 😢. The super performance Daytona Coupe or factory 5 Daytona frame. Janerrelly design 1 front and rear on the Factory Five front mid engine they never made was my dream. With some chip foose E Type in there but even the research design and build is above my ability or pay grade. SEMA opening up there parts database, getting people on the same CAD, streamline part ordering and project planning could really help. My plan is to start with the small readily available parts from a crashed LS7 Z06. Design in Rhino or Blender or AutoCAD unsure. CNC laser cut styrofoam molds with Prepreg carbon fiber base. Laser cut CNC bent tig welded superleggera chassis and a hit formed tucked in roll cage. C6 suspension geometry beefed up tremic and a Ford 9" mated together in the rear inboard suspension like on Detroit speed rampage. 5" ground clearance with hydraulic lift Will wood Carbon 6 piston brakes. Quick Adjustable suspension and rear end that cool exposed shift links. Ricaro seats with the gromits for heated and cooled seats momo vintage steering and seatbelts. Nelson 427 aluminum block pro touring TT LSX. I know it's possible but I doubt many people could even build it. It lives in my head because I don't have a million to pay someone.

    Good on you for choosing the 1JZGTE platform. Lesser known that it's big brother the 2JZ, which is ungodly overpriced for all it's parts factory or aftermarket. 1JZ parts seems to still be somewhat reasonable, well, when you consider your working in Supra-Land, lol. Still the 1JZ has heritage and is beautifully smooth. I am honestly shocked that we didn't get it here in america and instead got the 7M-GTE & GE variant, because the 7M having been an old truck motor really wasn't the smoothest of choices in the end, but oh well.Most love the 3.0 platform, but again, that 2.5 is a smooth kitty

    Keep at it! Your work is not only great, but also inspiring. You are one of the people I have been following for a while and your build is a guide, a reference and an inspiration, as I've commented here before. It's also the reason I'm doing my videos both in English and Portuguese. Hope to see more soon!

    When I was at school I use to love drawing cars and believe it or not 43 years ago I drew a car which is so close to Lamborghini Aventador and wanted to build cars based on VW like all kit cars did in the seventies and eighties but I was always scorned and laughed at …. That is what happens when you don’t believe in yourself and follow your dream…
    Congratulations my friend and your craftsmanship and design are great and I sincerely hope you will celebrate the successful completion of your project and having lots of miles of enjoyment driving her

      Well, I don't know if it is a matter of believing in yourself and following your dreams, but usually more the fact that we choose to pursue a different path to assure our families have a little more security. I thought as a young man it was going to be cars, but ended up in architecture for a good span before I got back to "playing" with the cars. Thanks for watching the videos and joining in the delayed dreams.
