      That's what I came here looking to do, I know this comment is 2y/o but any tips on "the small details"? My car already has the big things done, like body kit, suspension, rims etc. But yeah what small things should I consider?

    Biggest tip I can think of is make a parts list and write down the prices and put them in order from the thing you want the most to the the thing you want the least. It helped me out when I was doing it correctly and still had money for them. everything.

  • @anthonyo7425
    @anthonyo7425 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'd say have patience. Even if the build takes you 5 years for only a few parts it's all about the fun you will have in experimenting on the car and finding out what is really going to make it YOUR car

    • @anybudz

      Unpopular Approach: Daily drive the "project car" while accumulating most of the parts you need/want... then try to knock out the build in a year

    Biggest mistake I see during builds is doing panel and paint too soon, before the rest of the build has been completely finished

  • @cassiusdio6048
    @cassiusdio6048 ปีที่แล้ว

    i start from the inside out, that is if you don't do anything to what's under the hood, then it isn't a show car. i add horsepower, that alone adds to the look, keep it all clean and fresh, and that includes exhaust btw.
    then i move to suspension and breaks, tires and rims, during all this i am thinking and doing things to the interior, lastly at least for me is the exterior. and after all that you still probably will not be done, lol.

    So I have my slammed 2019 Nissan Sentra....I kept hearing a grinding noise at speed going through intersections only on my front driver side. After ignoring it for a month I finally shine a flashlight under there and find I have ground my hood latch cable to bare wire and hanging on by 3 wires. My first thought: "wow I need to zip tie that out of the way. Shibi ight"

    • @FearofFeedback
      @FearofFeedback 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know this is 2 years ago, but there is this amazing thing called plastic welding. You can use a solder iron to heat a piece of abs plastic, push a segment of metal mesh into the softened plastic to bridge the gap, and then fill any imperfections by using zip ties as filler rods. There are tutorials on TH-cam that explain the process better.
