this is awesome, the design aspect of it too. Ive gone through my high school's solid works program (only 3 levels) and this still blows everything out of proportion. It'd probably take me a semester to come up with a working suspension assembly, but we only got 1.5 hours on the computer a day

Bump for updates :beer:
Damn, I was really trying to put together an update before this got bumped again. I'm going to be going overseas very soon so I'm busy trying to wrap everything up and mothball the project but hopefully soon I'll have some time to sort through my pictures and do a little write up on what I was able to get done.

I also have been dedicating a lot of my time to my 3D scanning project. I've purchased some hardware and software to scan and convert items into full feature tree solidworks models and my goal is to have a significant portion of the car's components scanned in so I can continue designing and building the car while I'm gone.

Sorry for the cliff hanger. I'll make sure to get as much up here as I can as quickly as possible.

Too bad. Get on those updates!

Good!

Seriously impressive, though. Being able to virtually build is a fantastic tool in your arsenal. :thumbup: :beer:

I should be able to dive back into this soon. I've been digging through my old pictures and drawings to try to remember where I left off and to get some motivation again.


These are a bit out of order, I think they were taken before I cut into the trunk, but I thought I should have some new pictures to add.

Bumper that I filled/shaved the Aux & fog light holes plus a new carbon fiber lip.
