So, i remember watching a video awhile back. It was this guy making a vehicle in his garage. I was thinking about it again today working on my hardtop and i was curious to see the platform he started with. Come to find out, it was a miata! This got even more interesting.

this man has made CRAZY progress on this piece. i would love to watch all of his videos on youtube but there is just SOOOO many.

specs for the motor is 5.4l svt supercharged [550]
or just a 5.0 4V TI-VCT [412]


here are some teaser pics..... other than that, check it out for yourself.

This thing must be very odd to look at in real life.

Pics dont work i remember watching a youtube video of some Russian building his version of the ariel atom

Damn, that looks like one complicated body to build. Props to That dude

 

[shkursht]

I like the body styling they are doing but I wish they used a wider platform than the miata. The front and rear are just too wide compared to the doors in my opinion, but it's still a really cool idea/build.

 

[shawn]

don't like the rear but shiettttt thats a TON of work

Looks dope, I wanna make my own car!

They guy wants a Viper, a Corvette c3, and a BMW Z4. Put them all together and get something.

Well, he's got headlights, so clearly he's going for that Edsel look, but then again he put tail lights on it, so he must be confusing his styling with a Montero Sport. And WHEELS? Really? I mean come on, be original, that looks like he's just taking ideas from Renault. PSH, I could TOTALLY build a better car...IF I WANTED TO.

EDIT I was holding out on posting an intro thread until I got my head back from the machine shop and reinstalled...Couldn't pass up a chance to berate people for having the audacity to criticize a dude who's BUILDING HIS OWN CAR...

^^ building the body isn't that hard - just create a skeleton and start laying fiberglass. I want to eventually build a boat and this is (essentially) the method used.

 

[McSquid]

Oh I know, if you can papier mache, you can lay fiberglass...that's not the point

 

[horribleR]

The point is, he shouldn't have started with a Miata. It's clearly too narrow for what he is doing.

 

[terry pham]

so when they made the stingray, they clearly messed up there... cause that is WAY too narrow as well. right?

 

[nickt93]

I applaude the effort and originality. I don't care a ton for the styling, but good god look at all of that rubber out back!!!

Yeah, that's what I was totally talking about!
