    This needs to be bumped, the build up is 30 something pages strong now. The guy is doing some amazing engineering on it. Well worth the look.

    I think it must be the winter, can't go outside so they sit in garages building crazy cars.

    I can't believe that the guy is only 21, he has so much patience and attention to detail and his welding skills are pretty incredible.

    I flicked through all 33 pages mostly looking out for his posts and pics, did anyone catch what he does for a living? I know he says its his first time fibreglassing and a few other things but his welds are way too good for a beginner.

    I have a feeling he is an engineer of some sort, he is making up some awesome custom parts.

    apparently he has a whole raft of family who are extremely skilled. eg, an uncle fabricated his roll cage, so i guess he'd do the majority of welding (like those awesome wishbones!!) although all that custom fibreglass fabrication...

    You know that feeling you get when you spend ages fabricating something - its close to how you want it. Then you weld it and the welds turn out crap and it distorts and things don't line up anymore and all the hard work just doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to. You grind it a bit and "persuade" it to fit. And then you look at this guys work...
