Yea, Im putting my blood, sweat, and tears into this project. And each one of those will probably go into the project literally (I have already cut my self on the metal corners quite a few times).

I am heavily contimplating scratchbuilding and engine. Lots of work, lots of detail.

I will also be machining the wheels at school with a CNC machine. Then resin casting the rims (maybe).

Then if I do decide to scratchbuild the engine, everything except for the tires will have been built by me. And trust me I would make tires except I do not have the proper equipment to do so, otherwise yea. Design on CAD and Machine.

If you watch american Hot Rod, they are building the Alumatub. This project is very similar to Boyd Coddington's Alumatub.
