Right he reminds me of the old man thay builds his own replica mini cars like this one and they actually look very well done I know this ones mostly like a tricked out go kart engine powered one but it's still fucking legit and more than unique... Can't wait to see his next build like this he obviously has the body work and metal shaping down but I'd like to see one be built and fully legal to cruise down the road in.... I know interesting cars is what got me started as a kid.... my first love of a car was a 59 4 door bel air that was my dad's first car my grandpa bought him thay was almost knew cuz it eS a rich old lady's Sunday driver.... odometer was at 68 k all original miles when it got parked finally.... one of these days I'll have to cash to atleast get it running and driving again.... my dad parked it cuz the rear end went out and it's sat in blocks since I was like 3 or 4 and I'm 26 now but I always said growing up it was gonna be my car and still to this day it's my absolute favorite of the aeroplane styling they went for in cars at that time with the bird in flight fins on thay ass end and just the front bumper styling and the front an rear lights..... it's just amazing

It showcases a lot of the many talents that he has. Maybe I'm a little bias because I'm Canadian as well, I have never met a person that is so talented at such a young age.

Love your CAD work, cardboard assisted drawings. That cardboard template was great. Just bend the rear cable braket a little bit more on the back area so the cable exits straight. Over time it will cut through the ferral you don't want it to bind and fray the cable. That is looking so cool. Besides your brakes and gas pedal, you have work on the dash remote start switch. You will enjoy this ride more than you realize. It's a great looking machine.
