I have to be honest with myself. What I want is to build a kit car. Glorified to whatever extent, it is essentially a from the ground up, a kit car. That’s at all to be ashamed of to me. Just a common name for the same process. At best it’s a kit vehicle but now that I’ve recognized, the focus has started to laser in on what this is. Gadgets and robotics and all that aside, I’m building a very unique kit car that will involve construction techniques I’ve never tried before. Every aspect of it will indeed still be documented. All the wizardry I can imagine stuffing into this thing is just icing. The product is kit car building techniques, materials, technologies, observations, resources, research and applications. Science and engineering.
I used to read those kit car magazines when I was younger. I even owned two or three Fieros. I cut one in half and gave it that 11.5 inch Lambo stretch. And I would’ve finished it too, if it weren’t for those meddling bills. They aren’t cheap. After growing up watching 80s tech TV shows like Knight Rider and Airwolf and the like, building my own scifi car or helicopter 🚁 or whatever has been a childhood dream. I’ve always only made it as far as small scale mockups, models. I built whatever I imagined using anything I could get my hands on. When it came to the big projects, I have only one claim to fame… KITT. She’s her own story though.
The project is all about the ARX build and helping as well as being helped along the way. I don’t know exactly what I am doing, but I know it’s not gonna do itself.
