Mid-life “crisis”: as emphatically not-a-car-guy, I am possessed of a desire to build a car. This is facially absurd. I don’t possess the necessary skills, don’t have a garage to store a partially-constructed vehicle, and definitely don’t have the time or funds to spend on such a venture.
I’m not building a fiberglass facsimile of an ‘89 MR2. But I kinda want to. Maybe make the lines just a touch sharper - and the cabin a touch bigger to accommodate my height better…
No. Silly. Frivolous. Nope.

There’s also an ad I saw in a magazine in the mid-90’s for a kit car and it was black with all the lines of the car (80’s styling, it had edges) were traced with thin lines. I thought it looked very cool.
Did I mention that I definitely can’t sand or paint? I have absolutely none of the required skills for this.

@c0dec0dec0de It's amazing what you can learn from the internet. Do it :)

@scudderfish oh, I watched a video about making fiberglass car bodies. It looks like an insane amount of work - although I could probably make if less work because my desired shape includes a lot of planes and fewer swooping curves.
