I’ve been watching Rob Dahm for a long time and he’s been documenting an old indycar he got his hands on with the awesome cosworth turbo v8. Its super fascinating. I’ve been trying to find others and the stuff I am finding isn’t quite the same.

Looking for more “doing it on a budget” vs like Ferrari’s cliente program.

    Wesley Kagan is building a sort of v12 vintage f1 car. His posts are sporadic, and not always thematically-related, but he’s one of my favourites nonetheless. Like he made a working copy of the Konigsegg (sp?) free valve system. On his own. For fun.

        You may have found my specialist subject… I’m assuming you’ve seen Project Binky from Bad Obsession Motorsports, and through that possibly Fanatik Builds, but there are also a couple of scandiwegian YouTubers doing excellent work. First and foremost Peter Bjorck is quite phenomenal, his lambo-powered Volvo is on of my favourite builds, and his skill and humble manner is great to watch. Then there’s the Meteor Intercepter, that’s an interesting project.

        Back in the uk, Soup Classic Motoring is doing a nut and bolt resto of a classic lotus, Mike FPE has built a DTM-inspired Fiesta that’s pretty mental, and the lad from Council House Creations is only building little stuff, but what he manages to build with basic tools is still very well engineered and pretty interesting.

        The StanceWorks F40 build is jaw-dropping, and The Sendy Club is Robin Shute building what will probably be the next dominant car on Pikes Peak. That’s proper race-winning engineering, with the occasional bit of work from Superfast Matt thrown in.
