your friend doing the editing is picking up quickly! really doing a great job tell him props from canada eh that car show was wicked! we have nothing like that here that i know of. great job on the progress. is it just you building it or do you have friends helping as well?

thanks! ill let him know. ive started doing a bit myself too, but am pretty amateur. im mostly building it by myself except for when i need professional help. most of my friends aren't into cars/trucks, and with only being able to work on it an hour or two each day after work (we've got neighbors with young kids, so can't make noise too late), working on it by myself is the only real option. my flatmate josh helps out here and there though, when i need extra hands.

haha sounds too much like me. i have no one to really help me. but o well means its 100% done by me and if something happens its my fault and i have no one to blame. in canada its like 0 degrees out so i take advantage of the +5 days out to work on my truck/subaru project.

You see how safety aware you are with your protective eye glasses and noise protectors for your ears...yet....in tape 5 you are video taping yourself and showing off parts...hummmm. Who's driving the car? Are they in your lap? Or is that your knee driving?

Dezionz's girlfriend.

hi Dezionz's girlfriend,

yeah i was driving with my knees haha probably not the safest thing to do...
there is a law here that says you can't drive and talk on a cell phone, but it doesnt specify filming yourself with one hand and holding a diff in the other hand

its still just mocked up, but the gearbox mounts are made and ready to be welded in. the engine mounts will hang off the side of the cantilever brackets, so i've got to finish designing them first. it'll get there, but ive got limited access to CAD so just try to do some when i can
