Motivation pictures

Post by polo2k »

You know when you get to that stage of a build and you are starting to loose your mo-jo? Do you have any pics that you look to for inspiration?

There have been so many fantastic minors over the years, has anyone got any build up pics of any of them?
Lets see what keeps you motivated, and what your working on.

Pretty much anything on here http://www.radrides.com/gal.htm

People asked me what the hardest part of my car build was, the chassis, designing the suspension, making the carbon panels?

No it was keeping going. Going into the garage every day and working away at it. The build became a way of life.

It is worth it in the end though.

I spoke with Chip when I was in LA last month and he said he has'nt done any 'Overhaulin' programmes for about two years and he just did not know what the TV companies were doing re shows in the US let alone UK. There are a few 'auto' progs in the States, Speed and Hot Rod TV are a couple and Jay Leno's progs are pretty good and if you're into bikes 'Cafe racer' is a bit whizz bang but basically OK. Actually Chip was very surprised the old Boyd shows were still being aired on UK tv.

When i was building my Locost clubman I made a point of trying to do something on the car everyday even of if it was something rather inconsequential, building a car is rather like eating an elephant, you do it one bite at a time :D
The fun has begun!
