Looking good! Only thing I notice is proportion wise, if you raise the bottom line of the side windows up, and the rear hip line up slightly, and bring the centre of the front bumper down, as well as slightly reduce the front over hang distance in front of the front wheels, you will get closer to the HyperCar proportions. Overall great work ! 🎉😊
I understand and agree. I had to scale and proportion the body to fit my chassis and glass I have. Once we did that, the design looks like it does now. Thanks for the input.
@@basementsupercarbuild2948 ahh yes makes sense, one idea which I have seen other people do for the side glass is to use the side glass you have but raise the top edge of the door skin and rear fender up in front of the glass. This will give the impression of smaller windows, with the original glass behind 👍🏻👌🏻
Another great video. It's funny how the building of a car leads down many other paths, such as making a CNC machine, learning to weld along with the hundreds of steps in involved. All the best you and your family in the new year. VinceWheels
It’s funny you would say that. I started writing a short article to post on my LinkedIn page, unless I decided not too. It talks about how our professional life and personal life cross sometimes. All the best to you and yours also.
I saw this video on my home page, and it's so dope. I always wanted to make my own supercar, but this video is definitely worth watching. I already subscribed, so don't worry.
First impression reminds me of a GT-R which is fine however in one of your earlier videos you said you wanted it to look more super car, which is why I think you also were drawn to a mid-engine supercar design. With that being said, the GT-R and your current, final design looks very front engined with all the proportions that come with that. It does not look mid-engine at all. At a minimum remove the front of the door cutout element that the GT-R utilizes - basically look at the NSX, F8 Tributo, 720/750s, Lotus Elmira, current Corvette, and even the Porsche Cayman/718, which looks the least mid-engined. Look at the side profile specifically and the key elements of their designs for inspiration. I would even look at current kit car designs like the Rhino RR01, which ironically, having just quickly looked at it, looks to have your mechanical pick up points, or whatever you call it, in reference to fitting your car's mechanical proportion, because yours doesn't seem to be very long, more sized like the Cayman/Boxster or the classic Toyota MR2. Also, I was surprised that you somehow didn't design the car and LS motor placement to take full advantage of being midshiped, utilizing a top, roof mounted, ram air like intake, like one of the AI designs had, like on the original generation NSX Type R - in particular the model/body they used to race in Super GT. Either way, I'm super impressed by your focus and commitment!
Looking good Roger. Will looking forward to seeing how the interior looks all trimmed out.
Thank you. I am still working on the interior design in my head, it will be a while before it becomes reality.
@@basementsupercarbuild2948 I bet everything about it takes longer than observers would think!
Hi Roger, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The design will look awesome 👍

Thank you sir. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family also.

Amazing work
Thank you.
Good luck Roger for the next steps!, I believe on you
Thank you. I will be starting on the body in about 3-4 weeks, I hope.
Nice ! Will you do a scaled-downed model of the design first, before working on the 1:1 scale body panels ? :)
I will 3D print a small model first. Thanks for your help with getting us to this point.

Thank you and thanks for subscribing. Great things are coming up soon.
What software do you make use of?😊
SolidWorks. I have been a SW user for 25 years.
Awesome Build.
What Windshield are you using?
Thank you. The windshield and door glass are Corvette C7, the back glass is Corvette C8.
5:20...that cage weld would worry me more than anything else
i havent rlly watched more than the last 2 videos so this question might seem useles but twhat engine wil it use?
It is an LS 5.3 twin turbo. It should be in the 750-800 hp range.

Thank you sir
