A86 Cut hack and laminate- The new door plan! Arete Supercar project

[@taylorcroft6757]

I can’t tell you how bored I was watching this with my absolutely enthralled 4 year old. I want to encourage his hobbies and interests but I’m not at all a car enthusiast! Thanks for entertaining my little boy!

[@joshuabradshaw5270]

I've been following this project and I have to say thank you for this. You're not just teaching people how to build a car, you're teaching people how to think and problem solve. That's a real treasure so, thank you!

[@BuilderCreator]

You have to teach people to solve problems when you are teaching them how to create them just as fast. Ha! Thanks for following the project(s) and being part of the problem. ;)

[@salamal-habbas6580]

And He’s also teaching me how I accept that, I’m f**kin dumb 💔

[@MichelleSleeper]

Great to see new Arete progress!

[@BuilderCreator]

Small, but progress! Thanks for watching.

[@Teh_Yeet]

Can't believe I am still here following this project after so many years. Would be nice to get a summary of the entire project sometime, what has been done, how the car currently looks, that sorta thing! Cheers!

[@BuilderCreator]

For sure, it is about time for a complete overview. I'm planing on doing a major disassembly to finish weld and powder coat the sub-frames; that will be a good time!

[@user-pd9vm9ts1o]

@@BuilderCreator Great man ! thanks

[@daverobert7927]

It is over a year since I have been here on your channel. Nice and steady. next please.

[@MrCytree]

So darn cool. I really love this channel. Every video is a treat. The finished car should be awesome and also provide a heck of a documentary if you ever decide to curate the bazillion hours of footage you will have. Thank you once again for the great content.

[@BuilderCreator]

Glad you enjoy it! You know there will be a big , all inclusive video at the end . . . . for the lazys who weren't willing to follow along during the hard times. Ha!

[@benpease4497]

Great to see more progress on Arete! Those Irwin Japanese saws are great!

[@BuilderCreator]

Yep, even though the blades are super flexible they seam to cut straight every time . . . or curved if you want to warp the blade!

This really is the best channel on youtube. There is no better thing to watch.

[@bryanford1139]

You! Are an Artiste my good man. I absolutely love this project and watching it unfold. Keep up the Fantastical work feller!!

[@mezianka]

felicitation pour ce super projet qui est celui de construire une supercar seul !!! , c'est fantastique de voir a quel point vous maitrisez tous les aspects de la construction , du dessin en CAO en passant par une maquette a l'echelle reduite puis la realisation des differentes sections a l'echelle 1 , realisation du model , des contres moules , des pieces en fibre , la realisation du chassis tubulaire de l'electronique , cablage etc ....... bravo !!!!! j'aurais aimé etre avec vous pour y participer avec joie

Thank you for another educational video, sir! Always instawatch when the notification pops up.

[@BuilderCreator]

Always instant thanks for the dedicated viewers that sub and use notification - You rock!

[@araykhel]

Thank you for creating content despite all that is going on. I could never pull off a project like Arete, but learning through you has been amazing.

[@indy-arctic]

Ive been watching this grom the start and rewatching it allot already have designed my OWN car to 😂

[@supdus]

would love for you to make an episode showing other projects you have completed in the past - you can see your extensive skill set so can only imagine some of the other projects you have made

[@BuilderCreator]

I have not been very good in the past at photos and recording my old projects, but I put a video together showing some stuff from bygone days here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2HEqpWjbdB7Z9U I hope you enjoy, thanks for following the projects.

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

I’ve watched build for a couple years now and subscribed shortly after. Now I’m pulled into the leviathan project too, lol. Anyhow, love this car and can’t wait to see it completed!! That 1jz is gonna be a monster, perfect choice for that car and kudos for not doing what EVERYBODY else does by dropping an 8+ cylinder in it!!

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, thanks for following the project(s). I should be getting back to posting some new content so stand by. Inline 6 rules!!

so glad to see arete again!

[@henrysutulovich6608]

[@anomamos9095]

Tool tip. You can buy cable or rope cutting blades , usually in survival, camping stores. They’re good for cutting and shaping foam . You can make a simple attachment to a multi tool to automate them or a length of bandsaw blade . You get a dull multi tool blade cut it down and put a hole to attach the saw blade to . Then make an extended handle similar to the bow of a hacksaw to attach the other end of the blade via a spring .

[@BuilderCreator]

Yeah, great idea. I have used pre-shaped wires for cutting shapes with a hot wire cutter in polystyrene, but it might work to create a stiff "shaped" blade for the oscillating saw to cut urethane foams!

[@tim64872]

Amazing workmanship as usual.

I appreciate that. Thanks for the views.

[@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty_1]

Also doing doors on my scratch build. I can feel the frustration of re-doing stuff. But your build looks fabulous.

[@BuilderCreator]

The frustration is always in your head when you sit back and think about it. After the work is started/done, it is always "rewarding" to see it improved!

when is the scheduled completion date of the super car? otherwise I look forward to every new video, I would like new videos to come out twice a month... Happy New Year! All the best.🎉

[@tazanteflight8670]

@11:40 The subtle flashing in your video is caused by LED lights. There is a LED lightbulb somewhere in that room. When filming indoors, only use incandescent lightbulbs.

[@BuilderCreator]

I'm checking into this, as I've started to see it more often in videos. I think it occurs when someone in the house uses hot water while I'm shooting video. The instant hot water heater draws so mush current that the lights cycle drops enough to get close to the 29.97 frames per second of the camera. Every light in this house is LED. Someone else will have to foot the bill for changing them all over to incandescent and pay the power bill after that. Ha!

[@tazanteflight8670]

@@BuilderCreator You can still get 100 watt incandescent bulbs at homedepot, and lowes. Also, you can open that window, and let that sun in. Position a mirror outside, and shoot some light in, when filming. You have a cool channel!

[@keithyoung7]

As always - super interesting, I was wondering haw many viewers you have encouraged to launch their own projects. And I have been wondering what started you on the road to developing a super car. Also, have any car manufacturers shown any interest in the project?

[@BuilderCreator]

I hear from a lot of people who say I have inspired them to start a project, but how many of them actually follow through, we shall see. I wonder also, if I discourage a few along the way when they roll through the video evidence of the scale of the undertaking. Ha! Here is a video that tells a little of the story of my entry into the "car world." - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYWveIGMn9WsbJI. No interest from a manufacturer, but I do regularly hear from individuals wanting a one off custom car (Vanity car.) So far, the price has scared them off. Thanks for watching.

[@keithyoung7]

@@BuilderCreator Thanks for taking the time to reply - I rally appreciate it, and so do the rest of your followers.

[@ioiwut4874]

i made a joke (very original joke) about a year ago, suggesting you hit up blue bunny for a sponsorship lol i still think as ridiculous as it sound that would be pretty badass. and speaking of bunnies

[@BuilderCreator]

That was always a main goal, sensual curves, without the gaudy wings, fins and menacing grills of modern supercars. Still looking into Blue Bunny sponsorship, even if it is in ice cream or buckets. Ha!

[@scottc78]

I think Koenigsegg style doors are a wonderful idea. Why should just that one brand get to have all the fun? Have some happy holidays!

Thanks for being a regular on here. Good to see familiar faces/names.

[@ycy-technologies]

dude I love your videos and meticulous approach. But are you ever gonna finish this car?!?

[@timothypatrick9476]

Glad to know that your health is better. I am enjoying your projects progress, and your problem solving techniques. If I am correct, you mentioned earlier you may have an issue with the wheel well and the tub foot pedals. Not very much room if i remember correctly. Do you have a solution, and do you think you might a design solution to avoid this kind of pinch point in the future? Like mabe moving the front wheel suspension forward a few more inches?

[@BuilderCreator]

I did cut some out of the foot well in a previous episode, so it is usable but tight. The easy solution would have bean to build with a rear trans-axle and no center tunnel . . easy, but would have cost $10,000 more. Ouch!

[@bjornpersson592]

I'm really enjoy to follow your project. I have 2 Lotus Europa, a 1968 and a 1971. They are very different than your car. How much do you believe will be the final weight of the car? One of my Lotus weight is only 560 kg.

[@BuilderCreator]

The original goal was to keep it under 900Kg, but it will likely drift closer to 1100kg. Although the car is small it is still much bigger than the Europa and has a MUCH heavier power plant which requires a heavier cooling system, bigger breaks . . . . .etc. Fun little cars the Europa! Had a friend who did a Mazda rotary swap into one. Gave it a good power upgrade, but still kept the weight balance for that famous Lotus handling. Glad your enjoying the videos. Thanks for following the build(s).

[@PaulyRenzeth]

I see some kind of rolling shutter ish in some parts of the vid, I think the best thing to do was to lock the auto white balance in recording, and auto ISO and lock all the settings you are satisfied with to avoid it and more lights would be helpful.

[@BuilderCreator]

Yep, thanks for the heads up always looking to improve. Some power flicker in the LED lighting, but sometimes re-shooting video is almost impossible.

[@immelting9834]

I wonder if you reach out to " Factory 5 " maybe they would be interested in sponsoring this build; or even working with you on a collaboration to get this project finished. Just a thought.

[@markpasquarella3223]

Been watching your videos on reinforcement testing and epoxy layup but haven’t seen anything on what epoxy you are using and why. I’ve made some wind surfers , tried west system wasn’t happy with it switched to resin research . What are you using to remove amines after sanding?

Once this attachment / fixture is established, will this be molded for future replication / replacement as a bondable assembly?

[@BuilderCreator]

If I were to replicate the whole thing I would scan the completed/perfected car and then CNC cut the molds.

[@mikeleonard8031]

Love your work mate. Did you manage to finish your 5axis CNC machine. There is a lot of work going into a fibreglass monocoque shell. Maybe it would have been more practical and quicker to build it from 5083 grade aluminium.

[@BuilderCreator]

Aluminum- Quicker for sure . . . but who wants to be practical? :)

[@slice1208]

Are you going to make this a kit ?

[@novadestroyer2377]

I just have a question approximately how much do u think this car will weigh with all foam and what not wouldn't that make it heavier

[@BuilderCreator]

All the foam in the car will weigh less than 10 lbs. I was shooting for 2000lbs, but it will likely creep over that.

[@peters5333]

Jay. Some constructive criticism. I was one of the followers who guessed a door hinge assy in prior episodes. My concern is using the actual car as the quasi mock up/real world door build. Just Don't! As someone who has worked on car doors in a professional environment...yeah I know that sounds odd but design for a vehicle that has to repeat itself over ...whether a one off or 1Mx over, its a brutal task. You are heading to a world of frustration otherwise. Re-create what you have on the car in a separate scale mock up. Otherwise once this car is built your door sealing and closing will be compromised. You need to see how the whole system reacts. Builders think door fab and function is easy. Ask a professional automotive engineer or a resident engineer in an assembly plant. They will tell you the opposite.

[@BuilderCreator]

I understand your concerns! Know however, that this project was never started as an easy build. I could have taken a hundred easier paths and gone with ideas that would have "fallen" into place. This project is in its very nature, "a world of frustration!" I like it that way; I learn and grow. Know also, that this is one of the few parts that I am 3D modeling and reverse engineering as close to Keonigseggs as possible. Christian Keonigsegg said in an interview that they have thousands of hours into the door design; I am not opposed to using there time as my R n D. We shall see, future videos will have early success, or me cutting things up and sticking more epoxy and fiberglass were it should have been in the first place. Ha! Thanks for the input and following the project.

[@lunarthespacecat7772]

so is this entire thing like a clay concept and then the real production will begin or are you just a hobbyist making your own car and then taking it to showsss????

[@BuilderCreator]

This will be a one-off project, but it would be the same process if it were slated for production, as this "prototype" process would answer a lot of questions and refine the design.

[@Tfr2135]

With that square shape behind the wheel, you will probably die when you hit something on the corner of the car. The tyer and the the thing you hit wil definitely come inside the cockpit and say knock knock ...

What is ur slurry u painting on foam

[@Iowa599]

Are you immune to fiberglass splinters?

[@BuilderCreator]

Never seams to bother me until I have to sand; then it is best to keep a vacuum on hand to pull away the dust. UuuGH!!

[@mcfling1]

What do you use for your slurry?

[@BuilderCreator]

Epoxy with micro-spheres/q cells added to achieve the consistency you are after right on up to a stiff past if required.
