A89 Keeping it attached and directing the air. Under the bonnet substructure. Arete Supercar Project

The bonnet substructure gets added to reinforce the hing attachment points and create air management features. It swings and latches like a real car!

[@christopheouvrard8548]

Really nice !!! As a Lotus Elise S2 owner, I marvel at seeing you creating your own race car ! Respect !

[@BuilderCreator]

I got to sit in an Elise the other day. Surprisingly roomy for such a small car!

[@MrFastXX]

Duuuuude, can't wait for this thing to come alive. I've been following from day 1. Let's go!!

[@BuilderCreator]

Thanks for being a regular. We'll get to the "come alive" day soon.

[@jonathanohagan1349]

Ah nice, another good smooth builder creator video.

[@greatestone4eva]

always love your updates.

[@lancemillward1912]

Glad to see you back

[@nickknight8065]

Fabulous techniques here. Please consider Eastwood's roll-on epoxy and urethane primers when you are at the stage for paint prep. They are fantastic to work with!

[@BuilderCreator]

Eastwood is my go-to, so you will likely get your wish.

[@keithyoung7]

Looking good - really excellent production - as always.

[@moisescobretti]

Wow fantastic! Amazing! Congratulations

[@Builtbypete]

Great work - a real pleasure to watch. As someone from the UK, nice to hear you use "Bonnet" 😉

[@BuilderCreator]

If the engine was under there, I might be tempted to call it the hood, but it's not! So, bonnet it is! Now If I could just get the steering wheel on the right side! ;)

[@lvn968]

Icecream seems to be the answer to everything !

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, maybe not everything, but Ice cream socials are always better than war and conflict!

[@MechatronCNC-HVM]

It's good to see the build progressing 🙂 Keep up the good work 👍

[@BuilderCreator]

Thanks. How is the Piston Pens project going?

[@MechatronCNC-HVM]

​@@BuilderCreator Hey, pistonpens was a successful kickstarter project. I am no longer making them since it was always the plan to make it a limited run. There may be a second piston product in the future down the line. I have designed & made automotive products in the UK, from bmw billet gear knobs to lamborghini parts. I have currently taken a break from that buisness and hope to return later next year once other life goals have been accomplished. Thanks for the interest 😎👍 I am building my own one off supercar with a mercedes m120 6.0 V12 (pagani zonda engine) . Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

[@BuilderCreator]

@@MechatronCNC-HVM If you record any of your build on social media make sure you let us know the links. Always interested in what is going on out there!

[@54mgtf22]

Hi Jay. Love your work 👍

[@iforce2d]

Somewhere just off camera there is a family member furiously eating ice-cream to keep up

[@BuilderCreator]

Actually, 8 people eating ice-cream to keep up. ;)

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Can't wait to see some paint on it!

[@BuilderCreator]

Going for blue. I hear all the best home built supercars are blue?

[@samppasamFIN]

awesome like always

[@rjung_ch]

Hi Jay, glad to have seen you on Jeremy's channel. Now an update, thank you! 👍💪✌

[@BuilderCreator]

I was in his neck of the woods, so how could I pas up the opportunity. Thanks for being a regular.

[@bradmaas6875]

It's getting there. Looking good

[@justinfacer621]

Awesome as always, cant wait to see you get to drive this thing man

[@BuilderCreator]

That will be the drive, till then we just have the journey.

[@AdamRhazi]

This man needs sponsors!!!

[@BuilderCreator]

Please add "good sponsors" to that request. I get lots of requests for sponsorship, but video games and VPNs are not what this crowd is looking for.

[@AdamRhazi]

@@BuilderCreator Honestly, we get that they would help you in financing such project so i don't thing your audience will mind it as much as you think. You could make a poll or something similar if that's the only thing stopping you from accepting such sponsors. (Just discovered you recently and bingewatch your whole channel. Big ups my man!)

[@amgguy4319]

Luv this build and your comprehensive explanations. Make me wanna get started...

[@BuilderCreator]

Make me wanna get started. . . Today is the day!

[@user-lt8ck5mq2i]

It looks professional

[@ronkluwe4875]

Glad to see the videos resuming on the car, looking good!! Any thought to approaching Blue Bunny for a sponsorship deal?? 😆

[@BuilderCreator]

When we hit 100k subs I'll let them know how many rabid ice-cream fans watch the channel. Ha!

[@Indaigo1]

Great stuff!

[@andyfry8205]

Awesome.

Uhmmm! that was yesterday! ;)

Make a parrellagram hinge to lift and move the hood/bonnet forward and up to clear the wheels 👍

Hey 👋, how are you doing? long time.. you know I was watching the video and all of a sudden I realised how smooth your parts are, like I was thinking for future while painting you might not need much sanding just for mild leveling and adhesion....

[@BuilderCreator]

Smooth yes, but when your after that perfect paint job there is always LOTS of sanding. Are you still in Europe?

[@divyanshsrivastava7312]

@@BuilderCreator yaa that's true, but would you need to fill stuff with fibreglass filler or just a skim coat of some body filler would be sufficient?, and are you still planning to paint it Blue or some thing new caught your eye 😄? Oooh yaa still in Germany, completed 1st year of my Master's, right now, I'm about to start with my Internship in Boeing the aerospace company ✈✈ and a student assistance job both working under Autonomous Drones technology. So stuff is going well. 😊 How's life in the USA?

Finally🎉😂

[@gges1605]

Hey Jay, haven't you got that steering wheel on the wrong side lol

[@BuilderCreator]

It is certainly on the left side and not the RIGHT side!

[@gges1605]

@@BuilderCreator lol hope all is well Jay guess you can claim to drive on the RIGHT side after all

[@tryin2figureitout]

I feel like I’ve been waiting 6 months for a car video and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in it only being 8 minutes. But I do understand you have other stuff going on in your life. It would drive me nuts to have such an amazing project so close to being drivable. I don’t know how you reframe from working on it. I know it’s been a life long goal of yours and I think you have done an amazing job. I’m so excited to see the finished product. I know with my projects I get my enjoyment from seeing if I can do it, if I can build it. Then when it’s done I lose interest and start looking towards the next project. Do you think you may have reached a point where you are like “I did it, it doesn’t excite me anymore. I would rather work on lyviathon.” (Butchered spelling I know) Just curious please don’t take anything I say as criticism. Your channel is my favorite channel and I appreciate what you do. You truly have encouraged me to take on bigger projects and to learn new skills.

[@BuilderCreator]

My life has been a long string of multiple simultaneous projects and I knew the KZbin channel would be the same. Some have criticized that I started the Leviathan project before I finished Arete, but they are looking at it from a "pure KZbin" perspective. No right minded engineering, fab shop or designer would base his business on one project at a time. If they believe they could, they have never had to deal with cash flow in a business. Cash "spurts" only pay bills on occasion. In the hey day of my architectural business, I would be designing 7 to 10 houses at a time. My starting back up in the mechanical/design business is no different; the vehicles are bigger jobs than designing a home, but multiple projects will not leave me with dry spells in the end. This is a long game, with multiple payouts in the future. Luckily people like you are smart enough to understand that If you don't like Off-road(ish) stuff then just watch the supercar videos, or vice-versa. this is a design business with a presence on KZbin, not a KZbin business, that does design. I am smart enough to know that If I wanted to make a lot of money with KZbin ad revenue, I would hire an attractive young girl and do quick turn around car mods and supercar spotting/reviews. Ha! Anyway, thanks for letting me vent... Long comments get long answers. ;) P.S. Stay tuned, as I am soon going to reveal one of the main goals of the channel.

[@tryin2figureitout]

You have no idea how much I appreciate your response. I guess I am guilty of looking at your channel as strictly a “KZbin channel” what you said makes perfect sense. I am wanting to do a complete custom mid engine, tubular chassis, composite body build AND I WILL BUILD IT. Truly your channel is what gave me the inspiration and confidence to actually be planning such a thing. Thank you what you do is more than entertain and at least for me it is appreciated.

[@BuilderCreator]

@@tryin2figureitout Great, just don't over think cars or life . . you may have to change your handle to @figureditout. ;)

Wait you said this is going to be a 200 mph + supercar, we are going to hold you to it, I would shit my pants going 200 mph in that. Not because it is a poorly built car, but you never know what you overlooked until the Speedo says 200 and you're airborne

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, before it goes 200mph we will first take it 20mph . . 40 . . 60 . . 100 . . 120 . . 160 . . . . .
