[@carsociety705]

Just do a center seat car like McLaren f1, this will fix all the issues you are talking about now and it makes more sense for the amount of space you have. this is a sports car you will need more leverage for steering. I hope you see my comment.

Casey Putsch There are a lot of car rebuilding and repairing channels on KZbin and some of them dont even work on their own cars anymore. You are one of the only two channels i know, who not only repair vehicles but create completly new ideas. Thats why im always early on your uploads as you see although they are very late here in Germany. Thanks for all the great content and keep up the good work (btw. I cant tell you often enough what masterpiece your intro is)

[@CaliHime]

@@antonczerwinske5910 Just wondering what the other channel is. In case you want complete car projects there are various channels out there that might be to your liking. There's Mighty Car Mods for your "mates mod cars" type of deal. Wrench Every Day is more technical but still "work with what you got". Or you might like Bad Obsession for complete car builds (Project Binky). If you are interested in more concept builds like the King Zero you might also like the Arete Supercar project by BuilderCreator. B is for Build is another channel that does some crazy project cars, like the off-road Huracan they are building now.

[@aserta]

Yo, just find a fuel tank strap kit for a truck, they USUALLY come flat, unbent, to allow the owner/mechanic to form them (and ease of transport). All you do is bend them, mount the fixtures and add a few leather pieces on the corners of the fuel cell to stop the noise.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

To get rid of the strut towers, why don't you put cantilevered suspension in the front? The inboard shocks could go in a tunnel underneath your knees, and the shifter could mount to the top of the tunnel.

[@chrishulings8064]

Coming from MoPar Land, I was thinking torsion bars but we're both on the same track: the strut towers need to go away entirely.

[@Stereomoo]

The Macpherson strut it already has is probably the best option for allowing this seating position, if you went to double wishbone (necessary for a cantilevered spring, or torsion bar) then the upper control arm has to be mounted in the knee space. Also he'd have to design a whole front suspension, instead of leaning on what Porsche already set up to suit the wheelbase etc.

Casey, try Driveline 1 in Southern Columbus. They do custom cable fab with low resistance, sealed cables. I remember seeing their demo of a cable being tied in a knot and still moving freely. They did a fantastic job fabbing an extended driveshaft for a project car once for me and I try to send business their way whenever I can.

This car deserves to be naturally aspirated. It would be cool to see videos in the future on exhaust building and sound tuning!

In the spirit of ridiculousness and utter disregard for safety, perhaps you could achieve perfect 50/50 balance by locating the fuel cell inside the front bumper. :)

Actually Casey, this King Zero has inspired me to do a project; I want to build a street-able GT-40 MKII.I have a very rough idea of how it’s going to work, and the power plant I would use. Instead of being a Mid-engine placement, I’m going to use a Ford SHO V8 form the ‘99.

The shifter could be hidden in between the 2 seats like old Italian cars. Look at the Bizzarrini Manta (which has 3 seats by the way) the shifter is integrated and hidden on the side of the middle seat.

I really hope you do the "tablet" Frankly, that was one of the coolest parts of the interior for that car. Mind blowing how they had it figured out all those years ago. You could basically throw that interior in a modern car, with a few revamped styling cues, and nobody would be the wiser.

How come u didn’t mount the radiators on the sides? You could’ve put vents on the body that provide air flow to them and they could’ve even helped send air to the turbos since u talked about turboing it

Casey you should consider (if room and the slope of the front permits it) a McLaren style 3-seat setup, so that you can sit a little further forward and have more room for the the pedal box and shifter.

Feet way ahead of the front axle line. Will need a pretty good crash structure around the front end.

[@ianfrench1577]

I've just thought of a potential problem with the 'push the steering wheel forward to lift the canopy' system. Under hard breaking or emergency breaking, you most likely would lean forward pushing the steering wheel up, therefore the canopy would lift up even when driving

If you redesign the... Hood?... to be opened from left or right, general maintenance should be more convenient. It may help with the fuel cell issue. The wrong handed shifter idea mentioned below is also interesting. There is a natural void behind the strut tower.

Please make a 12 into 1 equal length exhaust!!! Just for the sound!!!

[@GFTP100]

Casey, would there be an advantage in ducting the cooling air into the radiator area by directing it inward behind the front tires instead of under the nose? If part of the goal is downforce then allowing sufficient cooling air under the front of the car partially negates the available force. Allowing the air to curve around (or even partially through) the front wheels leaves the front to work more efficiently I’d think. Just a wild-ass idea.

[@tobidias1239]

You should put the shifter to the left of the drivers seat because there isn’t a side door and it will make the car more unique
