Welcome Amit. Glad you made it through our firewalls.

Welcome Amit, looking forward to seeing your work.

Amit, I'd suggest you read through this thread:

http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showt...highlight=Buck

There are a ton of life lessons as well as how NOT to scratch build a car. Still and all, you should find some nuggets of wisdom in there.

Also look at John Alba's 550 Spyder build:

Tom Poulter is also building a Cobra. He has been building an exceptional buck and will soon start on the body.

Hi Amit.

Welcome to the site.

So how bigs your living room? I thought I had a space problem, like your choice of possible builds but both are just under 4mtr x 2mtr. I'm working in approx 27sq mtr open space 6 x 4.5, just thought it worth mentioning.

Look forward to you getting started, and as the questions appear on the screen answers come from every where. I had a problem I'd been working on for a couple of months, 3 days after posting on here we had the answer and I think lots of us will benifit by working together.

Good luck with your new project.
