Hi to all,
My name is Fernando Cabello, I'm originally Spanish but live half in London, UK and half in Seville, southern Spain. I'm a programmer(software) at the present but have been in the games industry for quite a while doing 3D characters and programming as well. Been chasing all my life the possibility to build my own car and looks like now is the right time.
Was recently looking for a Tornado kit car GT40 of course, but suddenly came across this forum and thought to go the hard way and try to build from scratch with the support of these amazing people if so.
I mainly love to learn and have absolutely no fear of failure, indeed it will never be a failure as I'm pretty sure I will learn a lot on the way.
For starting I don't know well where to post so I'm going to request here some advice:
Where can I find some blueprints? Paid or unpaid if so, not quite sure MKII or MKI yet.
I got a good friend welder, I will learn on the way hopefully, but going to rely on his knowledge.
Welding the chassis requires special skills? or normal welders can do.
It is worth it, to build your own chassis? I'm assuming yes.
Any form of helpful advice and comment is more than welcome.
Wish the best for all.
FC.
