Barbie Countach

Goal:

As I don't have the space, time, or budget to build a full tube frame race car, I want to build a go-kart sized one so I can still learn many of the same skills, and how to set up suspension geometry and alignment for handling and performance on multiple surfaces, from drifting to off-roading and jumping.

And of course, make it pink. (the scan I'm using is blue, final car will be pink)

Takeaways:

Even though I am only in the initial design phase, even from all the research and background information I have learned so much and am excited to expand that knowledge even more as the project progresses.

Time: July 2024 - present (on and off)

Skills:

Fabrication: TIG Welding, CNC Mill, Waterjet, Lathe, 3D Printing, Soldering, Vinyl Cutter

Software: Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Inkscape
