My ongoing Honda project by Mafdark

toyed around with some features in solidworks today that I was previously unfamiliar with. Looks like it will make some aspects of this project more interesting.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the positive responses, it's always some added motivation to get out into the cold garage and get started on the next part of the project. 

When it's too cold for that, I continue to model components:

fixed up a bit:

I'll have some photos of real progress soon.

Damn, I was really trying to put together an update before this got bumped again. I'm going to be going overseas very soon so I'm busy trying to wrap everything up and mothball the project but hopefully soon I'll have some time to sort through my pictures and do a little write up on what I was able to get done.

I also have been dedicating a lot of my time to my 3D scanning project. I've purchased some hardware and software to scan and convert items into full feature tree solidworks models and my goal is to have a significant portion of the car's components scanned in so I can continue designing and building the car while I'm gone.

Sorry for the cliff hanger. I'll make sure to get as much up here as I can as quickly as possible.

I should be able to dive back into this soon. I've been digging through my old pictures and drawings to try to remember where I left off and to get some motivation again. 

These are a bit out of order, I think they were taken before I cut into the trunk, but I thought I should have some new pictures to add.

Bumper that I filled/shaved the Aux & fog light holes plus a new carbon fiber lip.
