No disrespect intended because it’s a gorgeous build but it looks like he had the help of a pretty amazing welder and a metal fab shop. That’s the only reason I voted for him to go street build.

@jack.luis if you did way more of the metal work than I’m giving you credit for, PLEASE correct me so I can vote accordingly homie.

Don’t forget you’re still one of my faves :heart:

My money’s on OutRun.

Seriously, fiber optics inside the deck? That’s next level.

The whole thing was designed in CAD by myself as a giant origami kinda thing. It was all shipped to me pre cut and flat. I had to bring it to a fab to bend everything.

The design process included a lot of back and forth with my welder friend Frank. Mostly questions like “what would make this easier to weld?”

I think flyboy did more of a diy deck than me

Yeah, I used a laser cutter for the initial plywood shapes and did the rest by hand. SS is probably just a harder material to work, though

I considered having people tell me their category selections in private, and/or instituting a “no take-backsies” rule, but then I realized I want to see how it plays out.

I think it should be fair game until voting starts. Once voting has started, no take backsies

Yep, definitely.

Oh, this reminds me:

If you were nominated and have not specified which category you will be competing in, YOU HAVE TO DO THAT BEFORE VOTING OPENS ON THE 17th

Could someone go through this thread and tag all the people who were nominated? I’m a busy duck tonight, or I would do it myself :kissing_heart:

Hopefully i didn’t miss anyone.

Everyone tagged here please make sure you specify in which category you plan on competing. For those that have already done it: :heart:

Edit: I’ve made this a wiki so you can type the category next to your name.
