Encore! Encore!
Wait a second... You have pretty much full access to a CNC shop. This sparks a idea. You need another housing, rotor, and intermediate iron. Anyone have detailed specs of a 20b e-shaft?
But really. I want to see this project continue more. It's looking so good already.

Sorry, but it could be a while before I am able to finish the car. I've been out of a job since June with no unemployment benefits. I've been working on finishing up the interior, I will try and get some pics of that up soon.

Where did you learn how to fabricate, weld, etc?
I really want to learn how to do this as well as you. I'm damn good at building/designing things already, and have AutoCAD experience to boot.
I would love to build cars for a living or even be able to make all my own parts myself! Any insight?

Nate, my fabrication skills don't match up to yours, but I felt bold enough to start a build thread in the fabrication section. I must say, you are a hard act to follow. I'll take sloppy seconds... this time.

This is clearly the only 18 page thread that I have read from end to end!
Many of you salivated throughout the stages of this build as though it were your own. Captivating and Inspiring within one breath. I could clearly read that many of you were perched at the very edges of your seats. Waiting for the next bit of news from a novice giving us all a lesson in the possibilities. I myself couldn't help but to be inspired. Inspired by the patience and determination by someone from a generation I once thought to be lost. The beauty in man is always one of surprise. I have to admit, surprised I am.
Reading on as logic and reason came into question. I couldn't help but to smile as many of our fellow members encouraged this young dreamer throughout his vision. Which was also a lesson in unity. Something not seen much these days. Not to mention those fellow Xers who came forth with helpful suggestions in the hopes of sincere help. Steadfast in his convictions, this young dreamer pushed on. Pushed on in a way that bought many men together on one idea, one thought, and one vision. this is truly inspiration at it's best.
I don't want to go too far into my thoughts but in ending I will say this. Not only this young dreamer, but many of you have inspired me throughout this thread. This was clearly a killer build. I think a tear rolled down my face when I heard it start up. Lol.... then on the other-hand, many of you continue to surprise me. And in that surprise I find hope. To have witnessed this I am proud. I am also thankful of the multitude of help that has pour in since i bought my first RX two weeks ago. If you ask me, all of you rock. the name of this thread should have been titled "A Plethora of Beauty".
Later guys carry-on!

Well I was finally able to land a position at a local job shop as a manufacturing engineer doing part/setup/fixture design, CNC programming, solid modeling, and anything else they can think of. Doesn't pay much right now, but I have access to quite a few horizontal/vertical mill/lathe machining centers. I haven't been motivated to go out in the 20 degree weather to finish up the 7 yet, but I did recently purchase some protection for it.
New RX-7 security system:
Maybe I'll make a gun rack to mount to the rollbar?
