I really appreciate the positive feedback I can't wait to finish it. Everyone said I was crazy until they saw it come together lol. I believe if you really put your mind to it anything can be accomplished

I used to be an architecture student so I know how to scale up objects, I've also studied graphic design, basically I'm working with a small scale model that I have broken into pieces and projected onto my wall using a projector, I measured the wheels (20") and kept the projector in place and that way all pieces stayed at a 1:1 scale size, I know its not 100% accurate but its the closest I can do. I traced the parts on cardboard cut them and hot glued them together. This is kind of a long process but it will give time to save money and figure out the rest of the project

How did you scale that up? Is that all by eye?

Wow, you got a lot of work ahead of you. You are coming along nicely. But the body is only a fraction of the process.  If you cannot afford to buy the body kit what are your plans for the chassis? Suspension? Lights? Glass?

So the aventador is my dream car and after doing a lot of research I realized I didn't have the money to even buy a body kit. So I decided I wanted to build it myself, from scratch. Here is what I have so far. I would appreciate any input as is the first time I attempt something like this, I'm sure a lot of you guys have lots of experience
