Other Project Websites?
« on: December 15, 2010, 11:08:11 am »
So where else do you guys go to follow crazy people like us who build stuff and post about it online?  I guess I'm interested in reading other project threads documenting things from start to finish with pics, etc.

I followed a Factory 5 forum for a while.  Kit car company that enables you to build a moderately low priced 1965 Shelby Cobra (and other cars as well) using their components and an engine and some parts of your choosing.  Some of these guys just do a basic build using the motor and suspension from a Fox body Mustang, others go full bore and build competition grade vehicles.

Would I like to do?  Absolutely!  Realistic?  Not so much!  :(

And here

Real Life.  Still a poor substitute for video games!

Cool - I will check those out.  I am always on AVS Forum (especially since I'm in the planning stages of a basement remodel) and I like reading Instructables from time to time but a lot of those projects aren't that interesting to me.

Instructables is cool to get ideas for things that are cool, but serve no practical purpose :)

Hackaday isn't quite the same, but it's fun to check out once in a while.  A lot of the projects are crazy and impractical but very cool all the same.
