Preserve the Classics OR It's Just Particle Board

I was impressed how Burt Rutan set out to design a racing plane because people were using (and destroying) loads of World War II  P-51 Mustangs for these races.

Jakobuds plans are a step in the right direction, but something like the Ms Pacman Cocktail Plans By Kyle Lindstrom are amazing. And again the kits you can buy from MikesArcade are a pretty good starting point too.

:edit: The url from the BYOAC wiki page doesn't work. It's on theBYOAC arcade plans page though. Thought there was a newer PDF version of it though.

I went to a county fair race/demo derby once and out of the 20 or so cars at least half of them were Plymouth Reliants.  One of the guys with me used to own one and was pissed.  After 6-7 beers we almost had to restrain him from going down there.

there you go.  that would solve all problems so byoac purists or whatever wouldnt barf every time a noob shows a frogger cab frankenpanel.

They still would.  They would just tell them "here are the dimensions build your own, n00bhead".
