Title: Other Project Websites?
Post by: javeryh 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!  :(

I spend a lot of time over here

The PopUp Portal (http://www.popupportal.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=t64lnm6cie9evb3konp9iuopl6&action=forum) for mods and repairs on my camper.

And here

The Halloween forum (http://www.halloweenforum.com/)

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 (http://hackaday.com) 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.
