I've been losing sleep the past few days thinking about what it would be like having an Ariel Atom. I recall when they first came out, they were 30-40k, now it seems a new company is making them and they're 65k - which is just insane for a big go-kart. I saw an article a few months ago about some kid that made his own Ariel Atom out of recycled parts, junked car parts, etc. I've been thinking if this is something even possible for me to do. I know welding basics but I'd want to learn more and become better at tig welding to feel safe in the car. I'm trying to come up with an estimate on how much this would cost me but I think it would be a nice little project. Just wanted to throw that out there and see what you guys think about this idea. the engine would be a red beams 3s...
 toyo love.
