Is there a way to build a complete vehicle from parts that cost less than showroom?
>>
Yes.
>>
>>17241468
How?
>>
>>17241469
With tools.
>>
>>17241482
Stupid. 2/100 for effort.
>>
>>17241466
>>17241466
No economies of scale mean you would be paying significantly more for one of each part while Ford pays 1/10th of that since there's buying 100000 of everything you
>>
Really?

If a man can trade a paperclip for a house...

I wonder how OEM tier 1 and 2 suppliers scrap stuff...hmmm
>>
>>17241498
I'm down...

Are Locosts street legal?
>>
Yes, they're called kit cars, and there's a much wider variety of them than just >>17241498.
>>
>>17241579
Jeep frame, a couple axles with suspension bits, seat, fuel tank, and a rebuilt engine/transmission.

Not sure what comes next?
>>
>>17241466

Mustang with a 302. I did it. Even used street/race parts to do it.
>>
Start with a $200 roller and fix it.
>>
>>17241565
Self-built cars legality varies by state. They usually have a special registration for them that identifies them as such, and they require basic safety equipment like belts, a windshield, lights on all 4 corners and some kind of turn signal.
>>
>>17241488
well, it fits since thread is quite stupid as well. Do you really think you can be more cost-effective than company that makes hundreds of cars daily in automated production lane, just because you have some free time to spare?
>>
>>17242642
> you really think you can be more cost-effective than company
Yes if one's time is free and there is no need to pay for garage rent.
>>
>>17244536
this comment and OPs mindset are just so out of touch with how things really are its funny

like really dude,

you are so stupid its funny
>>
>>17244594
He's not wrong. Kit cars exist. It's easy to get them legal in the US at least too.
>>
>>17241469
Pick and pull

Just buy a secondhand car you fuckin autistic faggot
>>
>>17241516
We put parts in scrap hoppers...they are scrap for reason. Parts that are functional but out of tolerance require a deviation, then get shipped...
>>
1.Get job at factory, sneak out one piece at a time in lunchbox.
2. Ride around in style
3. Drive everybody wild.

>yo, why did i even buy that FD in the first place?
Btw, you cant transfer a vin to a new frame right? Assuming the donor is crushed

Not using new parts.

>>17241466
easily most of what suckers pay for msrp is inflation from lack of competition the most expensive thing is the body followed by drive train then suspeesion steering and brakes

A well trained cop can tell.

Youre the retarded one, he's not wrong
>>
>>17248062
They're about as common as a clever nigger so he'll be fine.
>>
Homebuilding a vehicle for on-road use is perfectly legal as-is, at least in glorious 'Murica. Just gotta build the damn thing and get it inspected for safety by State Police or DMV. Exact requirements depend on the state.
>>
>>17245323
Didn't cost me a dime

>Police
>Well-trained

Can't even keep them from assualting and killing innocents just based on their skin color, how do you expect them to know anything about cars?

A lot of Pick n Pulls have $50 Saturdays where it's $50 to haul out whatever you can in 1 trip.
>>
>>17251164
Calling bullshit. Pick n Pulls are few and far between, and $50 is the price of two small items from one. You're seriously trying to convince me that a yard would allow an individual to haul out potentially thousands of dollars worth of parts for $50?
