Cribbing ideas is good for inspiration,as is creating your own unique vehicle.
One of the things I find hard is designing things as you go along.If you have an engineering type friend,or just another pair of eyes to maybe say "How about doing it this way" is really helpful.
The vintage special I'm building I reckon half the cost will be for the professional bodywork but I think it has saved me a year,and I couldn't have produced the same result.
Again having another pair of eyes from what I had thought/designed was going to have a flat vertical bulkhead to the engine bay,but where do I fit the battery? After discussion we decided to do it similar to a nippy which left space for the battery and a reserve fuel tank.
