Hey, thanks for the detailed response. It was actually one of your build threads that inspired me to build the car. I've actually put a lot of thought into this project and I think that I can build a capable and reliable vehicle.

The 3d design program I am probably going to use is absolutely incredible from the propoganda I found on their website. Complete power over design, specs, weight, stress loads, collision of designed parts, and on the fly rendition of changes.

As I design and research the endless possibilties for this car I will track material costs, tools required, and a *very* rough guestimation of time to build. I am planning up to two years in this design so that I will have a solid understanding of what will be required and will refrain from actually buying any parts until I feel that the car will meet my specifications and within budget. Once I commit to building the car I will seek out sponsors for parts.

Additionally I will host a website dedicated to the whole process of design, costs, ideas and implementation etc. I will host some unobtrusive advertisement and a forum to discuss ideas. Hopefully I can create this website to be informative and attractive so that it helps generate interest in my project and perhaps some funding.
