Cheaper than I thought! Nice work. I thought it would be closer to 80.
First man
I am sure I will get there before I am done!😢
@@ElectricSuperCar Great work man 🔥
....anyhow......better than a statue with misteries inside 😅😇✌️👍
Yeah, still needs paint, interior, and finishings... It'll creep up on ya...
Literally one of the coolest dad i could imagine think about it
Thanks Friend!
that is truth so much joy!!!!
Forget the cost - the memories and values you brought to your kids are priceless.
So kind!🤗
sure when you can afford
Thanks for your support! There were over 250 entries! Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for being so thorough and transparent. It looks like a ripper!
It would be cool to see all of the stats once it’s done (0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, stopping distance, etc.)
All part of the plan! Stay tunned!
re: the 0 to 60 number: I wonder about the traction of the rear wheels.
I started out in cars but the needs of family took president. Many years ago when I was a younger man of your age I set out to design and build my own home. Yes I spent twice as much as I thought it would be and it took me twice as long as I thought it would It did get done and we still live here to this day. Take the road less traveled if you can. I've never regretted it one bit. I think I still have a car in me to do... Thanks for the inspiration. Great work. Enjoy
Thanks Dan!
Y’Know, experiencing the joy and euphoria from building something yourself, and having lots of fun with loved ones, including all the skills I’d say this was well worth it. Im glad you were able to document all of this, not just for yourself, but for those of us who can’t build something like this. This channel is truly amazing!!!
Thanks Random Viewer!
Something else to consider is that these videos of the build will continue to accrue interest from viewers over time (I'd predict growing a larger and larger audience as they are found by more) which, in turn, will bring that cost/gain ratio into better proportions over time (hopefully not to much more in expenses in that time).
I've enjoyed all of this work you have done, it was masterful.
Thanks Friend!
no average person has all those skills/ time/ money/tools/ space/intelligence/patience/supporting family. You are one lucky man congratulations what an inspiration sir!
Thanks Friend!
You are truly an inspiration to everyone
Thanks Friend!
I think the final price is $36,000 less than what I thought because of your genius in solving build problems during the build process.
LOL!! Thanks!🤗
Yooo this is so interesting to watch!
Thanks again for sharing videos of this awesome project man♥️
Thanks Friend!
This project is awesome and i really got inspired from it !
Great to hear!
me too
Love this style of videos honestly good job!
Thanks!
One of the best youtube videos. Priceless transparency. Congratulations and thank you. Subscribed
Welcome Aboard!
Amazing build and it's nice to see you share the experience 😀 but in the end, the reactions from your family and friends are priceless 🥰
Thanks Friend!
I am totally amazed by your transparency! Im a Mechanical Engineering student, and still young and seeing all of these prices being teared down for me is priceless! If only money is not the issue, I would love to build my own car just for the fun of it! Just found your underrated channel today and truly impressed!
Thanks Friend!
the unedited and unscripted reactions and your genuine positivity is totally the highlight of this channel. Subbed after watching a couple of videos. You're underrated as fuck man. Please dont stop doing what you are doing. Cheers from a very faraway place in the Himalayas, dude.
Thanks Friend!
I speechless...lol!
Great build.
I "thumbs-up" before I even watch...your craftsmanship and video quality are phenomenal 👌
email me electricsupercar@gmail.com. I need to get your info to send you your prize!
That was better than I guessed 🤓 Cool I have really enjoyed all the input on this
Thanks Friend!
Hey!
I got a mention 😂😎
Wow, a fair bit more than I thought, although I didnt realise a few things, for example the shipping costs.
Still, you've done a brilliant job from where I'm watching and alot more involved than I realised also.
The videos of the reactions are great!
Really looking forward to seeing it finished... but enjoying the watching more so along the way!
Keep it up!
Thanks Friend!
That was a great update!! Great stuff man.
Thanks Friend!
You deserve alot more subs and views, this is one of the coolest contents I've ever seen. Looking forward to more of your future projects.
Also, It looks like you also live in Utah. Somebody from my local.
Thanks Friend!
South Jordan
I admire your honesty in this video and I also admire your dedication to get this far along in your project. Really cool stuff here.
Thanks Friend!
Thanks for this video! The cost breakdown really puts the details of the project into perspective. You were under my estimated cost, but of course there was no accounting for your valuable labor. Still, labor is assumed as the point where the savings of a kit car build comes into play. (sweat equity). A shop would have cost tens of thousands more for their labor, parts, and profit. As with any big, hand built, custom project like this, there is a great deal of pride and satisfaction that comes with the small and big victories on the build journey. And that, (along with family fun) is priceless.
Thanks Dean!
Anything or anyone that puts smiles on loved ones and friends faces is priceless. Awesome build.
Thanks Friend!
The smile and the core memories that was given to your kids justified all the money you spent! Cool dad!
Thanks for the comment!
just found your channel and love this build! also love your transparency which is something rare amongst youtube channels. Earned a sub from me !
Thanks Friend! Welcome aboard!
Can’t wait for an amazing video.
Very soon!
I'm so impressed that you're reporting everything so legitimately! (I'm not surprised, however)
Keep on keepin' on!
Thanks Friend!
you are awesome man
Thanks Friend!
It's amazing to see the smiles and laughs on your face and your family/friends, I think this has much more value than the amount you spent. :)
Thanks Friend!
@@ElectricSuperCar you're welcome friend. I hope complete it ASAP. And I really hope to sit in this car along with you one day! :D
Very good work bro and information is right for people who think it's easy and cheap to do... keep it up
Thanks Friend!
Those smiles in the end are priceless!
Can't wait for the video love from Pakistan. My Entire Company watching this project from Pakistan.
Hi from Slovakia! Yeah, it's expensive but it's not finished and looks awesome already.
Thanks!
Seems like a great project. Great video too! :)
Thanks Friend!
Man insurgence must be expensive on a one off like that cool build on something Don at home on lockdown if this was in a shop would say waste of money but completely diy so worth it for the journey in the build and reactions from you friends and fam great job dude👍🔥🙌
Congrats 👏 on this and appreciate honesty
Thanks for the comment!
Great job showing the fun you were having with the kids and WIFE! I remember as a kid driving around town in a hot rod made from fence posts and model t 4 passenger tub. It was powered by 390 Ford 4 Barrel.
👍
Fantastic!! I was in an accident a year ago and ended up out of work and with a wrecked Harley and a half built from scratch Mercedes 300 Gull-wing. Thank you for telling us all how much this cost. I have been developing an electric motor and recycling circuit that has the capability to extend the mileage of the batteries (4-12 volt lead acid) from 200 miles to over 700 miles before charging and maybe more.. You have a beautiful family!!
Sounds like a cool project!
Thanks for the honest breakdown.
Any time!
Hey! I love your videos. Just a quick question though, which video do you show and talk about charging?
I have done a few. Here is one ruclips.net/video/J4LSbphxMeI/видео.html
Oh my god you such an amazing person and so transparent !!! my sub was in right place
Nice! Welcome aboard!
great video , love it
Thanks Friend!
Love your honesty.
Thanks Friend!
You are a true hard work and inspirer; you best utilized the time for creativity; I wish I know where you are and see you personally! God bless you for further success!!!
Thanks Friend! I am in Utah, USA
@@ElectricSuperCar Thank you, I am so much excited for it and may show up one day. Thanks
You missed to count our smiles and happiness. I wish you the best. Cheers from Egypt.
Thanks Friend!
Firstable thanks for your video build it was inspiring, I like that fact that you can enjoy putting paper bags over your head and enjoy it..!!😂😂😂 But the true test comes when you get to share it with your family and friends, reactions to their faces priceless.... that's what I call true enjoyment....!!
Thanks for watching!
You deserve more views big respect ✊
Thanks Friend!
Hello from Czech republic. Wow I didn't know that it's made here.
To be fair, $55k for a super car is still pretty good
Maybe, however i just found a second gen Acura nsx with an ls swap supercharge power plant, some custom interior work, paint and just a few other little things. So from what was called "the poor man's supercar " this thing is at 800 whp (fairly positive a few tweaks here and there tuning could make it a bit higher), anyway it was up for sale at $30,000 obo! Such a beautiful piece of machinery! Needless to say it sold almost as fast as the car is. One day...... one day....🤔🤨
Well done !!
Thanks Friend!
Ok am going to set a alarm
Awesome stuff! How much do you think you could save by converting a pre existing K1 attack or similar?
You know, the "smiles for miles" shows that its defiantly worth it. Money will coe and go but, memories will always stay with you. Congratulations you have a winner !
Thanks Friend!
The reactions were easily the best part of this build
I agree!
Fifty plus thousands dollars to build and electric supercar. Smiles per hour, Priceless.
Thanks Friend!
this is amazing!
Thanks Friend!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
One of the real values not mentioned is showing kids how to complete a project and let them experience the fun.
Exactly!
What a great build.. Respect
Thanks Friend!
Great series. I think, looking at the style and cost of packing and shipping etc I would have gone for the Factory Five 818 in your location, but great job anyway.
Awsome build, @10:55 your brakes are faded, or not aligned properly, did you fix that ?
Not yet. Thanks for the comment!
Can’t wait to see this thing on the road. Maybe a POV video. Also could do car shows.
Sounds Good!
I could build that too. If I had several clones, about twenty-five years to do it, and a brain twice the size of my current one. You are superhuman.
Thanks Friend!
This is truly Inspiring, also the fact that you learnt most of skills for this built by actually doing it first time? I wonder if you were working in engineering before? Or anything related at all? I myself is from a completely different background and been trying to put together a mini bike and learning metal works on doing it. Any way this is amazing. Congrats.
Nice!
Great project! I guessed 67k you are killing it on costs. Of course the time you’ve put into this probably dwarfs hardware costs.
I say you do another challenge and this one is how many drops of blood were spilled on this project. I usually lose about a pint per build. 😂😂😂
LOL! Or how many curse words
cheaper than i expected awesome build
Thanks Friend!
cool !
Great work man! I'm trying to do my FFR 818c with a Tesla Sport LDU for 25K. It's been tricky but I think I'm on track!
Good luck friend!
3:12
I assume this is the full kit from Ev west, but it sounded like they didn't give you much support...... and honestly most of the reason I would personally buy from them in that kit form, with the huge markup, is for their support expertise
Great guys, but I guess I was looking for was more support. Doing it again, I would have gone a different route.
@@ElectricSuperCar I'm personally going to source a LDU performance off eBay or a wrecker without flood on the vin, and then get that AEM vc200 box plus their screen thing. AEMs support will likely be way better
Sounds like a plan! Let me know how it turns out
@@ElectricSuperCar actually, I recommend a "if I could do it all over again, I'd do x y z instead and here's why" video, since you mentioned a few times you didn't end up needing certain things or wished you got something else
@@ElectricSuperCar hi, you say you would have gone z different route, could you please expand on this and reasoning for people seriously considering doing something similar.
I have been seriously contemplating a project of this type last few years, but have had a little health hiatus last 18 months, hopefully getting closer to point I can seriously get into something like this later this year.
Top video about kit car costs. IT seems that the cost of building a nice usuable kit CAR is around 45000, if you go electric a bit more
Totally agree
Always Stay tune
I love haw u make body
I have mini electrik car
N build it my own
No matter what happens or how much it costs the dollar figure can't compete with seeing the smiles on the kids faces when you accelerated !
Thanks Friend!
I've always loved the K1 and was ready to order one when "life" got in the way (and not in a good way)...
It would have been an ICE car as Tesla didn't even exist back then.
I admire you perseverance in getting this project done 🖒🖒🖒 and I'm looking forward to see the "final product" (have you thought about a hardtop?)
Thanks! I do have a hardtop. Coming much later. 😎
@@ElectricSuperCar That's great ; I'll be looking forward to see it!!
Think about all the formulas 'calculous 'codes' and other crap that was hard to learn to do this man ee me 'fabrication 'etc 'you are awesome
Sub’d for ur honesty👍🏻
Welcome Aboard!
Well Jeremy I've been waiting for this for awhile now. Hopefully donor cost (kit car) then electronics cost.
Watching from NZ keep up the good fight brother! And dont worry about your appearance, you are good looking no need to wear a paper bag!
Thanks Friend!
That car looks really good, you should start selling them on order.
I know...right!?!
I could feel your younger son's excitement And for the smile and 1 for me I was grinning from ear to ear at the end
Glad to hear!
That thing looks insane! It's definitely worth it for the memories made.
Thanks Friend!
Love it! You see the bar for transparency. Could you please run for political office? ;) Great content with a real problems and real solutions.
LOL!! Electric Supercar for President!
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets!
I bought a brand new model 3 for 48k after getting a tax credit. It comes with a warranty and autopilot and supercharging at any Tesla charger. It’s still cool to build something though. Thanks for sharing
Love your videos. I am thinking of buying a K-1 Attack kit myself. Are you comfortable sharing the assembly manual so I can see how complicated the build is?
Darren...Darren...Darren...There is no build manual.
ruclips.net/video/5EdAorT9jbI/видео.html
The best way to see how complicated the build is, is to watch my videos. I have also found another guy who is starting a k1-attack build (Kiefers kustoms) let me know if you have any questions.
@@ElectricSuperCar Thanks for the information - I am so impressed with how you built this kit car with so little information. Amazing! (I was hoping for a manual like Factory Five offers for their kits). I think I will take a pass on this kit.
Man..!! you are enjoying every moment building & testing the Super Car.. Priceless reactions from your kids, Sending lots of love from India.
Thank you JerryRigEverything for supporting Electric SuperCar's channel, you should do a lot of content supporting his passion.
WOW What a man he is..!!! with soo much of positivity & enthusiasm..!!! :)
Thanks 👍
1 like for your honesty.. love from India...
Thanks Friend!
That's honestly not a bad price at all for what you've got in it. You went for some serious performance.im sure someone could put together a k1 attack for much cheaper.
Thanks for the comment!
OMG... i can't imagine how hard its will be with my build. Hope its will be much easier.
I am sure you will do great!
I went way over my budget at the Basic chassis K-1 part.
Winner! Both showcases!
I was't far off whit my guess. But project is pricless, it has all kinds of value. Thank you for sharing it :)
Thanks!
nice!
also: your audio is on one side only sometimes. :)
Good to know!
Memories, priceless
Thanks Friend!
It's a high performance automobile built by you, and there's not other like👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks alot.that was a good idea that you created a different video during the process of car building.
I have a question about the prices in U.S
is there any reason that some prices are for example like 14.99$ instead of 15 $?does it have a reason or the seller just choses that?
Good question...I have no idea
@@ElectricSuperCar you mean both options are possible? 😅
Muy binita la carroceria me gusto
Hi from NZ... Im about to build a beautiful black replica countach... but im at a crossroads.... your advice.... i can either go with a LT4 supercharged V8 coupled to a C8 7 speed Tiptronic Dual clutch gearbox.... or Get the tesla Power pack like youve done....... what would you suggest i pick... the LT4 or the Tesla engine?
Tough choice! Quite a difference in your build plan. Do you love the thunderous roar of a V8? Hard to recreate with an electric car. Are you are going for quickness? Hard to beat electric instant torque. Totally up to your preference. Either way I am sure it will be an epic build!
@@ElectricSuperCar ive actually already decided.. Im gong to buy Charlie stricklsnds contach.. He makes alloy chasis then use your idea of the tesla motor... I was thinking running the batteries in the centre tunnel for balance and safety.. I don't want engine sound...... Did you have front motors as well or just the rear one? Jazz from. NZ
@@ElectricSuperCar to answer.. yes going for quick speed,,,...and another Q would you tell me the total weight of your car...you see if i go tesla and dont go the LT4 then that removes a tonne of weight already... so designwise im already on a win.... and i love your videos and channel.. you do a great job
