In my last post I mentioned my project car and I wanted to share some progress with y’all! I also just started a tiktok page where I’m uploading some videos I took from up to three years ago. If you want to check it out it’s @thelewisgarage The car is a 1993 Honda Prelude VTEC, came with an H22A which promptly got ripped out for the H22A4 I built. It’s got fully forged internals, a custom intake manifold I made, and some other goodies. Recently I installed and port matched a 70mm throttle body to it, and I put a T3/T4 hybrid turbo on it with a mystery manifold which I plan on swapping for a twinscroll that I plan to build myself. It’s been a super fun project so far, and I hope to finish soon, but who knows. Money is tight right now 😂

Taught my cousin how to lay down some sweet welds. In just a couple of hours he went from only being able to burn through to running some beautiful welds. Now it’s just a matter of time and consistent practice before he becomes a real pro! I hope I can share the same knowledge and skills with all of you!

One of the many how to weld course tests coming up! 35 amps .045 308 rod 1/16 2% lanthanated tungsten #7 cup @25 CFH Using the copper weld fixture for backing. 10 seconds post flow

I know my way around an engine and can do wiring but in the world of design and fabrication I am about as green as it gets. My engine blew in my car and I’m taking the opportunity to learn fabrication by making a track toy by designing everything in CAD, welding my own tube frame chassis, use parts from the car, etc. I expect a large learning curve… how do I figure out where to start in terms of learning how to use CAD, what programs to use, and getting materials?
