Background: For my project, I want to create a maximalist cantilever rear suspension setup for an SN-95 Mustang. I wanted to dabble in fully custom modifications for cars and with suspension in particular. I have very little experience with suspension so I wanted to do something with it. I’ve always been enamored with cantilever suspension…

I’ve been working on cars with my dad since highschool. Most of the work has been light modification type stuff and maintenance stuff. I wanted to start doing some fully custom work and thought I could start some of that with this project. Ever since I’ve been into cars I’ve been enamored by cantilever suspension…

Background: For my project, I want to create a maximalist cantilever rear suspension setup for an SN-95 Mustang.  Pre-manufacturing progress so far: So far I’ve designed most of the suspension in CAD (there will be minor changes to the design depending on how the manufacturing process goes and if I have to do anything differently…

Background For my project, I’m going to make a cantilever suspension setup for a SN-95 Mustang with a maximalist and functional upcycled aesthetic. The suspension is meant to relocate the standard suspension for functional reasons as well and aesthetic reasons. I want the suspension to have an upcycled and understated aesthetic with its construction while…

For my final project, I’m going to be making a cantilever suspension setup for the rear suspension of a SN-95 Mustang. It will look something similar to the image below.   Specifications: The suspension is going to be used for street driving and racing, so it must be functional first and foremost. I want the…

When thinking about my project and how I could make it look drastically different given limitations I have, I thought of a minimalist vs maximalist aesthetic difference in the geometry, layout and color of my design. For a more minimalist and hidden aesthetic, I would have the suspension components be positioned parallel to the length…

I wouldn’t say I necessarily have a personal aesthetic. It enjoys a lot of different and opposite aesthetics and implement many of them into what I do/make. One of my favorite aesthetics to implement into things I make is a more understated/sleeper aesthetic that focuses on functionality over all else. I would say this kind…

As an engineer with weaker artistic abilities, I admire designers who design and create things that are both functional and beautiful, but functional first and foremost. Because of this, I greatly admire Adrian Newey. Adrian Newey is a legendary Formula 1 car designer and is widely regarded as the greatest F1 car designer. Adrian Newey…

Intro and Inspirations: I had a hard time initially coming up with a project I wanted to upcycle. I was thinking I would use scrap metal and other similar materials for my project. At some point during the project I remembered my brother had this decommissioned grenade which was made to look like a fly…

So far in my project I have created some cad models to try and nail down the general look I’m going for. I still need to do more work on this front before fabrication starts. I have some materials I’m planning on using for the project but nothing set in stone so far. I am…

It is my plan to incorporate more than one aesthetic into my upcycled project. The main aesthetics I want to incorporate into my upcycle project are ‘dirty’, industrial and arts and crafts aesthetics. Similar to the fly sculpture seen below, I want to make a moth sculpture centered around a decommissioned grenade where the moth…

Outrun, also known as or attributed with synthwave and retrowave, among others, is a relatively new aesthetic. It only recently came about and gained popularity in the 2010s. Outrun visuals and music evoke nostalgia, familiarity and longing of the 80s, even with people who were born long after they ended. Fast, boxy cars, neon colors…
