The Bellytank Racer
A reverese engineered custom car with a streamlined body and four exposed wheels. On the inside there is an 1975 M10 BMW engine with the corresponding transmission. A steel chassis and frame has been made to secure all the car parts. To finish it up, sheet steel has been used on the exterior as well as an aok wooden nose and tail.

THE BELLYTANK RACER
In this project, my goal was to modernize the traditional Bellytank Racer concept by giving it a sleek, quick and sharp design. Normally objects should prioritize functionality over design, however since this car will be used infrequently, emphasis could be placed on the asteathics of the car.

This project expanded my knowledge of engines and car mechanics. I didn't create any pre-project drawings, instead, I learned as I went. This efficient approach saved time and provided valuable insights for future challanges.
