Can you build a car from scratch? One man's journey.

Have you ever thought of building your own car? Does the thought of driving a unique one of a kind creation intrigue you? Well then, this video may be just what you are looking for to answer the questions of what does it take, what do I need to know and should I really even take the leap? Follow the construction process of the Arete Supercar project and listen as Jay Jarvie tells what it takes to go from a pile of parts to rolling art.

"75% done with 80% to go" Thats a brilliant saying 😂
Great video!

OMG, i can't believe it has been 4 years 😂, I'm so pumped to see Arete move using it's own power... ☺

Congrats on the design. I feel like so many small manufacturers put out the weirdest looking cars, and yours already has a "production ready" look.

So refreshing to see an engineer with an engineering perspective take on a project like this and not some deep pocket youtuber who just custom orders everything. Your crash structure is on-point and what you did to cut costs is excellent. I'm just disappointed I just found this channel and see you have been working on this for years. Awesome!

Your vision and skills never cease to amaze me! The videos may be few but they are definitely worth the wait. Arete is one very elegant design.

I think you encapsulate the most important idea in this video; you love the process as much as you love the result. That’s what makes it so worth it!

I'm 23 and started a company a couple years ago, I didn't have much engineering experience and funded my projects by working a construction job. I find my projects and ideas take form much faster and are typically more robust when there are adequate constraints. I dont think its a bad thing to have to budget small and work around issues I believe it sharpens your mind and grounds your idea.

You've been an inspiration to me. I'm going the CNC route only because I built it myself I just need a place to put it now as soon as I find a shop I'll be ready to get started.

As a National award winning autobody painter, I can surely appreciate this!💪💪 I’ve always wanted to build an exotic car “kit” but the important things in life come first but you’ve been blessed with the means and conditions to do so.

I don't think that I will ever build a car, but it is so much fun watching your build. Thanks for posting these videos. I am cheering you on!

[davecourtois]

I wish there's more creative people like you. Thank's for sharing your passion with us, it's truly an inspiration to me. Keep going!

When I was at school I use to love drawing cars and believe it or not 43 years ago I drew a car which is so close to Lamborghini Aventador and wanted to build cars based on VW like all kit cars did in the seventies and eighties but I was always scorned and laughed at …. That is what happens when you don’t believe in yourself and follow your dream…
Congratulations my friend and your craftsmanship and design are great and I sincerely hope you will celebrate the successful completion of your project and having lots of miles of enjoyment driving her

I’m building a Ferrari P4 replica, which is taking me a long time by myself with very little resources so I can appreciate your efforts. I’ve enjoyed your videos and am impressed with all you’ve done. Looks great so far. Best of luck to you. Maybe I’ll get a chance to see your car up close some day. 😊

I love that you have a budget 35k and it’s great to see how that affects your decisions. Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to see more.

Your project is amazing! I love watching your progress on this car. You're an inspiration, setting a goal and working hard to achieve it. I can't wait to see the next video you release.

[RNS]

It has truly been an entertaining and educational experience watching your episodes. Can't wait till you get to (as @stanceworks would say) the last 10 percent of the project that takes 90 percent of your time. I love how the car has a Chevy cavalier windshield and a 1JZ with a hint of European/Italian design. You can tell even thru the videos that you are putting tons of man hours in and with a family and other projects going you're killing it.

[petemcgeehan]

You are a true inspiration, thank you so much for all the content in your videos! I absolutely love them.

[vinzanity]

Great vocation. Its builders like u that both inspire us and warn us this is not an easy journey.

[Hazdazos]

Love this. Totally dig the one-man-band mentality. When you have your mind set on doing something your way and to hell with what others think. Love it.

Nice video. I am anxiously waiting on the video for your door hinge solution. I have decided to redo my door hinges at some point in the future. On a fun note.. I took my car out for a short drive a couple of days ago, video coming
