Cyberpunk Miata Build: Making Custom Turbofans. Part 1 of 2
In this video we get back to work on the Cyberpunk Miata, this time starting on a new pair of wheels for the rear. I will show you how I made my original steel wheels and fiberglass covers as well as go over the process of designing and prototyping a new set of turbofans with the aid of CAD modelling and 3D printing.
Enjoy the video.
