Other than build threads here, what do you guys use for inspiration?  Any particular instagrams you like? Builders you follow on other social media?  Other stuff?

 

Personally, I'm a huge fan of 3D Magic Mike for my 3D printing plans. https://www.instagram.com/3d_magic_mike/

My Mechanics on YouTube. Not so much inspiration for things to do, but how to do things well.

Also, sometimes you can take inspiration from what not to do.

A little cheesy at times, but chock-full of really useful tips and tutorials from a master panel-beater and incredibly resourceful restomod builder. Check the Ford Focus guts into a vintage van built as a coffee/food cart series.

Hard not to be inspired by Mike Patey! He's got the energy and enthusiasm of 4 people put together. "back to work!"
