Build My Ride aims to inspire and expand the builder community. For many, vintage and specialty cars seem financially out of reach. The cars you had posted up on your bedroom wall as a kid often remains just a dream. Here, you can start with much less, work on it yourself, and pursue your passion. Build My Ride unlocks your potential with projects for every level. Using visual indicators for Difficulty Level, Project Completeness, and Parts Inventory, we show you exactly what to expect. No skills? No problem! Online resources like YouTube and forums make knowledge accessible to all, and we are here to support your project journey. With consumer-grade tools and a place to work, you’re ready to start learning and fulfilling your dream.
We’ve dug cars out of the dirt. We’ve created name brand media and entertainment platforms. We’ve brought cars back to life and found enthusiastic new owners to pass the torch to. All of this experience has been brought together to position BMR as the platform of choice for automotive projects, parts, tools, and builder resources.
Build My Ride utilizes familiar visualization techniques that inspire confidence in the future builder and assist the pro alike. We aim to help a builder find the perfect project.
With an easy to understand graphic style, our difficulty rating helps the buyer and seller create an understanding of how challenging the project will be. Difficulty being entirely subjective, we take into consideration project conditions such as simple parts replacement to serious fabrication and finishing.
The Build Difficulty is not a science, but with logical applications of the elements that will be required to complete a project we define the Build Difficulty to the best of our ability. True build difficulty will be up to the buyer and what they are comfortable taking on based on what is “difficult” to them.
Each project on Build My Ride begins with a build status. The Build Status is a summary of how close to completion the project is. All projects are a work of art and “completeness” is to the discretion of the builder. Our build status metric is based on our evaluation of the project in order to achieve a roadworthy state. Just like art, project cars are subjective too!
The parts inventory meter is intended to clearly align the expectations for a buyer as to what they will receive with the project. Parts inventory may include parts of the project both loose or installed.
Parts Inventory is defined further with a tab style list matrix that indicates broadly the exact parts that are in the inventory. Your dream project may be missing some parts that you’ve already collected. Parts Inventory will help make your puzzle complete.
