Great video. I’ve got a custom steel tube chassis with Alfa 4 cyl motor mounted up front and an Alfetta and/or GTV 6 IRS rear mounted in the back. Strangely the double A-arms up front and rear have an aero shaped design rather than round tube. Need ideas on a body. Retro but modern take on a TZ1/2 or Tip-off 33 or something else? Also do I think about adapting EV motor to transaxle Instead of 4 cyl up front

That looks like a really big old planer table. repurposed.

You started where I left off and.👍🏽

mmm chocboard

Love this . Love the Magnificent old tool you have brought together.. You are super inspirational !!

A big HELLO from CYQT ✌🇨🇦✌ I just stumbled across this video. WOW ... truly AMAZING work. A true craftsman, artisan and visionary. Your attention to detail on all levels is second to none and it is evident in your work. Love how you are incorporating old school "technology and tools" with more current tech and tools. Looking forward to watching more of your content. Again ... WOW!!!. 👍🙏

Excellent 👏👏👏✊️💪💪you creat an absolutely awesomely vehicles, I wish I can have that opportunity to something like that 👍👏👏👏🫡im Mexican 🙋Jaime 🇲🇽 living greetings from Houston Texas

This is an amazing video. As a W.E./fabricator I have always been quite impressed with your craftsmanship ever since the days of Craigslist advertising. BRAVO! I wonder if 6022 H34 half hard or H32 quarter hard material at 18 gauge thickness is used for compound curved body panels? To me there is no sense in using 6061 T6 artificially aged and precipitation hardened material only to have to anneal it afterwards with a sooty carburizing flame like "PAY UP SUCKA" Mr. Jesse James. Hahaha! Thanks. SUBSCRIBED!

This was honestly amazing to watch. Not a CAD-running computer to be seen. A real, highly skilled craftsman! Thank you for sharing!

"Bought all my equipment restored" lmao yeah he bough museum grade restorations holy hell. Exhibit A of a investment manager or some white collar scab that figured out the advent of the screwdriver last year and wants to be this reborn hands-on cool dude, the way he talks like an awkward math teacher, talking about angle grinders like a bird watcher, the 80$ tshirt and designer jeans...you do a good job fooling the fools. My coffee was coming out my nose when he was fighting the squeaky equipment because he obviously rarely uses it. And his son that miraculously dreamt up an RSK from thin air...christ almighty what is this a gullible fest??? I know the hardcore guys that buy their car parts off china Speedmaster then post on facebook how they want to have anal sex with Trump, theyll eat this Hollywood act right up since they believe any load of well presented bullshit. KimK's ass is still, in 2024, more real.

I am newly retired. I’d offer to do a free apprenticeship for 6 months!

Thanks for sharing and getting a closer glimpse of your shop, tools and design approach. It is appreciated. Continual success and growth.

Make a promotional video ✅ Add guitar ✅ Do work looking things ✅ Tell me nothing about the product ✅ Lots of close ups of brand tag while "working" ✅ Voice over about the product made by people who "know what work is " ❎ So close guys 5 out of six ain't bad

Chris where do you get your music for you videos?

Please say no to playing a sound track when talking. Why distract from what is being said?

Hello Chris. I loved your video and your detail. I am a professional auto mechanic 45+ years. Maybe you would be interested in one or all of our work lights that my company makes and sells. Judging from the things you are building, there is no reason why you would not use any or all of our lights during your builds. I am a small company, a mere grain of sand in the industry but no company in the world makes a light that is even close to any of ours which a patent has been applied for. Take a look at just this one video and you will understand why we can be proud about our designs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTdhJyNo5mqj5I

I stopped creating custom homes for clients for the same reason that you mention. It becomes a part of you in a similar fashion as having a child. No client I had was capable of understanding that. I would sweat blood for over a year and when the keys were turned over I would never be invited over for coffee or a party. So I quit even though I was the Architect and builder. Now there are many like me who design and build projects for ourselves. And as surprising as it seems, when I must sell there are buyers waiting. It is still heartbreaking when you drive past your masterpiece and see that it is now a lovely shade of shit brindle brown.

I thought Chip Foose was awesome. But you are in another league. Amazing talent.

That custom car is amazing, seriously. I'm not sure he knows about the Figur G15 Sheet Forming machine. I get it, he's stuck on the lost art retro machines but the Figur G15 machine can form every part on his car in this video. He might have to slice the parts in the CAD software but he's already slicing parts here so it's the same process, slice, tig. The point is the process is faster because it's digital CAD and parts can be tweaked on the computer before building.

Wish I had his wealth of knowledge!

You should make the Mach 5

I remember watching Chris's videos when he was working out of a pole barn with a gravel floor. His shop has come a long way and so have his cars. I can't wait wait to see what comes next!

Finally, a real pro who can talk to ppl, thanks!

Would have loved to have seen more of that Prentiss Bench vise. :(

What thickness aluminum do you make your body panels out of ? I’ve built an Indy car ( you can see on my channel) and I’m about to make the body for it . Planning to use 090 thanks for your help

That’s really cool I’m so glad that you guys shared that. I’m going to make one🎉😊

One little tidbit to car guys / reapairers / manufacturers, amazon seems to be selling counterfeit merch and a high rate now. I ever tried to buy a bussman fuse and it says aurora on it, did some checking and there is an aurora fuse company in s. Korea.

Thank you for the tour! Better than Santa's workshop.

It makes me happy that quality tools have found a talented craftsman to use them.

Damn that's beautiful

Ok so where did you get that surface plate, I need one

Congratulations on an outstanding shop and tool array. I learned years ago, the quality of your tools directly impacts the quality of the job. Keep up the good work 😎

Chris, you are an incredible craftsman and engineer among other things..I have followed your work for quite a while and I have been impressed since the beginning...-John

Respectfully...plural of radius is radii... not radiuses. Just saying.

When I finished my trade as a panel beater I went and worked restoring rare racing cars which were crated to us from all over the world. Cars like D Type Jaguars, Le Manns winning 917 Porsche, Gull wing Mercs, Maserati 300S’s and many more. I was also invited to work at Rolls Royce making prototypes but in the end I became a trade teacher which was very rewarding. I can tell you this shop is incredibly well setup and you Chris are as good as I’ve seen. I tip my hat to you young man as you build your business around your mastery.

Outstanding

Wish i was a youngster again, I would love to give it ago.

Beautiful workshop & a love for tools/equipment. Mine is similar but not as tidy!

GREAT VIDEO FOR SURE

Chris - I am so impressed with how much you have expanded and updated your tools and working space. It is a real testament to your commitment to keep developing your skills, and continually improve on the beautiful work you do!

I grew up practically in the shadow of the Peck, Stow, & Wilcox factory complex in the 60s and 70s

Always great to see behind the scenes, thanks Chris. But I have to say I didn't know that you built your own custom chassis, I just assumed [incorrectly] that you farmed that out. It would be great to see some video footage of the process of building a Runge chassis. Cheers from Downunder!!!

Super sanitary setup! Lifetime craftsman and process junkie here, just love your design approach and that wonderful shop, thank you for sharing your work in this video. 👊🏼🤠

I can't believe that English wheel is from the 70's, was thinking turn of the century. Great shop, great products.

Great to see behind the scenes of your shop.

The shop itself is a work of art. tHanks for the video
