$500 Junkyard Supercar! Making an Aluminum Hood Vent. (Project Jigsaw)

[@MuShinnen]

This is like Saturday morning cartoons for me back when I was a kid. Look forward to it every week.

[@davidcamilli170]

Nailed the feeling

[@matthewreed7471]

Absolutely. These guys are top notch - fabrication enhanced with modern technology and media skills too!

[@DungeonMetal]

Honestly the same. Glad I ain’t alone

[@adamrobertson135]

Yes, now it’s got a specific time slot it’s enhanced the loyalty to them, starts the weekend with a fun vibe. I predict 2 yrs to a finished article…..

[@markbradford4557]

100% this is the great joy of Saturday mornings as a mid 30’s child

[@shred1894]

Die Hard is in fact the best Christmas movie ever made.

[@ya33a]

The 'outlet' air needs to be about 25% greater than the 'inlet' area opening, otherwise hot air can stall in the duct area and cause overheating issues, as hot air expands...45 years experience building cowls for model planes...

[@roaddoglv]

Second law of thermodynamics, temperature transfer is nearly instantaneous which doesn’t require the velocity of the air to slow to cool better. Efficient heat transfer requires more volume than velocity. It’s a common misconception in automotive circles.

[@FredAllenBurge]

Yep! Same with radiators, never slow down the radiator coolant speed. So many people get that part wrong.

[@xz9592]

I have a PhD in Aerodynaminomics and have become it's CEO. I have thoroughly analyzed your radiator duct and bestow upon it an A+ rating. As I also minored in Structural Voids in Space and Time, I can confidently say that the more large, empty voids you build into your car, the lighter it will get. Keep going!

[@yglnvbrs]

This all looks great, i like following your build cause your process somehow looks both proffesional and chaotic at the same time, lol

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Professional Chaos is a pretty good description of us. 😂🤙🏻

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Really coming together. We all use what we have at hand to do the job, whatever that is, but I have always found a jigsaw with a wood blade works great on aluminium sheet.

[@asciimation]

Yep, jigsaw works well on aluminium. You can get aluminium cutting blades for them.

[@FredAllenBurge]

There's no need to ever slow down air through a cooler, the faster the better👍

[@christiandorman9126]

I’m looking forward to seeing this finished this is gonna be amazing when it’s done

[@charl_k]

Yippie ki-yay, thanks for the updates on the other builds, always good to know you're listening to your fans. (Yes, you have fans). Eagerly awaiting those episodes.

[@Kneedeepingore]

The cleanest way to cut aluminium is actually a circularsaw for wood. I use a milwaukee finetooth carbidetip blade, cuts 1/2" aluminium easier than plywood

[@tirabbi1]

Completely agree with you, I used to work in a company that cut huge Paroc panels to size with a circular saw, & they are made of steel. Far quicker & cleaner.

[@florianpinto9999]

Sooo cool to see this car come alive!!!!

[@ianwelburn7514]

Air loses heat as it expands as well. Expand out and slow down to pass through the radiator. The outlet needs to be slightly bigger than the inlet to keep the pressure differntial ( can't rely wholly on drag from the aerodynamics). How are you going to deal with water through the scoops?

[@bake162]

Always a good day when Crucible posts new content, nice work lads!

[@aarondennis4561]

You guys are killing it. Love it man!

[@GT350RRR]

Does the flat radiator tab on the round tube bother Antone else? 😂

[@LeeHuynh-jw2wc]

I’m happy with anything you’re willing to some us I’ve learned so much from both you guys.

[@stigrunetefke2157]

You 2 are doing a Awesome job. :)

[@83silverdub]

Once again i was up just waiting for the upload. This is addictive. Awesome work boys!!!

[@SaitoGray]

The wireframe in the thumbnail looks really good. Can't wait to see the car fully skinned.

[@Bnm-fk9fi]

Damn but I love these videos. I have learned so much just from watching these two experts 😀 I will never use it but feel like I can 😀 keep them coming!

[@witchcraftauto]

Tony has worked with you for so long he doesn't even break concentration when an inflatable clown is thrown perfectly at his feet! :)

[@carbongecko]

Love the way its coming along, the opening area looks great, using the clam shell

[@theakh4238]

You might need a air damn on the bonnet to create a low pressure area for the rad exit. The way that nose is raked, there is a potential that there will be higher pressure at the exit than the entrance.

[@Keasbeysknight]

Looking great!

[@gafrers]

Love the Ducting. Great to see progress

[@EternalGamingNet]

Another great Saturday!

[@seanedwards3685]

Absolutely loving this project, definitely needs a miura esc bonnet vent

[@theakh4238]

I keep looking at all that metal work up front and thinking I could do it easier with composites. Since it is a one-off, you wouldn't need to make a plug. Just is a wire or wood frame and polyisocyanurate foam sheets to make the shape, and then hand layup. Then again, I don't have any of the big metal working tools or shop space.

[@Mightymilo1975]

Use a carbite blade for your grinder or circle saw to cut your sheet make sure you use bar of wax (candle) or soap bar on the cutting face and side of your blade stoping it clogging up and make smoother cutying

[@jesseallan3886]

For cutting aluminium easily get a circular saw with an aluminium specific blade. Wear hearing and eye protection ✌️

[@ya33a]

There is a metal roofing 'nibbler' that fits a Makita/Dewalt drill for about $80...worth looking into..

[@bjsmithart]

Welcome back Roger!

[@timhitt5749]

You could put fabric sheets over and across the rods, use fiberglass resin and fiberglass to make body panels.

[@StraightLineCycles]

when you get the body done, would be cool to anodize it.

[@AllSpeed]

keep up the great work guys.

[@excaliber32]

The front scoop and lights will look a bit like a Noble m12 that we have here in the UK 👍

[@2512MaTHias]

It’s fascinating to watch how you form your car using pipes and wires… I’ve never seen this manner before. What headlights do you have in mind? I think Porsche 928 or at least 993 ones might look great! 👍

[@wayneprater8960]

Have you thought about using a skateboard wheel as your large die when tipping the edge of your metal to make a flange? It also helps the small wheel not gouge as deep in the metal since the soft skateboard wheel lets it sink in as it rolls.

[@DataRew]

There are times when I really wish KZbin would implement thier live chat "hearts, party horns, etc." system on videos, so that when a particularly good joke lands, you could acknowledge it in a way that you guys could see (I like you guys' videos as practice because it's always true and just interupts me to do it at joke-appropriate moments.). I see all of the riffs from both Ryan and Tony around 9:22 and that's why I wrote this lol. EDIT: RYAN, WATCH DIE HARD!!!!!!

[@THETICK36]

use a good skill saw with a Diablo Metal blade. I build Sings out of Aluminum and when i need to cut stuff that wont fit in our shear, like an access panel, i use a skill saw.

[@GooseGosselin]

Looks.....dam good!. Especially since you just went yipikaye without a slip roller.

[@AllSpeed]

the angle of the radiator exit can be important. i know Mike from Stanceworks re-did his after someone did some calculations. it may be a little too steep.

[@guscorp-4k]

You could try using a jigsaw with a fine tooth wood blade to cut the aluminum.

[@coerteilander2614]

I also like the Ford GT40 with double output on the hood

[@alman-world]

You can fix your radiator by pushing it into being a triple pass, with end tank block panels. Have a think about it.

[@herveythrasybule8827]

Love your music

[@guinnesslover2970]

alu minium there is an extra i in the word ;)

[@pdq914]

You can cut aluminum like this with a 5" or 7" inch circular saw with a carbide tipped blade. It will cut through it like butter. The small saw is better and easier but uses more batteries

[@Samereye]

How do you plan on servicing the front end? I dunno if you considered it while designing. Like a hood that flips to the windshield, or to the front, does the entire clamshell flip? Or does it ALL come off?

[@cycoholic]

Don't forget that hot air expands, thus you need a larger exhaust vent than the intake vent. Not 100% sure on what the proper ratio is, but you should be able to find a calculator for hot air flow through vents online somewhere.

[@nikcodling]

Tony’s face; “ you’ve never seen Die Hard?!” But seriously, you’ve never seen Die Hard?! 😳

[@manx1641]

Probably too late now but have you considered a remote brake fluid reservoir to gain a little space

[@Kamccizo]

Finally life after project binky

[@joaquinsoto4909]

@cruciblecoachworks blades for cutting wood, work pretty well for cutting aluminum.

[@ostidetabarnak]

this video cured my hemorrhoids! thanks guys

[@glennarnold3970]

Guys to help with the cooling you could turn the radiator into a tripple bypass by putting a cut in one end tank side a third of the way down put a piece of aluminum in the cut then weld the cut on the other tank repeat but put the cut 2 thirds of way down and go back to the first tank and put the cut a third from the bottom and plate and weld so the coolants has to zig zag 3 times down the tank so more airflow for a longer time on the core to disapate the heat hope this helps cheers from down under

[@BUSHY1959]

that technique was used by Home Built By Jeff in his Alfarrari project when it was experiencing overheating issues.

[@glennarnold3970]

@@BUSHY1959 yep sure was

[@trunk8d]

you should have that vent fold out to a drink table for the car shows

[@JoshsWorld]

Did you purposely edit Tony using the mallet to go with the beat of the music?

[@moStallion]

I think you guys should just use fiberglass. Weld a roll cage in the car to make it more stiff. Then create the shell out of fiberglass. Keep up the work guys. God bless

[@JMC9837]

Are you using 30-03 aluminum on everything?

[@84eurospec911R]

Circular saw and jigsaw with metal blades will be a easier cutting option for that aluminum

[@normankukukjr2008]

What are you going do about water drainage? I realize you probably will not drive it in the rain, but I am sure it will get washed ...

[@steverichardson6920]

Just thought of the same thing but checked comments first and wallah……there it is 👍

[@torgunnarfjlstad156]

But why isent the clamshell welded to the boden?

[@crabapple1974]

Just an idea. Why not duct and vent the radiator underneath the car? It should be a negative pressure there from all the air rushing by in a constricted space. That way you don’t have to worry about water ingress from rain. Am I approaching this wrong?

[@tirabbi1]

I agree with @kneedeepingore , using a circular saw will be far better for your purposes.

[@thefishboypro9031]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bryanbrunk1186]

I've never agreed with the "slowing down the air speed" theory.

[@saiblades6672]

It was NOT "only one", it was "Obi-wan"

[@Cubanb407]

Killer me with the Highlander ref overlay

[@suecobandito8954]

2 Cents: I think the Coolant Temp sensor needs to be closer to the engine and not at the radiator for more accurate control. Coolant will cool running forward and give a lower/errant temp reading if the sensor is at the front. The puke tank can go in the void space behind the vent valance.

[@GTDima]

I am foreigner and sometimes I really can't understand what Ryan say like at 6:00. Wrooboolooobuuutoofoo what? This is too fast! Dear fluent speakers, could you answer me: did you understand his talk?

[@the_real_beefchunks]

He said "Think it would be better to do that than the asymmetrical mess."

[@GTDima]

Haha thank you! The question is not very direct. I only wanted to know how many people at this channel have similar problems with machine-gun-talking from Ryan :) Subtitles was helping me in strong situations!

[@dutysuper999]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@nathanchalecki4842]

Nooooo, it was going excellently with the aluminium and then you went and used heavy steel for the mounting flange :-(

[@therealbikerman]

What real man has not seen Diehard? So where you guys at ? California 😅😂

[@carloseduardoromerosanchez3282]

Las celdas del radiador deberían ser desarmadas y colocadas en el céntimo horizontal para que el aire pase forzado como es normal!!! Claro! Solo es un comentario! Yo no soy experto🙈👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💎💎💎💎💎💎🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️

[@StephFourie21]

More icky thumb garage yay!

[@StephFourie21]

Side note I like that beefier radiator isolation

[@paosaelee7846]

So you guys decided to cut up a Porsche car and then rebuild another Porsche car shaped with the same Porsche shaped head lights, but a different custom hood air vent and different replacement for the Radiator, and now you guys are calling it a super race car.. If you guys wanted the same Porsche Shape car why cut up the original Porsche car....

[@wrxsubaru02]

So what's the deal with the inflatable bozo things? What's the story behind those?

[@someone4you]

12 years ago, i sold my lovely ( 1984 - Porsche 930 - 911 wide-body ( number 9 in factory - limited edition , - Black Jack, black interior and exterior with white gauges , ) for only 2300$ Yes 2300$ , i was mad with the local dealer, when he asked for 4000$ for ( Windshield - front ) and the overseas price was 900$, i feel sorry i did that, the dealer still ripping peoples and Porsche owners, and the ( Porsche head quarter ) never care, all the care about, the dealer is doing a great sale, Porsche don't care about the quality and service anymore

[@JamesDStallard]

"never watched die hard" unsubscribe, obviously!

[@StanleyKubick1]

You'd get more views if your videos had more streamlined progress. 30 minutes for a radiator tray is wild, and then you end the video by claiming to respect viewers time
