A91 A cleaner slippier supercar - eliminating the roof cut-outs

Getting in the car is easy with the truncated door seals, so why am I keeping the T-Top style head clearance panels? well, I am not! In this video the panels get bonded in place permanently. Better aerodynamics, a better weather seal and a better look!

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

I really have to hand it to you. You have a lot of knowledge and skill in a lot of different areas. If I come into a lot of money, I would like to fund you to build these on an assembly line. You could have a huge autoclave, you could build the whole thing out of carbon fiber, and you could use CNC and 3D printing too. I am so excited about the possibilities with this car. Hopefully once you finish it will become more than just a hobby for you. Great work and thank you so much for sharing the whole journey with us.

[@pivotalevent]

Yes, a big autoclave would be nice. I hope you do come into a lot of money. Thnks for following the build.

[@synthman7562]

I am amazed by your meticulousness and serious approach to business. Not only do you design and build a wonderful car, you also convey information to the viewer in an easy and informative way. Thus, watching episodes of the construction of this car, I am beginning to better understand the principle of the car’s working and the ability to work with metal, wood, plastic and other materials. This somehow inspires me to create. I really enjoy watching the gradual formation of a masterpiece! I'm sure your videos deserve a lot more views, and you will definitely find them! Here in Russia, unfortunately, things are not very good with cars. I hope the translator translated everything correctly

Я рада, что видео вдохновляют вас на творчество. В любом случае вдохновение для других важнее, чем наличие модной машины. Рад иметь такого зрителя, как вы, по всему миру. Мне бы хотелось иметь возможность перевести мои видео на другие языки и сделать их более интересными для вас. Спасибо за просмотр!

Well, thanks for all the watch time. A good "binge" watcher really triggers the algorithm!

[@54mgtf22]

Hey Jay. Love your work 👍

[@BuilderCreator]

Hey 54mg, I love your consistency. If every subscriber (It seems your not subscribed?) watched every episode, the algorithm would notice!

[@ArmySigs]

I have no idea how you work with fibreglass with no gloves on! You must have the itchiest hands in the world lol. Been following this since episode 1 and boy what an epic project, I don't think there's any way I could ever do anything like this so I'm glad someone is haha.

[@BuilderCreator]

I never itch handling fiberglass, unless I have to sand into the layers of the stuff. Keeping a dust extractor (Vacuum) running nearby help that a lot.

[@projectx-22racing85]

Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy watching the build. This is good stuff keep up the good work. A lot of the car show should be interviewing you. This is fantastic content. Can't wait to see the finished car!

[@BuilderCreator]

Glad you like them! Got a favorite car show? Let them know we're out here!

[@MisFakapek]

Im really looking forward to see it on the wheels and driving around your driveway. Love to see what you are doing as thats exactly what I will go thru with my project in the future

[@BuilderCreator]

Maybe after a winter of being stuck indoors, we will have it on its wheels and running this spring?

[@jackimo22]

Love that you take the time to film and update everyone on your progress. Do really appreciate how much extra effort it is for you to work out the best angle, setup a camera, remember to hit record and edit it all together with such a thorough explanatory voice over and post it to KZbin. On top of *BUILDING A FREAKIN’ CAR FROM SCRATCH* Thank you P.s. car is looking slick and sporty

[@OICU822]

I followed all the way through. Thinking of building my own car using a Dodge Stealth suspension, mid engine set up. I'll have a different approach using a CNC and hammer formed metal. Light weight with big power. Thank you for sharing your expertise and meticulousness! Definitely inspired!

[@BuilderCreator]

You're welcome. Someday I might try my hand at an English wheel rolled aluminum car as well.

[@clydecox2108]

Awesome work as usual. More badassary to soon follow I can only hope…

So fire! I can't wait to see more!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Looking good. I was curious how you would make the roof openings work with your door hinge design, I guess you just made that easier.

[@BuilderCreator]

Sometimes the complicated things are fun to tackle, sometimes fun is a waste of time and takes you away from other fun! You know how much fun doors and hinges are!

[@HolisticPatriots]

Your videos are inspiring me to should I just custom build a car or build a one off.

[@BuilderCreator]

Pick one- Today is the day!

[@mshelton65]

Love your videos! Been watching this car development since the beginning. I wish you could provide a list of the products you use for different applications. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@BuilderCreator]

Thanks, long time fans have kept the algorithm happy. I may do a "materials" episode one day; stay tuned.

[@RythmCAT]

nooo i loved those roof tabs

[@BuilderCreator]

With the cutaway door seals, entry is easy and I found that the roof cutouts purpose was somewhat mute. If I had a way to create custom molded black foam weather seals ( at a decent price and time frame) I may have kept them, but the new smooth top is nice as well! :)

[@celica03j]

Looking sweet!

[@rschmidt587]

Thanks to watching your videos I just saved 10 years and and approximately 4800 hours of my life. Never build a car from scratch! Even if you know what your doing like you definitely do it seems to take forever.

[@BuilderCreator]

I hope you didn't save that 4800 hours and use it on Netflix. ;)

[@rschmidt587]

I did not but I spend way too much time checking out KZbin videos, yours included. You are truly a brilliant fabricator. I look forward to you finishing that unique automobile. Maybe you can drive out to Tennessee and we can give it a shakedown cruise on the Tail of the Dragon.@@BuilderCreator

[@BuilderCreator]

@@rschmidt587 Is there ever a hill climb competition on the Tail of the Dragon? Or do people just ignore the 30mph speed limit? Ha!

[@rschmidt587]

People just ignore it. Cars and motorcycles go there from all over the world just to drive this famous section of road. Some employ just a spirited driving technique while others employ a no holds barred, oh my God, they're going to kill themselves approach. There are plenty of turnouts for those who just want to enjoy the scenery and get out of the way. A good time is had by all, unless they do in fact kill themselves which happens on occasion.

[@lvn968]

Quite some change that new look ! Guess will work out well at the end. So in Casa Jarvi it must be icecream for breakfast, icecream for lunch and icecream for dinner !?

[@breakshot7451]

i reallly have a love hate relationship with epoxy. you can be so creativ almost no limit and if you want (5 min epoxy) fast, too. on other side boy is it a toxic s---t . and sanding aaarrgghh nightmare. so i really like watching guys who deal with it;)))

[@BuilderCreator]

Yep, some people build an allergic reaction to it; luckily after many years I seam to still be okay with it. Perhaps my uncanny skill of keeping it off me?

*Good call, as much as I liked the idea of the roof cut outs they just didn’t look right, the hinges didn’t either. Those details disturbed the sleek flowing lines of your design, now the body lines look more clean and flow the way they should* 👍

Although I did have a great idea for the roof panel hinges with a working 3d printed prototype; I agree, this smooth top is going to be much better.

Are you at all concerned with working with resin without a ventilator? Every batch I've made its unbelievably chemically potent I couldn't imagine not having one.

Polyester and vinylesters are terrible! Most epoxies are almost odorless in comparison- no mask required.

What is the projected weight of the auto after completion? Been fallowing for years , great job lots ot thought design is pretty darn cool.

You have come a long way from the days of carrage building. A lost art indead. Your creative mind abounds . For lack of a better term ATTA BOY.

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

I wasn't a fan of the hinges but the roof cut-outs did set the car apart. Have you considered leaving them inactive until you finish the car and made them a project altogether for 2025?

[@pivotalevent]

Well, the roof cutouts are gone; set in stone/epoxy, but if I ever scan the finished car and build new molds, I'll add the cutouts back in. P.s. You will be a fan of the new hinges.

Well, when it grows up it will be. ;)

[@natesmemes1794]

*In a previous video you said that you have countless hours of unedited footage from your build, have you thought about using it to do an epic time lapse when you are finished or perhaps a video master class on the step by step process from concept to completion in more detail?*

Hoping to find someone else to edit a full montage video. It might be interesting to see an overview from an outsiders perspective?

[@daveffs1935]

How come you dont vacuum bag it to draw all the air out? Getting rid of the cut outs should give it a nice bit of stiffness

[@BuilderCreator]

Got the air out without the bag, why crank up the vacuum and blow money on bagging, tape etc? And yes, the panels bonded in will add some stiffness to the whole tub. Thanks for following the build.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

You you want to use 60fps as your primary real-time playback speed format, then you should set your shutter speed to 1/60th of a second instead of the default 1/125th shutter speed, or 180 degrees of shutter angle if you camera is in that mode. The default/industry standard practice removes critical motion blur and makes the motion look unnatural. 60fps 1/60th will look more or less exactly like real life. However, if you want to save some hard drive space, you can drop down to 30fps and 1/50th of a second shutter speed for a slightly more artistic look that's still FAR smoother than 24fps is. I have a couple other tricks to help perfect footage depending on your camera brand/model, so lemme know if you want them.

I have shifted back to shooting everything with my Galaxy 23+ smart phone . . . share away!
