Ant Goes Back To The UK To Build His Car's Body | Ant Anstead Master Mechanic

[@bigmatt5853]

This is what the regular series is missing.... I think we need to see more of Ant doing more than just explaining what he has done. This build is a fantastic series, lovin it!

[@derekjackson7024]

Love the fact you can see your passion for this in your eyes and face , brilliant 😉

[@Bigjoelifts15]

Ant im loving watching you do what you do best .thats design and build cars .loving this series. Big love from the UK ❤❤

It’s great watching folk who are good at what they do.

The best bit about this video is not hearing Mike Brewer's voice!

[@mikefranky]

And not seeing his fake tan..

[@Robbo2g]

Hold out yerrr hand....Mike is a decent bloke to be fair and nothing will replace him and ED even though Ant is good

[@ronaldmadican2393]

@@Robbo2gYou've advertised this for how much?, I'm gonna go in with my size ten's and bid Im quite hard. So I'm gonna make you an offer... and it is a fair offer! Mike's got more catchphrases than Bruce Forsyth! Come on.

Chopped "strand" mat is the name, at least in America. Awesome talent. Hats off to Ant.

[@seanoturbo]

Look forward to you going back to America as soon as possible,

[@privatedata665]

Cool vid . I enjoyed working with glass and carbon whilst molding things

[@frankie5341]

We used a good polish and pva release agent, maybe some double layers on the corner knock points or a few carbon fibre strands also some foam lengths bonded in to strengthen, nice result though, going to be a cool result.

[@meteormotorcycle4442]

Awesome vids! Hard to believe to layers of 1.5 oz cam can produce that shell! Can’t wait to see finished car!

[@stevecotterill7981]

Terrific video... I learnt so much... very slick... thanks 👍

[@johncrosley1]

Chopped STRAND mat. Gel coat only hardens in the absence of air, it stays tacky to allow good adhesion of the layers of glass fibre. In another video he called a water pump impeller a fan. A real expert.

Ant runs businesses? You really think if he didn't know what he was doing he get found out pretty quickly?

Chopped strand mat .... where did straw come from ... tv land!

[@sup3rbird]

And yet he's telling everyone "how to do it". He says "strands" later in the video so he does know what they're called.

[@andrewwilson8317]

When did Ant become a master mechanic? What does this mean? Who awarded him this title?

[@jasoneldridge4738]

Iam a Master Tech and had to attend many training courses and work up through stages to achieve this ,approx 4 years start to finish !.so when did he become a Master Mechanic and what qualifications did he achieve ,I thought he started off as a pig (police officer if you want to be polite)

[@paulsteele6120]

@@jasoneldridge4738 It's all to do with smoke and mirrors, so if you believe it's all done by one man you are inviting smoke to be blown up your arse!!

[@privatedata665]

Damn good question/point . The man has talent but the title is very questionable .

[@jcjordache]

His doings are guaranteeing him as a Master Mechanic.. paper diploma does not guarantee anyone is ...qualified to do anything.. it shows he attended some education somewhere that is why most of them work for government, in the private you must deliver what you allegedly are educated or trained otherwise after 30 days you are back on the street

Ant Anstead is watchable as long as (old art yur and) isn't there

[@stevenharpervw]

That looks brilliant

[@krankysledzz]

It’s neat to see how the body is made in the mold. BUT how do you accually come up with the making of the “mold” itself?

[@sparky4878]

There’s a whole season on Amazon about the making of this car. Assume it’s in the show. But I don’t have the right subscription to watch it.

[@queeg6473]

You first make a 'Buck'. You make the shape of the car out of wood, chicken wire and clay (I'm serious). When you have done all the shaping in the clay, you layer on gelcoat and thick fibeglass to make the first mould. From that mould you make the prototype body, which you then make perfect using body filler. Once you are happy with the finish and shape you can make the production mould, from which you make the proper car body. The thicker you make the production mould, the longer it will last, and the more bodies you can make out of it before it will need replacing.

[@fasteddy917]

@@queeg6473 True. That's why the mould is so flimsy. It was there for a one off pull. Maybe two or three at best just in case there was a problem with one of them. If it was a production mould it have been a lot thicker.

[@maxmazariego9076]

Looking good my friend! I'm looking forward to see your creation finish!! 👍 I love Porsches are doing any plans or anything for sale?. Thanks I love your show

[@autobez3132]

Ant is a legend

[@nickhickson8738]

Aren't these resins used, Styrene-based unsaturated Polyesters? If so and as a former Polymers chemist, the vapour is dangerous both short and long term one leading to Retrobulbar Neuritis. Nasty stuff and good ventilation and eye covering is essential.

[@pinkeshyadav4965]

I love this work

[@TECsta76]

In the zone man......

[@arburo1]

Who made the moulds? Please show a segment on the making of the male former and female mould.

[@timothydraper3687]

I wonder if they can be bought from other companies?

[@arburo1]

@@timothydraper3687 It takes a very skilled pattern maker to make the master male pattern. The female is then taken from that, polished on the inside and then the final workpiece is moulded from that. Pattern makers exist in the big old world, and their work is highly sought after. The question is, who made the patterns and can we see a segment on the process, please?

[@marcelovespa1725]

Muy bueno Ant sos un maestro lastima que a Argentina no están llegando los capítulos nuevos de WD por DISCOVERY TURBO

[@therealgaragegirls]

Fairly decent editing. To the untrained eye, you'd think Ant was the one doing the fiberglassing, when in fact, it's the left-handed bloke with the watch on his right wrist.

[@RazzFazz-Race]

Hm, its easy to work with that glassfibre sauerkraut but real fabric is much stronger. and why dont he use carbon ? 20 squaremeter cost 400€ and glassfibre costs 80€.

[@stuartd9741]

Fibreglass obviously cheaper - but easier to repair? Can a carbon fibre panel be easily repaired once damaged compared to fibreglass?

[@RazzFazz-Race]

Stuart D there is no difference in repairing. you can also mix glass and carbonfibre. But you should not mix epoxy and polyester resin

[@jasoneldridge4738]

In reality wheeler dealers would have gone bust years ago with their business plan, basically buy a vehicle at just below market value, spend 6 months restoring with no budget while Brewer spends hundreds on non essential bling and sell ,making about £200 profit and not taking into account the actual labour cost.really worth the effort .

[@andrewausterfield6710]

make it into the highest viewed motoring TV show and syndicate it all over the world. The cost of the car and doing up just created some very cheap TV.

[@FAST928GTS]

Why didn't you do it in Carbon fiber

[@stuartd9741]

Most likely cost. Quick search reveals cost of carbon fibre around 140$ per kg. Fibreglass way cheaper. Plus if damaged the fibreglass can be repaired..
