Man i absolutely love this car. As is even unfinished. John you own one of the most incredible cars in the world. Patina Paradise for real.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

[@DeanofMachines]

That thing looks absolutely mental laid out on the concrete!!🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮

[@JohnLudwick]

It’s so crazy in person, man!

[@shakenout4980]

Looks sweet! I would suggest slicing the pinch weld off completely and running flat rockers all the way along. It will help to reduce the miss-matched heights of the rear end and the greenhouse sections. Keep at it dude!

[@JohnLudwick]

Next episode foreshadowing 👀 Thanks man!!

[@FLIT2kMK1]

When the front pops ups up when the rear airs out😮😍 was the best past of the whole video

[@ashleyrankin2456]

Living a bagged out, air cooled, patina dream life

[@michaelsidhu4079]

Looks great to me, no need to go any lower since you're on the ground plus those rear wheels and tyres look great.

[@WarrenArmstrong69]

This would have to be one of my favourite builds ever, hopefully this blows up your channel and you get to 50000 subscribers. Great update!

[@snowblindburd]

OMG when the front wheels came up!

[@GrafsGarage3]

Dude how legendary to air out and have the wheel off the ground.

[@BenHut69]

Watching this whole series from the start. Good lord how have I not found your channel earlier, this is the coolest shit happening on KZbin rn. Excited to catch up

[@JohnLudwick]

I really appreciate that, man! Thank you!

[@classicgaragenewzealand2380]

Make the fuel tank out of a beer keg..perfect size👌🏻

[@northshoreracer]

Me at 20:31 “PUSH IT OUTSIDE PUSH IT OUTSIDE!!!” ❤

[@JohnLudwick]

I can’t wait to see it outside!!

[@cameroncmuller]

Out of control! Love this project John!!

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks man!

[@Oem_plus1979]

Excited to see this done for complex union show in Canada hope you make the deadline mate

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks Jason!

[@Oem_plus1979]

@JohnLudwick no problem john keep pushing you got this

[@gkanderson92]

I could see and hear the fireworks. Nice work John.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks Gary!

[@jeffreybanks9642]

You’ve done it again my friend and it’s not even complete. Seeing your visions come to life in these episodes is sick keep em coming we’re all here for it.

[@JohnLudwick]

I really appreciate that, Jeff! Thanks man!

[@vigilum]

Man, you are a true artist!!!! thank you for sharing.......

[@lewisabrahall6628]

looks crazy John and the back quater gap to floor looks fine dude I think it flows nicer. Looking forward to seeing the sills chopped 😅

[@piasprojects]

John you’re absolutely killing it with this build!! It’s a work of art! 🎉🤘🏻👌🏻

[@JohnLudwick]

I really appreciate it chris! Thank you!

[@lj6278]

Oh, Man, I could feel your excitement. The combination of the car's rarity and the only one this low is so cool. I got goosebumps. Great video, John.

[@McGowJobs]

When a 195/45-15 is "too meaty"...

[@JohnLudwick]

😂😂😂😂 I know it hahaha

[@Flamed48]

Here’s a thought for getting the rear wheels on and off, why not go with a “fender skirt” setup similar to the 57 ford Tbird

[@enfamy_OG]

When the car hit the ground i was in awe, then i saw your face was the same as mine 😂 that thing lays so hard the wheels free spin 😅 i wonder if theres room for a beetle style fuel tank under that hood

[@suchajoe]

You were a Minitrucker in a previous life!

[@JohnLudwick]

I’m just making up for lost time while all my friends were and I wasn’t! 😂

[@JoeyGatt-ni5kt]

I love seeing fresh steel welded to patina,that is the sickest stance,your knocking it out of the park,keep it up thanks for the e23 tease

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks man!

[@ishsiriram6646]

Awesome work bro. from South AFRICA

[@V4P3THVLV]

When you said it's going lower, I got the tingles. Sooo good.

[@Podver3]

20:05 Before this point I thought the front wheels needed to go back but this look is just amazing.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks man! Yea I think they MIGHT have to. Luckily that’s a bolt on part I can get from Chase Hill, so I could cross that bridge later on if needed!

[@user-fs5cf7nq8i]

Cage 66 is the man also there’s another 1000sp on market place right now lol

[@Coffeeandbrats]

Damnnnnn dude!!! I’m getting 700 build vibes! Love to see it man. Stoked for you.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks Jason! I’m so stoked to be making progress on it!

[@bluechristopher7673]

Bravo! I've truly been loving following this build and just love your work, imagination, videos and how you have no stop or fear of crossing a rickety bridge of course after fixing it along the way to bring the world your beautiful visions. Side note..Commendable how when working you are always giving props to other builders and mechanics that help in their own ways big or small taking everyone along with you. Alright, alright that's enough praise but thanks for sharing John! Can't wait to see the new back tires and how you will chop it with the tires so close to the rear windshield already.

[@Whitelightening09]

Amazing work John! You’ve come so far with this build! It’s going your way be wild when it’s done!

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you so much!

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

Top Quality Aircooled Content!

[@CVYNER98]

Absolutely brilliant 👐🏼🔥

[@mr.b.4663]

Awesome job🔧👍

[@DirtyDannnthemannn]

Wish we could’ve seen some spider web designs in the engine bay 🤣

[@LOWBIMMER323i]

Holy cow John, I’m in amazement as well! Bravo!👏 This is looking incredible! Pat yourself on the back because this IS nuts! Damn!! 🤘👌

[@Cool_Retro]

This car is sick. I love the wheels you chose. Looks like a baby '57 T-bird.

[@russwr4946]

never seen one ,it kinda looks like a sunbeam from the front mixed with a miniatured 59 caddy thats fricken cool looking

[@speaksthetruth]

I like the caster where it's at in the front with the sloping arches. Rear tyres don't actually look that meaty🎉

[@peterlavictoire8369]

i wouldn't go lower, it looks amazing now and i don't think the extra work is justified

[@davidklauer3422]

Man, that’s stupid cool!

[@GregoryBamber]

Airbags are almost like patina, as common as a'holes, lol.

[@jeraldhite9744]

Its a great car!!

[@iamkoekwous]

what a build :) insane, how high is the roofline?

[@robertsummers753]

NEW FOLLOWER AND IT LOOKS DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE WORK DUDE!!

[@validcorn8584]

Love from Australia, this thing is hot

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you!

[@hemiboyrcbmxerwilliams7599]

You need to do some “L” gussets from the Ludwick logo

[@JohnLudwick]

I thought about it!

[@TomMelling228]

so fkn cool

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks man!

[@StaalsWorld-vwmk1]

You need to bring that to Europe once its finished :)

[@JohnLudwick]

I would love to!

[@arupalaka9090]

It's a crazy damn low man, 15" wheels are way much better than 16" with that extreme body drop

[@chrissaunders535]

Yes man

[@JohnLudwick]

Thanks Chris!

[@andersstou1]

My dad owns 1 that have been in the family for over 30 years. i didn´t even know they got to america. Do you have any information on when it got there?

[@chrislewis4830]

so why dont you extend the rear downwards to match the sills if you think it might look silly not matching???

[@GregoryBamber]

What do you do if the airbag system crashes out a couple of hundred miles from home.

[@watsom31]

Just wondering what brand welding machine you use.. ps cars awesome 👌

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you! Currently, for MIG, I am using an Eastwood 180, but hoping to add a PrimeWeld to the collection soon!

[@jonathanburnham627]

‘This is the lowest 1000SP in the world’….SAVAGE!!!!!!!

[@user-br1cm5gr7e]

Id literallly come work for you for FREE. just to learn.

[@JohnLudwick]

I really appreciate that! I feel like I’m still learning!

[@andreassvensson1038]

You ruined the whole car. but it seems that you have ruined alot of other cars already so why not....

[@JohnLudwick]

WHY NOT?!

[@daybraek9710]

would you prefer this or for the car to sit in a junkyard? this doesnt take away from the original vision when the car was designed, its art unto itself

[@blockpartyvintage1568]

He saved it from rotting to dust AND made it badass. Double W

[@Doggymcdoggy664]

Three hour video on welding two gussets in. Think you might need two years before you get to a avent. Boring

[@JohnLudwick]

It’s a 20min video, calm down now.

[@user-br1cm5gr7e]

@@JohnLudwick its a good video too. u always use nice transitions and music. fuck the haters.

[@Doggymcdoggy664]

@@JohnLudwick ye ye ye. Why would people want to watch welding flash for five mins. You don’t even know about green filters. We could see what you welding. Dam yacking on

[@aaroncottingham4048]

What are taking about? The video was great!

[@Doggymcdoggy664]

@@aaroncottingham4048 it was boring. Keep telling us it’s the only one in the world. Just build the Fxxxxx thing. Then brag. Then we have to look at welding flash for ten mins. He don’t know what a green filter is

[@rossohfond7679]

This car is looking insane 🤌🏼

[@wobjobs]

A 185/45 will give you the same sidewall height and stretched look on the 8” vs the 7” with a 165/50. I run this exact size on my MK1 Rabbit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6Wq514j8emnKssi=yvTqLOLDa_O-AE01
