A very RIVETING portion of the Single seater race car build!

On this episode we finish welding in the quarter panels and create the lower portion of the body with many rivets.

Neat little trick with the rubber hose on the drill bit. Haven't seen that before, and will try next time. Thanks for that.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Definitely saves the metal!

[@lipsharp]

I am so excited when you post a new video. Between the commentary, music, workmanship, editing I could go on and on. So fun to watch the progress on a cool project. Fan for life.

[@stevevermeulen7611]

Really coming together now! Love seeing all the updates and the work behind every stage. The car looks super cool, can't wait to see what you do with paint!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Steve, much appreciated

Another outstanding episode. Thanks for your awesome effort that you put into these. I wish I had the skills that you have. Cheers mate!!!!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Kevin! Much appreciated

[@stephenjewitt9009]

Like your work and pick up lots of ideas here and there. I have not quite started but working towards making a video series of building a 1934 woody wagon. I have everything there to build the body just working how it will be filmed and my tig welding skills and equipment. Keep up the good work.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Start the series! Would love to follow along most definitely!

[@frankboff8185]

I could not really see what you where thing off at the start of the body, but wow it looks incredible. Cannot wait for the next one.

Cheers Frank

[@Andre-Stone]

Greetings from South Africa. Again what an amazing video. Absolutely love watching your progress. Such an amazing skill and talent. Can’t believe how those separate pieces came together so seamlessly, to make such a beautiful body. Look forward to the next week. Keep them coming.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you Andre! Really appreciate the positive feed back!

[@andyd2806]

Those bottom subframe rails finish the body so well. You have some patience with the calendar going by you are still doing the build right, great to watch.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Can’t cut any corners. For now haha

[@justkartbuilds4710]

Great to watch your brain in action. It really highlights the importance of having the vision upfront, and then being flexible enough to deliver a consistent outcome as the build progresses. Lets hope those yabbies are done before Day 1 at Perko.

[@bennettscustomsco]

I just roll with the ideas and hope they turn out what I have pictured in my head haha

[@justkartbuilds4710]

Yeah for sure - you can almost make it up as you go as long as the overall vision is in place. Which it's clear you do. Loving this build - look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

[@joell439]

Looks amazing. Thanks for the drill bit bumper tip. I never saw that before and it is simply brilliant solution. 👍👍😎👍👍

such a bummer that Bonneville got rained out this year, we had no where near the Journey that your mates had. so disappointing! car is looking great, I cant believe the planishing hammer takes out that much distortion. great work!

Let me know!

[@jaimesan2609]

That auto is truly a work of art.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you Jaime

[@Wheel_Horse]

Another suggestion if I may... when you are welding sheet metal panels, "stitch weld" and keep an air hose in your reach. "Stitch weld, cool with air hose, move a few inches, repeat" Yes, it takes a bit longer but at the end of the day you won't have to deal with nearly as much warping of the panels.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Definitely something I do when mig welding or welding in an area where can can’t get to the back of, but in this case it’s actually better to do one pass and come back with the hammer and dolly

[@fourbanga1]

Looking killer mate ,it’s coming together!

Loved this episode content and music. 'Chase the chips / Remove the swarf', per a few British brain drain engineers I worked with in the Puget Sound, circa 1990's. These were their favorite sheet metal reminders.

[@TheTubeTube2]

It does look good, love the rivets!

I wish you were around in my day, could had you build some neat cars instead of the daggy ones available then. The racers coming along beautifully, love to see it racing!

[@tetepeb]

Please no elbow-blisters unless they are absolutly necessary for you too fit in the car, the exhaust will take care of that area for you and brake up that big flat place. Love this build, keep it up! Cheers from Oscar in Sweden.

[@bennettscustomsco]

That’s what I’ll do Oscar, I don’t think it needs them either

[@gkanderson92]

Great work on your “sub rail’. Funny how such a small part can have such a strong impact. How about a complimentary piece? Use the same idea for the upper perimeter strengthening structure you talk about doing.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Did think about it but I have an idea for Upolstery that will take care of that

[@tat255987]

Great look!

Have you checked to make sure there is room for the fuel tank and some sort of a seat. Looks like there may be some interfence with your back. Love the understated look.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Nope all mocked up. Fits perfect, even room for the matter too

[@bennettscustomsco]

Battery

[@JustinPaul1st]

Rivetting episode 😂😂😂my only area of concern is will water and moisture stand between the subframe gusset you created and the actual body...other than that you spot on mate...the rivet detail makes the body so period correct 👍👍👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

After it’s been primed and painted it will be sealed.

[@JustinPaul1st]

@@bennettscustomsco Good on you mate

[@WaxMeister]

Really nice work but, with your timeline, don't worry about the hood, you can do another after race day!

That’s right!

[@WaxMeister]

@@bennettscustomsco I thinks your racer is really, as they would have said back in the day... "bitchin'!"!

[@guypehaim1080]

I think that a leather-covered, padded coaming around the cockpit would look nice, sorta like a WWI fighter plane.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yeah it’s definitely on the cards forsure!

[@markgriffin4888]

You've got more patience than me 😆😆😆 Have you got your roadster body into Australia yet???

Not yet, still floating out there on the seas

[@melvindenny8962]

Should put in a roll bar like the Shelby Cobra, lot of the old racers had a simple bar to protect drivers head. Nobody plans on accidents. Peace

[@bennettscustomsco]

I’ll mock one up just like that and see what it looks like

[@stevewilliams2498]

Reference elbow blister. Best practice is to let function dictate form. If you need room for your elbows .. put in a blister.

[@bennettscustomsco]

I hear yeah! Will see how we go once the seat is in

[@MrLangleylad]

This is going to be killer … actually it already is . 👊🏻

[@gregjobson4844]

Excellent work again Jordan, the formed angle will be strong and keep the weight down at the same time. I personally wouldn't worry about the blisters unless you need the room inside, once the pipes are in place it will look the part. Any plans for a small wind deflector on the cowl ? Cheers

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yes I have a few different options I’ll try and see what looks better

[@charlesbutler4755]

well side blisters could be the answer for 2 problem , one is arm room , but leave the fronts open and then they become air vents and you have a little bit of air conditioning relief since you will be straddling the engine .

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yes this is what I was thinking aswell, but we will see what it looks like with the pipe

[@helenehargreaves4024]

Beautiful!........steve,helene and fred the dog

[@steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796]

Metal is clay to quote Wray shaline You can hammer dolly out those wrinkles you may have to go a second round of shrinking You can get it smooth

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yeah I ended up getting a ton out which was nice!

[@donaldhalls2189]

Are you going to pie cut the frame and make it follow the body to a point where you could have a push bar horizontal in the middle,? it's looking excellent, can't wait, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@bennettscustomsco]

I actually like the straight, but a push bar will be happening

[@chrislewis4830]

it looks like its moving standing still its lookin bloody great mate. are you going mount the body on leather to remove the vibration?

[@bry3500]

Terrific work Jordan - love the Canuck /Aussie accent. What colour paint are you thinking?

[@bennettscustomsco]

Hahah! I’m not sure but an early dark maroon or burgundy

[@laszloditelyan4127]

The shrinker tucks that agressive, because the gaps of the dies are in line. Try to turn one, so the gaps faces the opposite dies flat jaws.

[@johnjason7204]

Have you built an inside skeleton to support the body and floor yet?

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yes and no, starting too

Hello, you have a coca cola sign in the background with Rogers tyre service, Kununurra, Kununurra is in the northern tip of Western Australia, how did you come across that 😀

[@bennettscustomsco]

Was used as a cover for something down the street, had to save it and traded them a trap.

[@worldsbestwatcher3735]

I think there needs to be transition radius pieces at the intersection of the hood and side panels at the front and rear of the engine "window" . The sharp, 90 degree angles do not match the contour and curves of the car. I wish I could explain it better. Good luck. 👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

I think I know what you mean. I will see what ideas I can come up with for that.

[@worldsbestwatcher3735]

@@bennettscustomsco Maybe a complete panel insert (on each side) with a cutout having the radiused internal corners. The cutout would allow a clean exit for your headers (zoomies? haha) but still provide a good view of the engine. Maybe have some rolled horizontal lines that would match existing lines on the main chasis. Hmm.. I suspect you already have something like that in mind. Whatever you do, I'm sure it'll look great.

[@65cj55]

Looking real good, you're very meticulous.

Just a suggestion... turn the music down to the same level as your voice. Kind of a pain to keep hitting the volume control! Nice work though!

[@williammurfin6354]

Drill bit stuff = swarf!!!!!! With that strip set up it would look nice having a floor pan connecting to that which would lock the body creating a single tub format then with 6 bolt points or so the body could fix down to your chassis. Just saying.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yup definitely an option

[@kurtludwig6962]

No I think the rivets on spring enforcement looks great with all the body rivets, not too busy
