“Shroud and Proud” Built Not Bought #27

Who knew Bucky was also a master cad designer “cardboard aided design”

[@joshgotter4922]

May aswell hit that wrx swap if you can

[@Reaper_064]

Bucky has clearly been inspired by Project Binky.

I'm impressed how resourceful this guy is.

Swap it. We need another build series. I watched the whole bucket series when i was sick. It really mad that time bearable. Keep up the awesome work. My daughter and i watch all of them. Now she wants us to start a channel of us working on our project car and out dailys. Thank you for the great entertainment.

David Lewis That’s awesome, hope she doesn’t mind a bad word here and there 😬

never thought one of my favorite skaters would be basically teaching me how to mod out my subaru... BUCK YEAH.

[@Tameless281]

This channel has quickly become one of my favorites

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Charlie Johnston Thats Rad to hear!!! 👊🏼😎

[@TheRobmuise]

Same here

[@PedroFTeixeira]

I can't wait for the Cusco install video. Because I know how it affects the car, I'm very curious about Buckys reaction. That front H brace and rear ARB transform the car.

[@CanaRollcreations]

By far the best channel. Love what Buckey does with his cars

[@GunsmithBeard]

BUCKYEAH addictive-like watching entire seasons on NetFlix ...then bitchin when you have watched every video. Totally agree!

[@gpeaes]

No better feeling than completing a custom job like this, knowing it couldn't have came out any more perfectly... Nice one, Bucky!

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

You might consider putting a cool open-air canopy over the work area. It will make for an awesome working experience

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Nice job fabricating the intercooler shrowd, Built Not Bought ☮️

[@joshstancil1455]

Man I have to hands down give you props, you have done more DIY on this car without having to if you didn't wanna then majority of Subaru owners period. BUT you did it because you actually wanted to. This is what made Subaru Subaru for me. The community honestly needs more people like you!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Josh Stancil Thank you for the kind words🙏🏻❤️

[@ConnerSpeed6]

That thing you said at 15:55... I felt that... LOL! Nice work, man. Love how much time and effort you put into your love.

[@MrLangleylad]

Nicely done Bucky ! , it may have taken a while but your free time is free time !

[@McBake]

So much respect to this man. He could pay to have this done. But he truly loves the craft. Your the man Buck!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

McBake Thanks

[@luisdesototorres5440]

Bucky you should make the wrx swapped. This way we can see the difference between the two cars one for the street and one for the track.

[@GunsmithBeard]

Awesome video, sick mod. WRX Swap would be DOPE.

Built is always better than bought because it's done your way and fits way better. Keep Creating your changing the world.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Surfer Sandman Thanks and I know, big time. I need to get some better tools!

[@c2st403]

Nice job on shroud. Make sure to clear coat cusco underbrace as they get abrasion from all thr road dirt and easily get rusted out. Having them clearcoat at least so you can protect the paint and have them last much longer in general

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Bruce Jung Good to know

[@josecruz8803]

I want to do another STi swap so bad! I've had 3 Supra's (one 3rd gen and two 4th gens), and even a 2013 Camaro SS; I still havent had as much fun with a car as my rSTi. I did my first one back in 2008 when I was stationed in SoCal. I'll admit I bought the stage 2 racing short block from Crawford Performance, but everything else was custom built or an STi product under the hood. But when I brought it home to New England it never performed the same. It became very unreliable. Up here I didn't have my own garage or even driveway. I also didn't have the money I used to. All I was able to do was regular maintenance. I ended up having to give it up for something more reliable 😥. But I have a chance to build one again, and this channel has inspired me to do it. Thanks Buck!!

Your videos made me want to buy myself a 2door GC8. Looking for one from Japan to import in Europe. Just need to save a couple more months.. Amazing videos, you deserve a lot more attention.

little bit of weather strip around the top for a good seal and your set. plus it hides little imperfections .

[@bradpittiful7288]

nice job...very enjoyable watching you fabricate parts for the bucket!...if you are referring to the blue RS and swapping a WRX motor...i say no...keep it original...if you mean the silver 4 door...swap the WRX motor in it (if thats also yours)

I have a 2015 STi TMIC on my bugeye.. looks like the same one. Def gonna make one of these!! Thanks Buck!

[@coolstuffwithsteve6155]

Wow, a childhood hero working on the same model car as me! I also started with an L but I got lucky and found a very clean white one (my favorite GC color) from Arizona. Just finished the wire merge by myself, now gotta get an engine and trans. Keep inspiring Bucky, it's really cool for us to see you innovate and develop your car. And yeah you should totally wrx swap that RS

[@dbass1961]

Turned out nice dude, I have replaced headgaskets on na subies without pulling the motor, jack up the motor with block of wood under the pan and push it over to one side. But ya wrx engine would be best

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

D Bass Yeah, yeah I know but it’s not ideal to do it that way plus I may as well replace the clutch.

[@metalthing1]

Good job man

Metalthing fab 👊🏼😎

[@MR-gl1fs]

Kinda funny. Did same thing on my Subaru powered sand rail. Had a cardboard scoop until I had the metal one made. Takes time 😀

[@txruns7229]

I think it would be cool to do a closed deck conversion on a 2.5RS block.

[@edisonyann3122]

Thanks for posting up your build. It is very inspiring and to see someone work with companies to continue to bring mods for our car. I got into an accident and my car was totaled out but most of it is in decent condition. It was a salvaged title to begin with. I hope to continue to follow your build and rebuild one of my own some day when the time is right. I also worked with Brian(Iwire) great guy and Frank from Prolific Autosports. Also to be honest your videos are the perfect length although I know it doesn’t show all the time and sweat you put into the build. Keep up the great work and just wanted to say Thank you

I hadn't previously noticed your duct on the passenger's side of your hood. Last few days I have been considering installing a dbl naca in that area after seeing a video, pre-corona, of a factory sponsored team's under hood ducting.
