C6 Corvette competition drift build. body panels and interior

[@thomascampbell6517]

Can we take a moment and appreciate Josue because he has been a giant help on this build.

[@troyallen4760]

Josue the real MVP

[@mannydelacruz1839]

Ohh Yall still here for Taylor i been here for Josue 😂. Im kidding keep up the great work guys yall putting in alotta work also taylor your miata seat belts are passed there date just fyi i dont know if you have that on your list.

[@trevort4286]

If I could hit the thumbs up button twice to that comment I would

[@charlestorruella8591]

ya he was a great addition to his channel although he needs to speak up a bit we want to here him too

[@Intellistan]

Josue out here puttin' in expert work like a boss

[@bigbeard134]

Bro hell ya I needed something to watch , then I see your name pop up about the c6 let’s gooooo 💯💯🤣 happy Easter boys 🤙

[@kazihossain1370]

Same here happy easter yall

[@Matty.Hill_87]

You and Josue make a amazing team, you guys are smashing this thing out quick

[@charlestorruella8591]

agreed they need need matching shirts at clutch kickers after all they are a team

[@JS-.-]

I’ll say it every video….best KZbin car series going on right now!!!!

[@beratsbuilds]

Idea for the rocker panels: you might want to put some foam tape at the contact patch to the chassis to avoid them rattling.

[@rickhawkins8671]

Seriously perfect timing.... 8am with a coffee, monday morning in sunny Australia and T Ray time.... yeah boi!

[@rkskidz]

6pm on Sunday for me lol

[@jesseshort8]

5 p.m. here. Where are you from Rick?

[@UncleSpool]

1. Relief cuts for radius cuts. 2. Look up blue layout fluid and how to use it, you'll get much more precise markings on metal. Kick-ass build so far!

[@jesseshort8]

Blue Sharpie works just like dykem in a pinch.

[@JayGarcia303]

I see machinist using this product, good suggestion

[@cj15941]

Dykem is the layout fluid. Or at least the brand name that’s easiest to find

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Sharpie works just as well, just cover the area like you would with machinist blue and then scribe in your marking where you need them

[@charlestorruella8591]

ya he uses the dye alot I've seen him use it but rather then getting that shit all over the place cause it does get on everything a sharpie works just as good but he knows how to use dye but good post anyways

[@ntc3gtr]

The way you’ve handled this build is beautiful.. there isn’t a page unturned, you’ve came up with anything and everything that’ll make damages repairs and changing out parts on the fly all covered in the design of this build.. keep up the work, he’ll yea brother.

[@NoWr2Run]

Amazing & You have a GREAT FRIEND helping you, Prop's to him for all his help & time.

[@crazymike401]

I can do anything solo but life is so much better when you have a road dog to help with a project or a hard days work. I think all Taylor’s friends have been so cool from Marcos, to fez, to Ben, and now Jose

[@NoWr2Run]

@@crazymike401 100%

[@pdxmix]

Love that so many people think Taylor doesn’t know about a pull type master, and miss that he says he doesn’t want the lines routed so far through the cabin. 😂 One suggestion though is you might want to get copper for a backing plate. We usually use copper or the disposable ceramic stuff, but a chunks of copper or brass does as good as the ceramic, and lasts a lifetime. My only concern about aluminum is being aware that aluminum and stainless both off-gas toxins when you weld on them. I don’t wear a respirator either, but it’s good to avoid breathing more of that stuff than you have to.

[@draggonhedd]

Hey Taylor, What ever happened to those white delrin and aluminum honeycomb handbrake levers a fan made for you a couple years back? Maybe see if one of those will fit in the vette?

[@joegosselin2888]

Like and comment on this comment so Taylor sees it

[@MrBassbump]

Did you send them?

[@draggonhedd]

@@MrBassbump nope

[@MrBassbump]

@@draggonhedd 👍 they sound like they would work great on his seat up. Hopefully Taylor reads your comment and remembers where they are. If he has them? Great suggestion

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I don't know if they'd work, but that honeycomb one sounds like it would look amazing

[@zandisme]

You should paint that handle to match the cage! Great to watch as always. Loving the voice over, too!

[@charlestorruella8591]

should paint the body the same as the interior and add the color form the cage to any and all brackets in the engine bay and yes the brake lever as well that would look fire

[@Sleepless_98]

Imma be honest, I never watch content like this that is so long , but for some reason I enjoy this series , like the video feels like 15 mins instead of like 45 mins

[@jacksonianc]

Absolutely love the build and the content. FWIW I much prefer narration over the time lapses rather than tool sounds. 👍

[@kmanchristopher1741]

I believe that drift hq has a handbrake with the master facing the front of the car if that would work better for you than the remote mount

[@StanleyKubick1]

mounting it facing forward and flipping the pull mechanism is pretty easy too

[@TheMrskateTV]

Donut media installed a handbrake with a push and pull configuration on the E36, u just choose what u need for ur setup, definitely would be a nice thing for Taylor, cuz he could put the master cilinder facing the front!

[@skateecho]

Ohhh man! The vette is looking snazzy Taylor! Very excited to see panels on it and looking like a car! Really dig the seats, that interior is going to be nice and dialed. Loved how it’s coming along!

[@jamest5149]

There was a lot of flex in the handbrake even with out the master cylinder to provide resistance … you should add some more bracing in the tunnel under the gear leaver plate. Watch the video at about @29:00 minutes mark wobbles like a wet noodle 👍

[@Taylordrifts]

I added a 3rd bolt and it’s fine.

[@TheRealAaronWitchey]

This is great Railer Tay.....it's finally starting to look like a Fox body Nissan again!

[@driftroyal]

Absolutely loving this build series, going to be so sick watching this thing ripping on the banks! Happy Easter as well! Keep at it 🔥

[@brandoncrile4019]

When you get done with this build please do a video like you did with the miata showing the whole build in a hour video or so. love the content. keep it up.

[@bradlesdamain]

Taylor you should run a reverse mount handbrake, it would solve all the fiment and spacing issue and be really clean doing it

[@rapidstyle-driftteam6654]

Loving this build. The time you’re putting in to reach the quality that you’re after is inspiring! 👍🙌

[@MonkeyFabGarage]

Small parts, when you’re not in a rush, can be left in vinegar (just the reg white vinegar you get at the grocery store) over night, and the scale will just rinse off with water. I just keep a small plastic tub of it. Looking good sir

[@thomascampbell6517]

Great timing just sat down to eat left over Easter dinner an now gonna enjoy one of my favorite KZbinrs videos. Gonna be pretty good night. Taylor this cars coming out amazing.

[@timothycollins1334]

Definitely enjoying the progress with the vet build along with all the other builds

[@tjgreen4417]

All your builds are awesome to follow along to, but this one has me really stoked. It always seemed at events, you were battling against cars that had you out gunned, an you always have done more with less. This build should level the playing field abit. I can't wait to see you ripping this beast!!

[@markthompson2440]

Love the build videos of this car can't wait to see you win another Clutch Kickers steering wheel trophy.....

[@loluracing]

This is my favorite build right now. I can't wait to see you rip this thing.

[@nickgibson1191]

I can't wait to see this in action .. most anticipated build on you tube by far in my eyes

[@anomamos9095]

Tip If you need to keep panels from vibrating or moving around or set gaps etc Use some RTV and food wrap film. Put a blob of RTV where you need it put the film over it then put the panel on . You can put a blob of RTV on the panel too to make it stick slightly.

[@DAPerform]

Dang dude kudos to you guys for knocking this thing out, huge progress since you got the new chassis

[@charliechristian1097]

If you buy a Bridgeport you can literally prototype and mill your own custom billet fixtures.... you can use the digital positioning readout to measure your hole position on the table. Hand drilling holes is "good enough for the girls were going for" as the construction guys say but getting not just a drill press but an industrial milling machine would take your fab game over 9000.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Get a bent shifter arm that angles it back towards your and you'll be comfy in there with the seat all the way back

[@ajmartinez4929]

Loving the progress Taylor! Can’t wait for the end result

[@ktmkilljoy]

One of my favorite channels, have come a long way from the red miata i remember from 5 years ago! this build is going to be awesome.

[@Hitman2679]

Takae Monarisu - one of the most renowned drifters in the mountains of Japan - once said "Care not for how prestine and perfect your drift car is, for it is certain to hurt you immensely when you crash or break it"

[@felixpalacios4461]

Cant wait to see the final product. All your hard work is going to pay off

[@reidpowers3932]

It is crazy you don't realize how much you use a drill press until you have one lol somehow I use it like 3 or 4 times a day now lol great build bud stay up🤙

[@reverendroger]

On your trans cover you could lay vinyl on tunnel and then get all your gaps real tight with jb weld. Then sand it smooth and paint.

[@JeffSlover]

She's going to look good, can't wait to see it at the FF! If you decide to order spares for the front and rear fenders don't forget that the Z06 fenders are wider then stock. I am not sure how much wider, but the extra width is what everyone always talks about with the Z06.

[@drewanderson8279]

I love this build. You do a great job with a quick break down of every step. It's easy to follow along and understand what your doing and what's going through your head weather it's wrong or right you still share it. Just great content!

[@NovaRedHead]

Oh goodie. TRay vette build, day is complete

[@All_Dead_In_Shimoda]

Coming along now mate, those seats are sick.

[@Sarogus]

Taylor can't wait till the interior is all painted, I can't wait for the next episode to drop. It's a struggle

[@Harold_That_Guy]

Dude, you guys are kicking ass on this build. Taylor you're going to be an even bigger threat this season.

[@danielhigley8543]

I'm absolutely loving this build.... just a thought, a 30° bent shift lever may help improve your reach to the shifter... I know you said you were at the threshold of it being possibly to far of a reach.... like I said, just a thought.

[@royfcjr]

All the grinding drilling bits on the new seat.

[@neckcrank2663]

You could mount the master in front of the handle with two flat-bars running forward from the handle to the rod end pulling it back rather than a rod pushing it back where your arm rests.

[@rodaj687]

Flip the handbrake outputs and point them down. You could put the remote under the tunnel.

[@husky701rider9]

Thank you Taylor. I need to fill my AirPods with content during this Easter Sunday family gathering.

[@pieterv6984]

Now the progress goes quickly. One thing I noticed; Your handbrake still moves a bit laterally. The mounting bracket is stiff enough, but where you mounted that to the transtunnel is basically an un-stiff plate. That may become an issue. Not for failure, but for the feel of the handbrake while using it.

[@AddictionAuto]

Hey some tips on that Astro Rivnut tool, clutch your drill to the point just above the clutch engages. You want it to clutch a little, but you literally just give her the beans and it should compress and reverse in one full pull. I sell/use these and they’re great, they like the sauce with a little clutching. The builds looking badass, keep it up!

[@davidblanck4131]

I know you love the build process possibly more than the driving process with some of your builds. But, I can't wait to see this one done. Definitely on crunch time. Good luck! I know you can get it done though. Great work good sir!

[@marknixon5958]

Your car is going to look clean

[@410Alec]

You should put some clear PPF wrap around the cage so youre not scratching the paint off every time you get in and out.

[@niteriderevo9179]

think he's already done basically that

[@ootiminatoroo421]

Remote mount the e brake reservoir in front of the handle! It will give you WAY more elbow room!!!

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Some very nice progress guys. Regards, Nico.

[@treken]

Love following this build and seeing the progress. Your fab skills are satisfying to witness haha.

[@Trueblue253]

So much fun watching this car come to life

[@thomascampione8866]

I feel like you should build the vet with a targa top, just to have that extra cool thing

[@olajimimark]

Literally get excited every time I see an upload on this build!

[@ohighogrown]

I look forward to all these videos!!!!!! Gonna be an awesome drift car!!!!

[@normnielsen]

Yeah, this is an amazing build. The quality of the components and the intended use all add up to an awesome journey to be a part of.

[@trevort4286]

The drill press will be just like the belt grinder once you have it you will wonder how you lived so long without one

[@dylanfishback5805]

On the handbrake you can unbolt the master and flip it upside down so the lines aren’t in your way coming from the top

[@mattu.8062]

Can’t wait to see you shredding this beast

[@joshehman3571]

i feel like that drill press comment was for me! thanks :)

[@82leone]

Man I love the blue colour 😎👍 I know you are probably not going to run that colour but I think it looks cool especially with the grey and red 😍

[@watahyahknow]

you can bend the shifter close the where it hooks up to the linkage that way it will come closer and more toward you so its no reach to shift intoo 3 and 5 as for the handbrake , looks like theres enough space in the trans tunnel ti have the hydraulics under the coverplate

[@d_k_n]

ASD sells a reverse mount hydro. Keeps everything out of your elbow area and you can hide a remote reservoir under the dash.

[@caseybielec25]

I don’t know why but I like this color combo

[@s_t_vn5508]

Absolutely loving this build

[@zacharyprosper88]

Hell yeah brother it's Finally Time to Shine

[@PascalVos]

@taylor your mate is coming in clutch again what a trooper ! Loving the build, so nice to watch cause of the progress in every video!

[@Mikey-jm3dc]

Skip the drill press and get a Bridgeport, so many more possibilities

[@roinealenius]

I wish I could binge watch the whole build right now :)

[@jasonwillcox8635]

Hey Taylor, I'm not positive but I think you might want to reinforce the plate between the hand brake and shifter. The piece in the middle bends, see it at 29:00 - 29:04 in the video

[@justin-sane713]

It’s looking really good! Very exciting to see it look like a car again. Lots to do yet, so the body panels/ cockpit makes a good booster of motivation. Good Job Guys!

[@Scott-Tim]

Sooo Nasty!!! can’t wait to see the dry sump/fuel lines in the chassis. Keep up the good work.

[@ectobluntus]

Not to mention plumbing the radiator all the way in the back. That'll be interesting!

[@mrwhite7222]

was literally about to comment about you drilling over those sick new seats lol

[@ebay2291]

Wow will you just look at it (cant wait to see you driving it)

[@mckrackin5324]

Good bits mean the world. I needed five 1 1/2" holes in some 1/4" steel plates so I ordered a decent hole saw. I was skeptical but it was money well spent. The fifth hole took 9 seconds. I was afraid I'd need more than one saw to finish but I finished with a hole saw I can still use for a future project. It was a $40 saw but worth every penny. The five holes paid for it. It owes me nothing from here on out. lol By the way, you be surprised how many tools I've bought because of your videos. Appreciate it.

[@SkylineLynar]

Was just thinking how I wanted another Taylor vid, ask and you shall receive apparently 👌

[@rickymitchell2014]

I like the gray and burgundy combination but it’s hard not to love that blue on the corvette

[@jeraldhite9744]

Your work is Top Tier!

[@JasonDias]

I feel like a rod of that length will flex and introduce some inconsistency in feel. Perhaps you can consider a cantilever mechanism and mount the cylinder vertically in the tunnel, thus maintaining a firm feel. OR you can weld another tab off the bottom of the lever, remake the mounts higher, and mount the cylinder on the firewall side.

[@skipman8yard]

Great progress Taylor looking great 👍👍👍🏴‍☠️

[@tannersorgenfrey7566]

Love your videos especially this series, I'm excited for another one of your well built machines. You're gonna rip it in the drift vette

[@danielniemeier2061]

You need some sort of positive locking for that handbrake pivot bolt, nylock safety wire, etc

[@carlosleandry12]

Taylor, add a receiver hitch so in the event yo ever go to drift week you can tow a trailer with supplies

[@Don_Johnson521]

Happy Easter what a treat to get a video

[@ryanbyrd5.0]

been hoping all day to see a post! 🤟🏼

[@avassolo3]

I cant wait to see this thing rip. I cant even imagine how excited you are! Hope you're doing well Taylor thanks for sharing.

[@sosamontana3719]

Can't wait to see the final build

[@kevincrawford6864]

Corvette is coming together super fast. At this rate it will be done in a month.

[@stevecompton7511]

Coming together real nice. Can't wait to see you slide ways around a track

[@GSMMW]

Thanks Taylor.

[@r3drocket659]

Car is coming along awesomely! I love watching the videos on this car. I also really dig the longer videos too, I could watch an hour long video of you doing shit to this thing. Keep up the good work!

[@blingspsycho]

I’m excited to see this come alive and shred! Keep them coming.

[@johnmoore8800]

Very cool, this Vette is going to be an absolute beast. Great job! Can't wait to see you rippin around and winning on the track!

[@RooBiKzGB]

Paint the handbrake to match the cage. Mirror finish new and improved lol
