I am so glad you guys finally got your tubes tied.

[@nuclearmedicineman6270]

About time. The way they've been pounding away you know an accident would have been just a matter of time. It's always good to be safe.

I'm in Australia and every Sunday morning I make a coffee and sit down to watch these episodes. It makes my day. Thanks guys!

[@MichaelBLevi]

I have safety wire and solder that I inherited from my grandfather... I didn't know it could run out. On a side note, I know for a fact that my Gramps would enjoy watching you guys build this car with your hands. Keep up the amazing work guys🤘

Episode 47: The Guys get Their Tubes Tied

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

@@Spangarangg 🤣🤣🤣

[@liquidfred]

I'm at a loss for words, it's looking insane. Sick to see it all come together.

[@cycoholic]

To help visualize the shape better, get some 4 way stretch lycra, lay it over the wire frame and clamp it in place, stretching the lycra taught. Step back and check how it flows (or doesn't), and take photos so you can get a different perspective.

[@matchboxoffice1989]

Great episode and it felt like huge progress was made this week too. The back end is really starting to take shape and is looking so good. 😎

[@1shed]

I love that we get to see the coachworking side of things, including the finessing of ideas - the scale model is good, but as you're finding, it doesn't always scale up, and there's always room for improvement. It's looking fantastic now - it's starting to look very much like a blend of American muscle with European flair and beauty (a bit like your shop then?). I can't wait to see how the wire frame lines translate into solid panels. As for Aluminium vs Aluminum, as a brit I'll go with the former, but accept that our cousins say it differently. It's refreshing that you say it interchangeably - i feel somehow more included! 😂

[@nic_actual]

You should totally do the 3D printed rear lights held in space like you did with the front lights - will give a good idea of what right and... well.. what isnt!! Keep it up lads, such a rad series

[@Pete_Re_Pete]

Only found this channel about a month ago. One of my favourites. You guy's just have a perfect blend. Educating and entertaining.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

@@Pete_Re_Pete appreciate it! 👍🏻

[@Pete_Re_Pete]

@@CrucibleCoachworks I'm in Australia so I love when you use metric. Videos feel smoother since adding a camera person. Looking forward to watching more.

[@suecobandito8954]

Hemostats are the clamps you used for the 24mm pieces. Also great for turning chicken on the grille plus handy in the operating room.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

They’re so handy to have!

[@cycoholic]

Also handy for clamping off small rubber tubes to stop fluid leaking (such as a fuel line). Don't ask how I know. 😂

[@JonFukuda]

The welding rod work in the tail was CLUTCH!!! I can totally see the nuanced sweep in the body line now, the whole body is Fire AF!🔥🔥🔥Cant wait to see the skin go on!

[@emanuelseehawer2612]

Yesss from a somewhat unfinished bugatti chiron to a lotus elise 🔥🔥🔥 bugatti should have kept working on that rear end too

[@alman-world]

Cooking with the skin on. So they say.

[@matfan81]

Man that back end is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see how the decklid transitions into the spoiler and tail lights.

[@jungleboytman7695]

You guys are so underrated! I would love to see you work with fiberglass. I could use the technical skills from you two right about now as I’m building my body kit

[@alman-world]

Dynamite. One of the best builds on YT !!!! STILL !

[@GooseGosselin]

Loving the rear lines, kudos to the camera guy to! Thank you Gentlemen.

[@corneneethling2277]

Saw this sectioned video on Fb in my suggested video feed. Came and searched for the project and watched from the begining. Looks really good so far

[@zzzires5045]

Tape some paper to that wire frame, help you visualise the panels flow

[@KM-uw4ez]

That’s great idea!

[@MrGerd]

This yellow car render from first seconds of video is sick.🎉

[@EternalGamingNet]

Why do I feel like Ryan likes the smell of burning cardboard 😂 Joking aside that backend is looking great!

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

It’s true. He does.

[@aka_king1001]

Jigsaw is coming along awesome i had some trouble picturing the back end coming together but after the tig rode structure. Man i cant wait to see it in sheet metal much love to you guys keep on putting the work in its for sure worth it.

[@chrismichaelyoung]

Wireframe looks nice, I like the staggered headlight sizes

[@MuShinnen]

Morning everybody. Looking forward to this week's progress.

[@KM-uw4ez]

I wasn’t really on board with this project when they first started but now I look forward to it every Saturday! Looks great guys! I’m sold.

[@MikeSchmidt-qt7ls]

So amazing to watch people who have a craft and are so great at it.

[@Keasbeysknight]

I'd love to see you guys make your own headlights and taillights. It's definitely something that's lacking as a resource on KZbin.

[@rivenmotors7981]

Great episode guys engaging, enjoyable, and productive.

[@s13Marino]

The change looks great!

[@bonovoxel7527]

OOOh finally a new Crucible's Jigsaw Project video. The weekend might begin. :)

[@Foopuh]

I cannot wait for the finished product

[@grrvaes]

that indeed looks AWESOME.

[@philippstersekanowski1602]

Great looking backend! 🤌👌

[@howellroberts3613]

My all-time favourite car is the ferrari 288 gto, the reason I mentioned this is the gearbox end plate is on show, showing the oversizded engine and gearbox barely fitting under the sexy little body. You should definitely do this. And its aluminium 😊

[@Terrycrackcorn]

No, thank you for letting us hang out in the shop with you!!

[@johnbarker5009]

That looks SICK.

[@diegom3250]

It’s looking great! Thank you for sharing!

[@goliathstanggt5004]

I’m late and haven’t read the comments yet but the rear end is giving pagani utopia and I like it!

[@ryansequeira7938]

yup that rear end is gonna look awesome.

[@VF1Skullangel]

looks great! I'm enjoying this build!

[@dankoneon]

Like a 928 a Pantera and countach tossed in a blender with a dash of gt40. This is gonna badass

[@myurcek05]

Love the change!!!

[@JOY-CABRERA]

Love the video if possible make the videos longer and I can’t wait to see the finished result

[@troyumlauf3589]

Use a smaller tig cup it stops the arc wondering, will improve your welding, love the project

[@TheWeatherLightCafe]

Love the staggered lights!!

[@robco6997]

You guys really need to paint it the gold colour in your graphic renders it will be gorgeous.

[@ramboplaysm14]

Jigsaw is looking good, I can see where you guys are going it it

[@Sirspeedystevie]

Man I’m loving all the new lines and shapes.. great job guys. 🥳

[@commonsense7754]

8:07 safety squint engage. 😂

[@carbongecko]

Great job as always, love the concept of the spoiler really curious how you will complete it

[@HokiePE]

Ryan got his tubes tied . . . how did you miss a layup like that Tony?!

You really had me puzzled with the aluminium/aluminum back and forth over the episodes - thanks for explaining (and please keep using the proper way *with* the second "i" in there).

[@chrisettenberger3190]

I like it. This car is going to be awesome! Thank you for the videos!

[@tomschultz2833]

Great CAD work 😂( cardboard assisted design)

[@LoneRevD]

Looks amazing you can finally see the shape in the rear, its going to be really good. Triactin GT is coming together lol... 🤣

[@OzGecko]

Loving the Jigsaw series guys - it's my Saturday night regular watch here in Australia. I've been building my own car from scratch for a while now ( I'm currently about 18 years into a 5 year build plan 😮) and one of the big considerations here is compliance for road registration. What's the regime you need to confirm to, if any? I.e. to my eyes, those tailights may be too far inboard to meet the regs. But, does that even matter for you?

[@joshneslen7154]

Aluminum welding is hard even for professionals. Definitely invest in a thumb controller so you can manage your heat output without breaking the arc

[@AlexSwavely]

I think a big part of the issue with the rear hoop sag is, the others have standoffs but it's just dangling on it's own... It'll bend from its own weight if you let it.

[@dcallan812]

last thing you want is a saggy rear end. great update 👍

[@davidfink4963]

Looks better than the model. You guys are awesome.

[@garvitchaudhary1]

Guys make sure to double weld tge aluminium, from both sides. Use blunt grinder blade to make a clean line so that the filler meets the weld on the other side. Great work tho, Looking forward to it being completed❤❤❤

[@vkoloskov]

Crazy awesome work

[@alanwhitehurst2576]

Awesome guy's ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jonivanart]

Very cool series! 👏👏 Why not add a tab to match the jig in the rear where it makes a sharp drop/rise (it is upside down in the jig 🤷‍♂️) while it’s in the jig?

[@tomcoryell]

I drink hot coffee on hot days. You will too when you’re old Ryan!

[@MrThestevster]

The elevator music on this episode is unironically great.

[@A2zlightwheels]

Time stamp 16:45 The emperor's groove is thrown off. * *The emperor should continue taking his tryactin

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

🤣🤣🤣

[@badledgend1172]

Hoping you throw on some long sleeves/UV protection in general when you start doing the long aluminum welds (again) so you don't look like a day at the beach.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Will do!

[@swakage13x]

Yeah we're talking about making your own tail lights you literally just need to 3D print the size you want and the design you get some casting silicone and clear epoxy resin and then some led strips to go inside it inspired by 60s supercars does not mean you have to use only technology from back then, and the fact that you can get dyes for those resins you could just do white LEDs inside the red orange and white resins and use a style similar to the ones that are found on the R32 skyline it's a red ring around a white circle and the white part has an orange light on it as well as a regular white light for turning signals

[@417crow]

Hi guys, loving the jigsaw build. Query: with the sentimental value attached to the engine, does that mean you will be keeping the finished car? Or will there be an auction?

[@evoluke1069]

Tony said it perfect at one point. It's pronounced al-you-mini-yum

[@VunjasAznavur]

Head lights in Ferrari Dino style, like on the render, look really good

[@dennisatkinson22]

I love what you guys are doing, but I'm not totally sold on the rear end. Maybe I'm not understanding, but I'm really not a big fan of the rear body just rolling up in a swoop to the tail lights panel. To me it looks a little like a Pantera's rear, which I always thought looked unfinished. But what do I know. Love the channel, a great way to start my Saturday mornings.

[@wrexz]

I think it needs a little bit of a duck tail in the back or a gurney flap

[@tomcoryell]

Great job to camera person!

[@frankiewalnuts]

Refreshing seeing an American engineering firm use milimeters for precision engineering... Blows my mind when I watch videos and the guy is like 2 345ths of an inch high

[@SBS_Auto]

Pringles do not contain any potatoes. They legally cant call them chips. They're classified as 'crisps' because they're solely made of a synthetic material coined "dried potatoes," which actually is not derived from any organic material.

[@johnlist9054]

Looks outstanding. I know the car is a "60s" theme, but I don't care...I'd drive it

[@larryplays7553]

i want to see what the handling is like with the big v8 in the back of the boxster

[@roymccomb8749]

Where can I get a pair of those rubber welding gloves? Car looks great guys!

[@princeahnanonu1709]

I think the tail light look a little to small but really love the project I’m planning on starting my own

[@davidwalters4014]

Please expose the gearbox in the rear! No sense in hiding that beauty!

[@czadik74]

I’m not sure about the spoiler, the rest looks just amazing

[@FranciscoVázquez-b2y]

when you finish this project, could you 3d scan it and upload it?

[@mattconnor6779]

Taillight idea: 1th gen Thunderbird taillights turned upside down.

[@steverichardson6920]

There are some great looking taillight’s it doesn’t make any sense to risk using some home made ones that look just that……home made IMHO 🤷🏼

[@joshneslen7154]

I also hate to inform you that more heat isn’t always the solution. Too much penetration in the weld region can and will lead to a weaker weld. Try and find a heat that’s in between where you have to heat it up for about two seconds and then start adding wire. The welds should be slightly domed on top whenever you’re finished.

[@HeathStallcup]

Just call it "60's INSPIRED". That covers you regardless.

[@PianoScottDeBoer]

The "arbitraium" - where the triactin is grown.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

The secret is out.

[@Tahu2323]

What type of wire is it you’re welding the template with? That looks like it’s real easy to work with

[@michaelsnelling2918]

is there any way you can scan the wire frame and skin it in CAD?

[@1one3_Racing]

Nice

[@TimboSlice1550]

This is probably a dumb question but if y'all are annealing all the aluminum tubing to make them soft then wouldn't tubing be too soft use as structure like you could lean on the car and the structure would just bend right?

[@dutysuper999]

Hello again 😍

[@dwayneattard5265]

Even though it is 1960's design, don't you have to have the light the same height as modern legal measurement so it can be road legal? Also are you going to add a 3rd light for trucks?

[@projectproject.jffjff3806]

Im glad the camera work is getting better! But maybe lessen the breather shots and more shots on the work done?

[@airplanyguy68]

You can say aluminium all you want. BUT, then you also have to say boot, spanner, pint, and wanker. :)

[@christophershafer5615]

Could you get some spandex type of fabric to visualize the body shape?

[@williamjarman7466]

I like the tail light but not sold on the spoiler or wing or whatever

[@troyaschebrock4673]

Why don't you use a commercially available 3 inch light and make a bezel to suit? I.e. turn a 1/2 inch bezel to make a 4 inch OD light trim
