Custom Aluminum Coachbuilding | Homemade Boat-tail Speedster Pt. 31

[@donstagg2364]

I ran into your channel yesterday and have binge watched the whole car series in one sitting. All I can say is WOW, please keep the excellent work.

[@fordilac]

Back in an other life time, I toyed with adding a '52 F1 hood as a boat tail on a '27 Ford 4door touring (front half) but never could get the proportions to look right. Young man I continue to be impressed with your talent and dedication. Truly my pleasure to sub and follow along.

[@westonward735]

You're really getting good with the english wheel. The car is coming along great. I always look forward to the next video.

[@MikeZyouthpastor]

Thanks so much. I completed my project using advice you have given me personally, and from your videos! Keep up the good work.

[@N-Scale]

I am always looking forward to seeing the progress on this little car ! Love it. Mike

[@jonjones4690]

Unbelievable, makes me wish I'd spent more time in shop class.....keep up the good work!

[@fynbo1007]

Amazing job you did there, love to follow your journey. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family

[@ethanmilgram2327]

Fantastic. Glad to see you back from school and pick up right where you left off! Gary

[@KODArunner]

As always, the MASTER BUILDER shows in your work! God bless and stay safe.

[@49walker44]

Your little boattail would make a great kit, with all the time and effort you put into it just organize the info and sell it for your next build. You do have the use of an outstanding shop most don't have access to but you have to start somewhere. keep it up.

[@carlholm5558]

Lovely to see the build taking shape now!

[@stevevinson6030]

Great job on that tail. That is probably the trickiest part to get right. Nice work.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

I can’t wait to see this thing finished and hear it running

[@gunner678]

Happy New Year! Good to see you! Fantastic job as usual! Have a nice break.

[@aussiejas6599]

I can watch this guy all day!

[@danielhughes9556]

As always, QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP. Your videos, and attention to detail never cease to amaze me. Looking forward to this thing being on the road...

[@NaveenKumar-oj7xh]

Well, this is coming along a lot faster than Project Binky with a lot less brackets. Great job.

[@guywilson187]

Great job. It's a joy to watch your projects. I know that making content takes time and hard work so I appreciate the effort you are putting in. Thanks for showing progress. Keep it up. 👍

[@dodgecoronet7544]

I love this car build. Your one in millions. Keep it up ...

[@edspencer7121]

Excellent work young man. That's going to be one slick little roadster when you're done!👍💖😎

[@RaymondOreFineArt]

Constantly amazed at the knowledge and skill levels on this channel

[@davidcraddock7011]

so good to see one of your videos, a lot of work to form those panels

[@craigcaggiano431]

Coming out with great precision.. looking forward to seeing you weld the three pieces of that boat tail together.

[@classicfords8171]

Good to see you back! The cars really coming along

[@revus5078]

nice to see you're back!

[@genegoodman5233]

I'm amazed at your ability and knowledge at your young age good work

[@Crewsy]

First. 😂🤣😂🤣 It’s really shaping up and the proportions seem spot on.

[@jayw900]

With downs.

[@daleskidmore1685]

That went by in an instant. Really amazing skill. This car is going to look fantastic. Keep on keeping on.

[@BlueWolf-zm3rg]

I’ve been here sense the tank and I’m not missing this and it’s looking good keep it up

[@mikemichaletz7041]

The secret to forming aluminum,is to do a low heat pass over the piece that you are going to work on,it changes the molecules in the state of the aluminum to make it much easier to work with.Jesse James taught that one to me!

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent progress!

[@jth1987leb]

I still want to see wheel arches over the front wheels. Maybe some headlights on them. Would be so cool because they’d move with the wheels and would keep road debris from hitting you.

[@akumabito2008]

Excellent job! You make it look so easy!

[@AJ-ri5ee]

Looking forward to the next one!

[@redwaller1]

Simply amazing, I was thinking about how you could join those three but I had imagined that welding would introduce too much warping, I look forward to next episode, always.

[@larryneyii2162]

Great video !!! If I was your dad I would be very proud of you !!! Keep up the good work !!!

[@pastalover21]

I’m happy to see your channel growing well, hope school is working out for yah

[@brydenal6319]

Killing it, What a form of beauty

[@davidgreen2442]

Its only an English wheel in the USA In England we just call it " A Wheel " very nice workmanship keep it going

[@MoondyneJoe]

Great to see a new episode each and every one is enjoyed immensely, I hope you and yours had a great Xmas and New year, A thought and suggestion for you as you said in this and other videos about the editing process and time it takes how about on the repetitive tasks like cutting out several pieces of metal and turning them into the finished product you only show the process once either leaving the second or 3rd etc time out allowing the viewer to get the point you made it 2,3 or more times just maybe showing the completed items before the next build process, ( a good example here is check out Rather B Welding, Chris's latest video) that will save you camera setups, repartition in editing giving you more time working on your vehicle and less time editing and more content in the long run I hope this gives you more time doing what you like and less time needed for editing Tony from Western Australia.

[@alanmorgan8647]

I'd second that suggestion but also add, it'd be nice to see at least some of each process at normal speed e.g. the beginning and end of shaping a panel at normal speed with the middle portion speeded up. I'm amazed at the skills you got for someone your age, it'd be easier to appreciate the processes at actual speed. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@motorunion]

So Cool "Prodigy Boy"...Welcome back!!

[@communismman1471]

This kids the flash beautiful job btw

[@chrisyea7049]

Fantastic work, well done

[@rossbuchanan7632]

Dude, you amaze and impress me. Constantly.

[@paulbull1993]

Fantastic as always. Enjoy your time in the shed inspiring me to spend time in mine. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jimcracketowens5319]

Looks beautiful so far my dude

[@afmajor322]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@RDALEHOUSTON]

just found this site, first thank you for sharing,2 well made videos,3 your doing a great job building & making this ride ,, you need a big clock so we know how long it takes you on the part we watching ,thanks for sharing i like to take a ride when it done,can i drive lol

[@Mishn0]

Amazing as usual. Are you going to fit a headrest/roll-over pillar behind the driver's seat? That might look cool especially if it's offset to the left to match the hump over the steering wheel.

[@85square]

Amazing skill

[@brucewrandol]

I like your project. I always wanted to learn how to use the English wheel.

[@mattinhessen7148]

Amazing job. Keep going. How anyone can post a "thumbs down" needs their brain examined...

[@fredericrike5974]

How is engineering school? You ought to be a shoe in! Thanks for finding the time to "entertain" us "internet people"!

[@damiansgaragebuilds7663]

Following on both! Good stuff!!

[@41plymouthnut87]

Looking Good!!!

[@tybriggs9880]

Should have a clock in the shot when you're doing the time lapse

[@HomeIdeasYT]

wow, you have a talent!

[@garyh3823]

Awesome dude!!! Thanks for the video

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Get yourself some Cleco fasteners. A must-have for sheet metal work.

[@grantlinscott9778]

Great Skills! busy watching the whole build! What is the white piece you form against on your stump? thx.

[@DJInclined]

Impressive for a beginner.

[@billstrahan4791]

Dude! Clecos! Just google "Clecos" and grab some along with the cleco pliers. Temporary fasteners that replace the bolt and nuts you were using at about the 6 minute mark. Not only will that speed things up tremendously, but they also make some excellent very small clamps that are opened with the cleco pliers and are super useful and fast. Cool stuff you're working on!

[@MacroMachines]

i'm familiar with them, but I'm only doing a small amount of riveting so the bolts work just fine

[@guillermonieri4203]

Thank you. It is looking great & I am learning a lot.

[@nikolauz3162]

Hello I have watched a video just minutes ago when you made a tank. I’m impressed but also inspired. I would love to at least try to make one. How much did it cost you both time and dollars. And what do you need to learn about vehicles?

[@allanrichards6448]

Just have to say its brilliant work. You are a natural at shaping metal as making that body is not easy. Just a question but are you going to put some form of bead on the top of the door panels? It would make a nice edge, add a bit of safety and also stiffen the top edge of those panels.

[@MacroMachines]

yeah, the plan is a rolled edge

[@pdztbtaylor]

I look forward to the video updates. What type of band saw are you using? I am sure it is time for school. What are you studying. It should be some form of engineering. Creations are great.

[@michaelmongillo1237]

All that work and talent... and you put it together with "duck tape" I would have used "flex seal" You can put side by sides together with flex seal. 🤣😂😅😃😄🤣😂

[@iancooper5615]

Did you not want to protect between the ally angle and the panel before rivetting them together? Moisture will certainly start corrosion unless protected.

[@kariarabellalassauniere402]

Wow!!! When it's all done, will it be street legal?

[@kendallreed1711]

Awsome video

[@DatBoiOrly]

Happy Halloween and happy new year!!!

[@RichieCat4223]

:33 I can't believe your a slacker. Lol. Always look forward to your video's.

[@garymucher9590]

You do very interesting and equally nice work. The English Wheel is a must in your project for certain. I enjoy watching your project come along. Keep them coming. I have to ask where do you get your aluminum sheets. I am looking for some, but haven't seen any place initially to buy any. Thumbs Up for sure...

[@MacroMachines]

i got the aluminum from a local fabrication shop that has suppliers

[@wimvandesteeg1353]

freakin great, thx for sharing!!

[@meran110]

I te piękne zakuwane nity, a nie zrywane.

[@andrewvitale2700]

Great job! And nice little car..and what guage is that aluminum? And why did you pick that guage?

[@MacroMachines]

its .063" 3003 aluminum. It's pretty much what everyone uses for building aluminum bodies

[@DYFEA]

great job!!! how much harder do you thing it would be if you did these same parts out of steel?

[@MacroMachines]

I haven't tried shaping any steel, but I'd imagine that thinner gauge steel would be pretty similar, maybe harder to weld

[@DYFEA]

@@MacroMachines thanks for the advice, i cant wait to see this car finished!

[@danielwilson6401]

Enjoying your videos, great work being done! Curious about the white object you are forming on at about 9:45 and onwards. What material, nylon or delrin?

[@MacroMachines]

that's just a block of wood that I carved down

[@reijerlincoln]

You Sir are a wizzard.

[@danielauen7790]

So, are you planning on painting it, or are you going to polish the ever-living hell out of it?

[@MacroMachines]

it's hard to maintain a super fine polish, so the plan is a decent polish

[@danielauen7790]

@@MacroMachines Over the long run I can see that being difficult, But it would be pretty neat seeing a basically chrome car when its done, even if it only lasts a little while.

[@jameseastwood4984]

I'm subbed! Is this a hobby or a business? Or is it a hobby that will create vehicles to sell?

[@Mr-ut7nj]

Awesome!

[@andydelapoer]

This screams out for a straight 8,sell the flat head and get a Packhard. Nice work.

[@longsleevethong1457]

Have you never seen a rivet spacing tool? Aka a rivet fan?

[@cvf1660]

That looks like a 1955 formula from ferrari

[@cuttersgoose]

What blade are u using on a table saw to cut 1/8 alumn?

[@krekautofunilaria9730]

Vai ficar top...em parabéns

[@DarkestVampire92]

NOW its christmas. Its two weeks late, but damn was it worth it.

[@OutlawEdge]

At 10:07 your using a body hammer. What the heck is that? Im really interested in looking at that and the small chunk of wood on top of your shrink stump. Could u please post pics on Instagram and tag me? Thanks! ARCO MN OUTLAW CUSTOMS

[@MacroMachines]

That was just a little hammer I made from a piece of 1/4" steel welded to a bolt, an the wood block is basically an anvil that I made with a bandsaw, grinder, and sander

[@patmclean1951]

Nice!!

[@robwilliams9157]

What motor are you planning on?

[@typehere8416]

Wehn you screw your sheet metal in place tempirarily, the bolts seem like they take a lot of time. There are these quick scres the medieval armourers on youtube use. Maybe check thwm out

[@bushnelljb]

how do you stencil things out before you cut out sections and start shaping?

[@kristoffer-robinlotze7273]

Man I hate you so much, in a good way! 😜 So impressed by your skills! 😀😀 Keep on the awesome work, I'm looking forward to the next video already. 😀

[@hotrodroadking1031]

Are you annealing the aluminum off camera

[@fordnut4914]

Doing a hell of a job but wish you could back off time lapse part kind of get a headache. Try show in regular speed my brains getting older hard to keep up. Lol

[@magellantravel424]

Ты молодец

[@MikkelHNielsen]

you should make room for tools and/or spare fuel in the back boat tail

[@MacroMachines]

I'll probably put a compartment behind the seat

[@MikkelHNielsen]

@@MacroMachines Good idea!

[@MikkelHNielsen]

@@MacroMachines Cool! BTW was just listening to the Funk track by Anders baldwin and others - and after that, the intro theme for your channel popped up. I'm a guitar player - let me know it you want you own (heavy metal) intro - check out the metal music part in this video I made a few years back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-9fZlrorNlftk send me an e-mail at [e-mail] we can talk details (no payment needed) :-)
