Datsun 240Z Restoration - The Bodywork Odyssey (Part 2)

[@mymechanics]

Thank you so much to all my supporters on Patreon! Without your support it wouldn't be possible to make such a huge and long project. If you're also interested in supporting this project you can join my Patreon at patreon.com/mymechanics I'm sharing daily updates/vlogs from the workshop. There's also a very detailed version of this video (2h 40min), which also includes episode 3, along with 110 vlogs that document the whole bodywork odyssey. Enjoy the video...

[@Vickie-Bligh]

MM, the journey you've been on from the beginning with this car has been fascinating and I'm so glad you're sharing it with us. From your buying it to now has been a fun ride. I am so looking forward to the next steps.

I haven't read your comment before writing mine and I used exactly the same word : "mesmerize". 😀

[@jooger69]

This will be another Project Binky

[@jesselester]

I sincerely appreciate that you do not settle for anything less than perfection. No body filler, welds to replace screw, no weird noises if a panel flexs. This is why your channel is number 1 amongst the restoration community. Also, those Beverly Shears.

[@seemonster77]

Your comment could not put it into any better words.

[@JS_Precision]

I think filler is completely unavoidable if he wants a perfect paint job. A lot of those small dents can't be made invisible without filler. But he is minimizing the amount he will need before painting. I'm sure the result will be perfect. Curious which color he will choose. The original one is not very appealing.

[@jbizzle1966]

I would have had it stripped and dipped before ANY body work. You have to know what you are working with BEFORE you start any restoration work

[@leandervr]

Everyone rightfully always comments on your technical skills, but I'd like to add how much I appreciate how your videos are filmed and edited. It's so relaxing to watch, everything is incredibly clear and up close and you cut out exactly the right amount of repetitiveness.

[@warrenlewis3977]

The most important thing is....no babbling about nonsense.

[@kstarler]

It's strange how relaxing they are, because (especially in this one) there's always loud noises with hammering, sanding, etc. And yet, they are super soothing to watch.

[@marshwetland3808]

@@kstarlerYeah, because the sounds match the action, unlike when my neighbour does something similar but much less competently 5 feet from the side of my house, when it's just a temptation to murder - lol

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

I've become obsessed with how he shoots and edits videos. Because it's just better. It just is. There's a formula to it too. He never fast forwards, and if he does it's very brief and for a specific reason. He shows you exactly what you want to see **for exactly the right amount of time**.

[@andrewharding033]

I couldn't agree more. I fell asleep watching it. It is beautifully methodical.

[@Mr.PoopyDoobertPants]

My only complaint with this series is that it goes by so quickly. I know it takes an insane amount of work and attention to detail to make these videos, but time just flies by so fast watching these. I could seriously watch hours of this and be glued to my seat. This channel is an absolute treasure to KZbin.

[@snowstrobe]

I never want them to end...

[@ArniVidar]

If you want more, Patreon members get near-daily vlogs, and the full Patreon cut of the chassis video is almost 3 hours long. 😀

[@arcsound]

About 20 years ago I was given a 240Z, California car with almost zero rust, but otherwise rough. Had it shipped to VA with intention to restore it. After 2 years of it sitting under a cover, my wife says "fix it, or sell it". I sold it. Watching this video, I made the right decision, I no longer regret not trying to restore it. The skill and the speciality tools needed to do the job correctly are on another level from what I might have mustered. Thank you for helping me see I was not equipped to try restoring it myself.

[@vendacious]

Yeah, I had project '74 260Z with a 350 V8, but my car's interior burned up in an iPhone fire. I was told 'no more potential fires, please' and had to sell it. You are definitely not missing a fun experience w/ the body. Even watching him scraping off the rubberized coating on the floorboards evoked painful memories of trying to fix all the jack stand puncture holes from 35 years of dumb owners who put it in the wrong place. Anyone with a '70-'78 240Z-280Z project car, unless you're capable like this guy, I'd give that job to body shop.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

What a great episode. You distilled the months of hard work into the essence of all you've accomplished. The filming was perfect as well as the storytelling. You let me feel like I was right next to you and that's awesome. Loved the cliffhanger as well.😉Even though it's a car, and this is a long drawn-out process, it still feels like a regular restoration. Thanks, MM. This is a fun ride.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Much appreciated!

[@somethingsochill]

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen this level of meticulous care taken on a restoration of a car. This Datsun is going to be SO MUCH BETTER than it was when it was new, it’s insane. You are truly going to have a one of a kind automobile sir!

I can’t even begin to describe my admiration for your talents, not only your imagination and skill at tackling the challenges, but your creativity and talent in recording and editing these videos for us to enjoy. As a previous “Z” owner, I can barely contain my enthusiasm for the next chapter. Well done, Master! 👍👍👍 ~ John in Ohio

[@Jhet]

That sound dampening removal was top tier. The unique ways to deal with problems efficiently is why i love this channel.

[@mbpm6135]

I think of all the restoration channels out there, this one has the best and most versatile range of technical skills, tools and solutions to problems. This episode in particular was wonderful for learning how to approach awkward angles and sheet metal repair.

[@macloricott13]

And finally, at 19:17, what we were all waiting for. "I make a new one." Your work is an inspiration, sir.

[@shox007]

Absolutely amazing! I could have watched this for an hour, two hours even. I didn’t even notice 27 minutes go by. The craftsmanship, engineering, imagination and improvisation are unparalleled. But the video editing is absolutely outstanding as well. No needless repetition. No drawn out segments on one little task. I’ve seen other channels which have tried to imitate this one - with some success - but nothing compares to the story-telling-in-video on this channel.

[@mymechanics]

Glad to hear that, thank you very much

[@JanStrojil]

Having restored and modified a few cars, knowing the amount of work it takes ! I always thought that you more or less have to leave some stuff behind, as it would otherwise be impossible to ever get done. Apparently I was wrong 😍 That being said, my BMW 635 were run here in Sweden and had 3-9 layers of paint, and square meters of corrosion 😅

[@timpedersen4286]

The camera angles while removing the dents was mesmerizing. Watching those dents disappear with the lighting reflections was magical. I'm also impressed at how much your work has a mental release for me that just about anything can be rebuilt, and that every small effort is worth the work. Great Video!

[@SerialSlowCooker]

Personally I don't like fender mirrors and would have kept the door mirrors but its not my car so my opinion doesn't count. You're a magician with metal and do the most thorough restorations I've ever seen so no doubt whatever you choose to do this 240Z is going to look amazing!

[@allenjamesbanguih2749]

I'm not the biggest fan of fender mirrors but still your work is amazing

All he did was convert it from an American version to the original Japanese/European version. Japan didn't require side markers, and the mirrors were fender-mounted.

[@timothysmith7034]

Also to @mymechanics, if you are doing that, I assume you're going to discard the Datsun emblems and possibly replace them with "Fairlady" emblems?

Great job you are doing on the 24 OZ ( as they were called here). Mike in Oz

if there was an award for best cinematography on youtube, this takes the cake. every dent fix is framed as such the dent is visible and there is a reflective light in the background. also the amount of care taken in restoring the vehicle is probably more than the factory model that hit the ground when it was released. this is my dream car and the dream amount of care taken to make it beautiful.

You're restoring this car in a way I always wished craftsman would when I used to watch other auto resto shows over the years. So often you'd see them Bondo every single imperfection. It's not wrong, but seeing you weld, hammer, pull and bend metal to your will is immensely satisfying. I hope you continue with your usual exacting attention to detail with the rest of the series.

Finally the video we’ve all been waiting for. And, as always, it was awesome. You’re literally the best restoration channel on YT. I can’t wait to see part 3!

Bodywork is so chaotic and overwhelming often times, but with your structured and organized way of working through it all, you make it seem so easy and orderly 🥰 One tip for the filler parts if you don't already know: You can use a weak magnet, like those thin flexible magnet patches, to go over a panel. When there's filler beneath, the magnet won't stick.

Yep, he's already done that for the entire car. 🙂

Oh, nevermind then 🤗

That's how I found the stuff on the passenger door

I can’t imagine the sense of pride you must have knowing you are making something even better than how it was originally made. I loved this video.

Not just an incredibly detailed restoration, but an incredible shot with incredible lighting. All this in one video: Incredible.
