DIY Fender Flares and Last Episode of the Build! - Project Frankenwagon, Ep. 23

[@DreamWrench]

Thank you for the shoutout and nice job dialing in the stance! I definitely have a large headlight section for you! We are on shelter in place orders but I will get that to you as soon as I can. I look forward to the truck and shop build! Congrats on the house too!

[@vvanhellsingg]

Probably the only car chanel on KZbin or the entire Internet with a psychedelic approach. Golden. Greetings from the Land of Volkswagen.

[@HLife719]

Original VW four lug hubcaps would be a nice touch. Really enjoyed the entire build and the result. Congratulations!

[@michaelattner550]

God job and god luck to yuo r next Jobs.

[@danielgomori]

I just recently found your channel. I love old cars, including VWs. You make cool videos not to mention that I'm a Nine Inch Nails fan, this is the perfect content for me. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@roulsalzer5407]

Dude you are freaking awesome..... Point Blank 👍✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@dannybracken6982]

Love the cars and steel wheels. No caps you have the perfect look. Leave it and call it done. It's beautiful. Great job.

[@tanco2158]

WoW...😃 I really love this build... You combined two of my favorite vehicles...💕 Great work dude...👏👏👏👏👏 Love the 'rat rod' look also...👍

[@yellowgruts8340]

What a cool car. Well done conversion, it will last for years as a daily driver, and nobody will steal it.

[@GT.Bugger]

Looks perfect now sitting on the steel wheels. Great job.

[@fillusrahim-xy9ib]

Need a funky coat of paint.....wire mesh for the radiator grill 👌

[@black_jackledemon6298]

Banding material. Metal banding material conforms to many shapes. (Accurately with magnets...rare earth magnets preferably.) Takes a scribe scratch easily and doesn't tend to rust. So drill a hole and *Sharpie info on it and put it on a wire loop for the future and/or passengerside. Friends come to me on the off chance already have it on a loop or can help them make their own. Hope that helps...really cool project. 😀👍

[@aceadman]

Hey. I love this car. Thanks for sharing the adventure and the work. Lotta fun. Maybe give us small updates on any changes and upgrades going forward?. I like your style, and look forward to the future projects. I just bought a house myself, and though it has an attached garage, it needs work. New floor and finishings. Can’t wait to see the pickup and watch your garage go up. Glad to be a follower of your work. Keep well out there.

[@ntoxic8edx]

Graphed some ghia fenders onto the squareback it will flare it and also looks slick. There is some pics of ghia fender flared squarebacks

[@luigee336]

Frankin' whatttt! My good sir you f%#/@¥ rocked it...well done.

[@nanocunha]

Really cool. Congratulations on the project! Cristiano Cunha, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

[@henryandejbelcher7902]

You did a nice job on that car great work. Ho an i have been working on car for 45 years so i know good work .

[@netfun4604]

I just found your yt channel, I have been enjoying Nathan's garage and like body swaps. Driving downtown Portland and south on i5, nice. I live on the coast. I am going back to go thru your build from the beginning. I totalling like your ride. Congrats!

[@Oswald2615]

Hi. I just found your videos and LOVE your work! DIY excellence! You are very talented and it is great that you have the skills to complete such dynamic mods! One other comment is that for my taste the original mag wheels looked better than the black steel. Obviously, not to you - excellent work and congratulations! Wish I could do the same. I have a not too different project I would like to do, but lack the skills. Peace and Cheers! 😊

[@goodstuffbetterstuff7207]

Haven’t seen an argyle sweater in a few days. 😂 keep up the good work man

[@mid-niteryders5523]

I would have restored the squareback, cuz I like them. Really impressed at your ability to make one car out of two, great job !

[@sneeuwwolf1176]

Widening the arches.... One word: BASEBALL BAT

[@kenglavens6455]

My parents bought this identical car new in 65 when we were stationed in Germany. I have been looking for another one. It's probably better as a Mazda anyway but I would have kept the original dash. Let me know if you'd like to sell it.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Loved this build I have literally watched it started to finish we so need to try something like this day. I defo think it needs a turbo one day haha all the best

[@jamest5149]

Great build.

[@atom_________6815]

I don't know if you fixed your window handle issue but if you put a gear on the spot where the crank handle was and run a chain down to another spot where you can mount it with another gear( I kind of had bicycle parts in mind) then maybe you can leave the crank handle on it permanently I dunno its just my two cents

[@pauloconnor7951]

Wow, almost cant tell. Good job.

[@tommydanger2564]

I really like how the ride height turned out and I really like the wheels/tires. I’m not going to lie, I was wondering how that would turn out and what you would choose to do with it.

[@redgoatgarage6880]

Still waiting for a proper burnout video filmed from outside the car. Awesome job I also have a type 3 Squareback . Stock engine 50 year old suspension, slowww. I so wanna do a frame swap to a v8 but my car body is so rust free.

[@ernestomartinez5671]

Me gusta mucho tu trabajo le diste mucha frescura a la wagon

[@ernestomartinez5671]

Para mi ya eres uno de los mejores por haberte atrevido hacer el Swaps de chasis

[@ratridermaan]

Nice job on this!

[@korosuchimu1479]

Really cool build man, I might suggest something like bc adjustable coilovers. You can set the height exactly as you want it

[@1970fatman]

nice build

[@BobPegram]

Really need the montage, I missed most of the episodes! I can't remember if it has Miata engine and radiator or not. It does have an all Miata suspension I gather and probably a lengthened Miata chassis. I just prefer the squarebacks to the fastbacks. Just like I prefer notchback early Mustangs to the fastbacks. Nobody much younger than me seems to remember how the Mustang notchbacks wowed Americans in the fall of 1964. You might remember the introduction of the Ford Taurus in 1988. It had a very similar effect on the public. In my case it felt like: "Finally, an up to date car!"

[@peterplouf2836]

Kind of sad to see the project "end" I figure I have two more years on the Molvo before it can be deemed "done". Looking forward to the shop build, don't do wool floors this time, it scared the hell out of me when you were welding on the wood floors of the last place.

[@ThisOldJalopy]

I have project ADHD lol. And good point about the wood floors, I would never do that (again)

[@donaldbarrett2267]

I've had a couple of squarebacks and really liked them. They were stock. I can only how much nicer the Miata conversion can make the car. Great job! I am not a fan of the rat rod look but to each his own.

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Thx for the video 👍

[@ernestomartinez5671]

Esa será la cereza del pastel

[@johnstout5623]

I really enjoyed watching you throughout this build and I greatly admire your industrious craftsmanship. Is it my imagination or has your hair gone gray since you started?

[@kreigjean]

Did you have room for a back seat after stretching the Miata?

[@roulsalzer5407]

My question is does it still smell like a Volkswagen inside you know Volkswagen has that certain smell that can never be duplicated

[@jaytitus902]

Where is your holiday burnout? Look at Zip ties and bias plies to see what I mean. GITTER DONE!

[@punkbloater]

It’s sexeh! Should be interesting projects.

[@TheMiglos10]

Didn't You could get steel wheel wiht bigger et ?

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Build an ICF garage... And an F100

[@jamesdavenport4583]

How much would it cost me to have you do one of those for me? 😁

[@conracewhatever5224]

I want this car 🥺

[@AvengedAggressively]

What's up with the creepy serial killer music when you're flaring the fender

[@ThisOldJalopy]

thats Nine Inch Nails

[@ernestomartinez5671]
