Shaping The Rear End! | Austin J40 Pedal Car Restoration | Ep.6

[@TheJohnTwist]

Just spent 11 hours cooking for 60 clients in an old aged peoples home , full breakfast, Roast Turkey or roast gammon for dinner (yorky puds, stuffing, roast potatoes, glistening gravy) and to finish the days treats I did them a good old English Buffet tea (pork pies, sausage rolls , scotch eggs, cheese and pineapple sticks, sandwiches, with a good old fashioned sherry trifle to finish). Now it's Dom time, sat with a McEwans best Scotch and a smile on my face, best time of the week.

[@jackpledger8118]

How many Yorky:s do your put in your puds?

[@Manski_123]

I want to end up in THAT old peoples home 😉

[@peterhofmann8292]

Massive amount of work, hats off to both of you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@robingray1302]

A perfect mix of banter & brilliance !!!

[@colinhiggins1412]

Great content Dom. Brilliant advert for the baby Rangalgh. So useful for smaller jobs. Love it and keep em coming.

[@richardraby6266]

Please just keep these excellent videos coming, and ignore anything that's not positive. Your weekly updates are just excellent, often even mesmerizing! Thank you for posting this material as I know that I'm not alone in rating these adventures of yours as approaching priceless!

[@northfieldguitars7743]

That 356 rear end! Nice work as always Dom and John 👍🏼

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks 👍

[@kmac499]

This pedal car is going to be like an Apprentice piece for the Edwaedian 😊😊

[@RaymondMcBride-z6w]

As much as I want to see the Porsche I love the pedal car ❤

[@Simon67316]

Looks so satisfying to produce a panel like that from a flat piece of steel.

[@DominicChineas]

It’s satisfying when it goes well!!

[@davidsalisbury4290]

Great work guys.

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you!

[@marciabaldwin2506]

It's absolutely brilliant, great work Dom and Jon love the banter between you guy's ❤ keep up the amazing work ❤

[@gordoncripps345]

A tantalising shot of the back of the 356.....!

[@ph0n1k]

Came in to say this!

[@philipgray9155]

Yes, spotted it too, complete with engine cover - tantalizing indeed!

[@leslieaustin151]

Most tantalising sight… of an old Triumph (Speed Twin??) in the background. C’mon Dom, are you holding out on us? Nice panel work today, well done, surely Geoff is proud of his pupil? Les

[@ecc84]

Yeh I noticed that as well, maybe we'll get a look at it sometime.

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

I enjoyed that.

[@AlanEvans-m7f]

That as squeak got less noticeable the more you used it Dom. Great video again lads,thank you

[@petercavanaugh6510]

Hey Dom and Jon! Another cool project (and apparently an Areo car in the near future, too) BUT.... I signed on to watch the 356 restoration. Please don't forget about that!

[@Pops1948]

Such a nice bloke, a pleasure to watch

[@stephenlines9431]

Loving your 'have a go' approach to this. Most people would give up almost straight away. That mini Ranalah and the tool post are working really well. There is such a strong 'this WILL be finished' positive vibe that I'll be confidently and enthusiastically following this thread. Good practice for the Porsche as well I think. So much to look forward to, thanks.

[@hornetboy3694]

Awesome video, amazing work thank you dom

[@DaveAMcLaughlin]

Brilliant job, Dom & Jon! 👍

[@TheJohnTwist]

All good practice for the porsche, can't wait til you two start on that.

[@davidallum6841]

You and John make it look easy, it makes me want to have a go. When you said John was going to be late , I thought he was getting his hair cut . 😂

[@MikeSmith-sg9pt]

Awesome, love a feature-length video 😃👍🏻

[@rogerwileman9965]

What a beautiful new piece. It’s great seeing how much you both are learning

[@Admo-backtothe80s]

Great practice before driving deep into the Porsche. Tool post is awesome, every workshop should have one.

[@gavinarmstrong4033]

I look forward to this projects progress it’s very enjoyable great stuff

[@terrytopliss9506]

Well done boys,coming along fine. Thanks for the video.👍👍

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom & John, it's getting exciting got no finger nails left 😅, All the best Brian 😃

[@johndavey72]

Hi Dom and Good Afternoon Jon . Well you must be very satisfied with the progress today . And that Ranalah tool post is brilliant too ! Well done Dom , your wheeling skills are genuinely very impressive . Cheers

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks 👍

[@anglerden6937]

Another great video Dom and John, keep up the good work!

[@BuiltatBlackjacks]

That panel between the cockpit and the bootlid? Always called it the catwalk.

[@markbonham]

Great stuff and love the updates. 👍👏

[@franksmodels29]

Great vid nice to see those panels being made 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@judithbarnett2966]

"Don't know what I'm doing" ... haha! Yes. You. Do! Jon keeps you sane though! (Great job guys)

[@georgeclements2742]

A super episode. It seems that you got the bearing on the baby Ranalagh to quieten down for the second panel. The pedal car is a great project on its own, but the jobs you are doing on it will also prove excellent practice for when you are able to get back onto the Porsche, where the stakes are higher (no pun intended for your beautiful new work stand). Best wishes.

[@jagvette1]

Next design English wheel you need to be able to turn the heads 90 degrees for wide sheets.

[@RolandWalper]

Great!

[@MikeSmith-sg9pt]

8:23 The look on Dom's face! 😂

[@DominicChineas]

Haha!

[@philipgray9155]

I just got home to Vancouver after visiting the magnificent Schlumpf Collection at the Nationale Musée D’automobile in Mulhouse, France….. the biggest car museum in Europe with over 500 cars including an amazing collection of Bugatti’s and Etore Bugatti’s personal Royale. Anyway, towards the end of the exhibit hall is an immaculate collection of kids cars. Nestling at the back is a fine example of a J40, unusually in black. I wanted to post a pic of it here, but lack the technical know how. Anyhoo, For many reasons, I would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful place.

[@michaellane9873]

Coming together nicely you guys.

[@papaeph6134]

Nice one Dom - I know from decades of experience working in a power station that a handle fitted to a handwheel is far easier to grip and turn either way.

[@christophernoto]

I love model making, but, my goodness, it’s been Four Months since the last Porsche video! Haaalp! 😂😢❤ (Stop teasing me with her shiny new sheet metal in the background!😉)

[@likeakite]

Brilliant stuff !

[@24vince1]

What a great thing to learn your craft, keep it up and good luck 👍

[@bobfrankish8883]

Great piece of tin-bashing guys, very well done.

[@richardgould240]

Great job you two, what a team 👍

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Well done

[@johnmoore7825]

amazing content displaying the skill involved 👍

[@kentmckean6795]

Very nice!

[@richardgoodge7666]

Top work as always gents

[@philfrangregson3463]

To make it easier to get straight runs with the bead roller, would it be possible to clamp some sort of adjustable fence to the bottom arm? It might make it easier to stay straight.

[@blownmagnet]

you can really see how the smaller sized Ranalah comes into its own when you're working on smaller panels

[@bobt3374]

Hi Dom & John. nice work on the parts side you two could soon go into business.

[@ianlainchbury]

Sunday evening..... sorted :)

[@rodharris2915]

Well done to you three great content filming and John 👍👏👏

[@parttroll1]

You’re both definitely on a roll. 😊 keep up the good work gents

[@AndyCallaway]

Nice work. 👍 BTW did I see a Ranalah at The Repair Shop?

[@DominicChineas]

Yes indeed!

[@redfoxclassics]

What else would you use a mini Ranalah for except for making a mini car!? Nice progress on both there.

[@mikeskelly2356]

I expected a bit of 'shrinking' on the center of those right angle lips. I've always found those bends try to undo some of the curve on a panel. But, then, I'm used to replacing panels on full size vehicles... 😛

[@grapesodatravels]

Gotta love the dream team together!

[@ronaldkent1971]

Just Adding to skill set dom

[@PeterJewell2]

For next time, Dom, please show us how you make a 'sweep'. Drawing and cutting a flat template I can imagine, but not magicking up some bent ally to a complex curve.

[@DominicChineas]

It was just very slowly sneaked into shape with the shrinker, sorry I didn’t film it!

[@PeterJewell2]

@@DominicChineas - Ahh, right. I think it's because I'm used to working in wood that the idea of shrinking or stretching metal is somewhat like alchemy. It shouldn't be really, I've watched you do it often enough! I need to think about the process a bit more deeply!

[@StephenBoyd21]

Keep up the wheeling.

[@donaldridley7826]

Is this practice for the Porsche?

[@papaeph6134]

Another great video guys. May I make a suggestion; perhaps you could add a handle to the bottom handwheel as it would make it a heck of a lot easier to operate.

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you, I will try a larger hand wheel but yeah, a small handle could be an option!

[@arielsaeth]

How your going to get an aero engine in the J40 I don't know??

[@nyqer6636]

Surely to really master wheeling you need a rolly but hanging from your lip.😂😂😂 Brilliant again from both of you

[@chrissandberg8856]

Hi Dom, Great episode. One thing I have seen and read about is the first pass for tipping use a skateboard wheel as the bottom wheel. This soft bottom wheel starts the bend and then a hard wheel for the rest gets the tipping done.. Great project. Thanks for sharing.

[@furzedefur]

A beacon of light in a dark world.

[@RichardSibley-n1n]

Put us through the pain Don & John, it;s greta seeing the progress. Brilliant.

[@michaelspurling4376]

Dom: Because you can't be trusted. John: Well, there is that. Me: ROFL!

[@movesky6696]

look good would like to do english wheel class

[@DominicChineas]

You should visit Geoff at mph motor panels!

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Did you change out the bearings between working the first and the second panel on the half-scale Ranalah or did it quiet down on it's on after being worked a while?

[@DominicChineas]

The bearings have been in and out of 3 wheels so many times they are knackered! They quietened down towards the end but still need replacing

[@markhoneywoodmobile]

There was a lovely J40 in the Valetta Concours event in Malta today but I can't seem to be able to post a picture of it here in the KZbin comments

[@robertallardice8119]

The giant sink plunger seems to be working well!🥴

[@DominicChineas]

Perfectly!

[@tamarmolerick3814]

Nice.

[@steveturner8840]

Great work Dom did you have to shrink the edges on the lower rear panel to keep the radius after folding the edges?

[@DominicChineas]

Yes I did

[@steveturner8840]

Yea nice Dom I like the attention to detail 👍🏻👍🏻

[@derbyshirebirdwatcher6054]

The Ranalette?

[@howardosborne8647]

Hi,Dom. All coming together nicely now👌. On the subject of handwheels being too small to be practical it is an error I see often on small milling machines and lathes...just because the machine itself is half or quarter of the size of a commercial machine does not justify the control handwheels being made miniature to the point where they are impracticable to the user.

[@Mark-RD350]

Dom are yea goin to put wheels on the smallest one cause I'd like to make small cars out of beer cans yea? the Noddy car is looking better can't wait to see it finished I hope you two tone it or give it rally stripes yea.

[@SteveGroom]

[@Rovinman]

Are you going to make your J4 into a J4.E for this modern age ? Make it Electric ! Stay safe ! Stu xx

[@mark110101]

@Dominic Chinea, the last panel you did is called a sail panel, excellent work as always

[@beornwhetstone2797]

I’ve heard the panel above the “boot” called the Tulip panel

[@williammurfin6354]

Hey Dom, how come you didn't use the bead roller to tip those edges further???? It looks like those edges/ folds are rounded more than shape and square. Not being picky but constructive. But WOW!! love the mini ran!!!! Oh that Ranalah tool post is very close to what I knocked up. Nice!!!!

[@DominicChineas]

They needed a bit of shrinking then we just hammered them the rest of the way

[@martinhaskell376]

After successfully producing a reduced scale Ranalah Dom, have you ever thought of building an increased scale J40 that adults could drive?

[@DominicChineas]

Haha I wish I had time for that!

[@MeganHerdrich]

Nice video. The smaller ranahler is great

[@paulelliott2861]

What a team. You guys made that look so easy. Well done love these videos . Thanks for the uploads.

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks for watching!

[@alanrichardson1672]

I think a good wheeler design improvement would be to use either shielded or sealed bearings. Is there a particular reason for using 'open' type bearings since they will colllect all sorts of debris in relatively no time at all which is far from ideal?

[@DominicChineas]

The bearings will be sealed in the mini ranalah, this is just a test machine and the bearings are clearly absolutely knackered!

[@RaceDayReplay]

only 14 weeks to get it finished. Should be doable

[@leonardgore7948]

I saw a guy who used a rubber band on the top wheel made it smoother don’t know if you have seen that before?

[@DominicChineas]

Yes I have seen that before, it’s not to make it smoother though, never needed to try it!

[@GARDENER42]

Top panel is the boot hinge panel.

[@mikerinn6187]

Cheers guys

[@stevebowen809]

Tool post, needs Ranalagh cast vertically into the post, otherwise it has nothing heritage about it, it needs to have a premium look.

[@davidbillington9654]

Something is wrong with the bearings in the little Ranalah EW, no way should they be making that noise. I'm wondering if they've been fitted too tight taking up the internal clearance and they've been damaged as a result.

[@DominicChineas]

There is a lot wrong with them!! They are all new now

[@cliveturner4788]

Who’s going to produce the driver then? 😊

[@5fingers1]

looking good 👍

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks 👍

[@WarGrade]

And put some SEALED bearings on it

[@johnbutcher125]

I think the top piece is called a scuttle

[@AlsETypeResto]

Baby Ranala grew up through the episode and stopped squealing
