[@Tippie_2_Much]

This channels going to blow up big. One of your videos was on my recommend page and now I’m hooked.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@charlietracy5590]

I cant wait to see the final product!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

[@six9.potatomax]

I'm here at 13.4K... This channel will soon see 1.34M! You guys doing amazing work, keep it coming!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

You got it! Thanks so much!

[@devinroundy983]

I have always wanted to do a shaved engine bay. It adds so much to the end product.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

It sure does! Makes the engine pop

[@-_____-]

The editing is insanely good! You guys will have one fast RX7, that's for sure! :D

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Haha thanks so much!

[@Balomis]

If you guys can keep pumping out quality content like this on the regular, you'll definitely start picking up more and more views! I love that you're mixing quality videography and also some really cool information about shaving bays that not a lot of channels seem to cover. Stoked to be a relatively early subscriber 🤙

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much dude! Happy to have you here!

[@clydeyokoi9347]

Really great content. Vid edit is spot on. Enough detail with enough commentary. Keep up the great work.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much!

[@ghostgamer935]

this is one of not only the highest quality channels I have seen (you guys DO do it better than even hoonigan or donut in my opinion) but you guys also show the work and are super good at what you guys do, which is super awesome to someone like me who is newer to modifying my oh so beloved vehicles. You guys will definitely blow up if you stay at it. Amazing channel.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thank you so much! We appreciate it!

[@jasonkelley6185]

Finally someone who looks like they know how to do this properly.

[@robertblack9119]

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much!

[@cbreeze5444]

Thank u you tube algorithm! These are such well made videos!!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

We appreciate it!!

[@chrismarek7864]

I just stumbled across this video series and I must say so far what I have seen is amazing! I love your guys’ more down to earth approach to your content instead of the in your face approach that a lot of custom build content creators prefer. Also this strikes a chord with me because I’ve been in love with the Dodge Viper since I was a kid and I’ve always wanted to see a build using the Viper engine as its heart and soul. Glad you guys are delivering on that. Good luck with the build.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much! We appreciate the support!

[@chrismarek7864]

@@slightlyMADcustoms by the way, speaking from experience, the viper engine puts out a LOT of heat. You’re gonna want to take that into consideration during the build.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Gotcha. Any tips to keep her cool? We don’t have a huge amount of space for a rad unfortunately

[@chrismarek7864]

@@slightlyMADcustoms what I meant was the engine itself radiates so much heat that it can bleed into the interior of the car making the climate control heater pretty much useless LOL. But since you have limited space for a radiator, Use the strongest, most reliable electric cooling fan money can buy and when you fabricate the shroud, make it seal tight against the radiator and make the clearances somewhat tight around the blades so that it increases its efficiency as much as possible and pulls the most air through the radiator that it can. Also you’re probably going to want an oil cooler as well which I believe it already has.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Gotcha okay. Now with RX7s there’s lots of hoods with huge vents on them. I’m sure that could help a lot too

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Good on you guys for committing to this build, looks like its paying off already. Keep cruisin boys, loving the build as always

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

We’ll keep at it! Thanks so much

i'd like to know about the welding.which type of welding do u use?

We used a Mig welder in this video. Very easy and fun to use, there’s lots of great videos showing techniques on Mig

[@FoodFighter46]

INSANE

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

🙏🙏

[@swedishiansvantesson3672]

did you just weld right through the body sealer on that shock tower? does it just cook off?

[@swedishiansvantesson3672]

never mind just saw the last part. How do you recommend getting all the sealer out??

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Wire wheel or pick is probably your best options. No real nice way to do it

[@trevormcculloch5011]

What takes longer, the metal work or the video editing? What a great b-roll edit. Nice relaxing watch. Keep it up, I'll be back next week.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Good question! The metal work was approx 80-100 hours. Editing is around 2-3 hours. One of the more involved videos for sure. Thanks so much!

What are you doing at 2.03, the engine shaving bit, that weird tool your passing over the welds or seam sealer or whatever your doing? Good luck with this build, I've only just discovered you guys but so far am enjoying your content, I have my own channel so appreciate how much work and money goes into a project like this, keep up the good work, stay safe and most importantly keep having fun.....👍👌👍

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Hey! Thank you so much! That tool is a electric die grinder. Essentially a little sharp bit that can cut down welds in hard to reach areas. Works great for cleaning up inside edges

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Awesome, so it's just tidying up the original welds, great work, your builds are so pretty the E30 is pure sex but I'm a JDM till I die kinda guy so love the FD and to drop one of the worlds greatest v10's in an FD makes my pants twitch lol! (Who cars about front heavy short wheelbase handling bs, it's an FD with a viper V10 it's already won 🤣👍👌👍) Cheers I'll check out that tool, I'm just getting my head around making my builds pretty I'm usually function over form but your builds are so sexy and still capable it's definitely making me think mine can be pretty too! I'd love to email you guys sometime, I want to do a tour challenging other countries you tubers to build offs, it'll be a country Vs country thing but I'll come to you, (I'm in the UK) do you think you might fancy that if viable? Otherwise keep building, I'm a life fan for sure and will tell everyone I meet about you guys, I wish you all the best and maybe we'll race one day! Untill then, peace and fun brothers.
