Why in the world aren't there like 250,000 subs by now?? This young man is great!

[@PAFishandTanks]

We need to share his KZbin page out

[@teekay_1]

No doubt these guys are clever and they've shown some amazing things, but the car was started closing in on 5 years ago (at least according to the dates on the videos; maybe it's actually done now), very often with several months between videos. That's a long time as a viewer to expect a payoff that still hasn't come. I come back regularly to see if it's done yet, but it feels a bit dragged out.

[@BigHeinen]

@@teekay_1 While I understand your time issues with the build please remember that it's just one guy and his dad and they have no mechanical engineering training or manufacturing experience. They started off with the the most rudimentary hand tools and power tools. Over time the channel and patreon income has allowed them to acquire some better tools but it's still just one guy and his dad filming. This is as raw as it gets in regards to 'home built' and seat of the pants design and build. With all due respect...please cut them a little slack sir.

In my ever so humble opinion, your engineering prowess and the quality of your work puts you firmly in the realm of guys like Allen Millyard and Bad Obsession Motorsports. I enjoy your videos immensely, thank you for allowing us to follow along with you on this awesome father/son/garage build! Addendum: I can't help but notice that every single part of that car that you touch ends up far better than factory when you're done. Kudos!

[@janne3006]

That's a bold statement but yeah it's the highest grade you can give a fabricator of any kind.

[@-triumphgt667]

Fabulous work - the wipers on mine show willing but little else. I do wonder what the completed car will weigh though - the V8 clearly makes that mostly irrelevant but the engineering seems to be more Bentley than Lotus! This is a fantastic journey and I have enjoyed every step.

[@FanatikBuilds]

Thanks very much! Means a lot to have your support! I'm estimating 2400lbs dry, though to be honest I'm not that bothered if it's a bit more ... most of the additional weight is further down and rearward, so the balance will be improved and a little extra heft over the rear tires isn't exactly a bad thing ... with our power to weight ratio! 😅 All the best to ya! 🙏👍

[@denis9450]

Ah lots of Brackets you have to have lots Regards from Liverpool England

[@FanatikBuilds]

The more large items added to the car, the less space we've got left for the small stuff, so the more creative we have to get! 😅 And here was me thinking life would get easier as we progressed! Cheers Denis, all the best from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@BillRyan]

I'm always blown away and inspired by your fab skills. You have really honed them to a fine point over this build. Thank you both for sharing this journey with us. You inspired me to get a welder and start fabricating in my shop. I'm nowhere near your level of skill but you've motivated me to make things and it's so much fun. I agree with one of the commenters that you should have three or four hundred thousand followers with this build.

[@FanatikBuilds]

Really kind of you Bill, I appreciate that, here's hoping the numbers will start to rise soon! Wonderful to hear our little project has inspired you - happy building, and the more you do the better you'll get, I'm still learning every time I pick up a tool! Cheers 😊🙏

[@bobrose7900]

That was a bracket and a half! It's always a juggling act - stiffness and weight, but that's a great job. I don't think OEMs put as much thought into wipers... Can't remember where the washer jets were on my Mk2, but more fun to come I'm sure! Thoroughly enjoyable video.

Many years ago I was trained to do weld preps on nuclear reactors (submarines). There was a course taught by a very talented instructor prior to qualifying to perform preps (40-45*, 45-50* and j-preps) that I had to complete. I have to say that your skills with an angle grinder amaze me! Love the channel.

Impressive fabrication skills young man. It is refreshing to see fabrication done with your mind, skills , and available tools. Not everyone has a full blown cad system, CNC plasma table, CNC milling center, CNC lathe, and on and on with sponsors to boot. I am restoring a Triumph TR3 to original condition. I decided if I was doing this I had to make the parts I needed. Yes it is slow but rewarding. Continued success on your build ! Frank

[@FanatikBuilds]

Thank you Frank, means a lot to me! I certainly wouldn't be opposed to having some CNC equipment on hand, but until that day, hand tools it is! Enjoy your TR3 project, lovely little car! 👍

I never fail to enjoy one of these episodes. Even though you may be glad to finally finish and enjoy the fruits of your labour I will be a little sad it's over. SO GIVE US UPDATES WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE SUNSET. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FanatikBuilds]

Quite honestly I'll be sad when it's done too! Hopefully I'll have some space to start the next project by then though! 😬🤞 We'll definitely have to figure out a creative way to get some rolling shots someday, I'm not really kitted out for it, but the project will deserve a proper ending. Don't know the probability of it, but I'd love to have the @ThrottleHouse boys do a video on it! 😎✌

[@lordodin5755]

@@FanatikBuilds The amount of things you guys need to do and/or purchase weekly uploads would only be feasible on a big youtuber budget and even then part of the charm is you doing it with your dad who you cant expect to make it all about a youtube channel.

The brake booster linkage was pretty trick but you've outdone yourselves on the wipers. Hope your cross country trip includes the Pacific Northwest, where the wipers will get seriously tested.

Nothing like what you are doing more original but with just as much body work. Thanks again and keep up the great work

[@FanatikBuilds]

Thanks Anthony, doing this together has always been the point, and it's also partly why it's taking so long (our schedules don't always overlap) ... but it's been an amazing experience to share with dad, and I'm very blessed to have had the opportunity! Enjoy your time with your own son, I love hearing about other projects like that! 😎🎉

[@ronaureliuschilton9303]

I’m glad someone mentioned BOM, got me to thinking about how well Fanatik sits alongside them. In terms of engineering you are a massively underrated channel. I wish you many more followers. I drive a completely original GT6, the purist in me weeps but won over by the standard and learning journey.

[@FanatikBuilds]

That means a great deal to me, thank you Ronaurelius. I especially appreciate your sentiments considering your ownership of a factory GT6... I know we've strayed about as far as possible from the original design, but as you say it's been a wonderful learning experience and I'm extremely grateful to have had the opportunity! All the best to you 👍

[@ronaureliuschilton9303]

I could have mirrored so many of the other comments made here and endorse them all. Massive kudos to you, your channel epitomises everything I feel engineering to be. Couple that with humour and cracking editing then to me it's a winner. I am in the UK and my gt6 is one of the few triumphs that stayed this side of the pond. So happy to see another one reborn, from its condition when you found it you made the right choice!

[@Jesse-B]

I can see what will happen, you'll complete this beauty, and take her on that maiden cross-country voyage, and you'll get back feeling on top of the world for a few weeks. Then one day you'll wander into the empty workshop and realise you are addicted to the process. Pretty soon you'll be scouring the webs for your next project 🤣 But seriously, your skills have gone off the chart since I first started watching, imagine how "easy" the next one would be. Lessons learnt, mistakes and pitfalls avoided.

[@FanatikBuilds]

Haha, as the channel name suggests, the build is my favourite part, for sure! 😊 I'm not sure if the car will ever be 100% done, but even so, I'll be sad when there's no more brackets to be made. Here's hoping by then, we'll have the space to start the next project... it would be tricky in our current environment! Cheers Jesse, really means a lot to me 🙏✌

Gonna make a suggestion for the sprayer system. Ford Escort (late 90's-early 2000's) windshield wiper sprayer nozzles work great. The actually provide more of a mist, than a stream (like the stock sprayers on my Neon did) and are easy to find. The wiper motor system came out great, and will probably bee a reference for me for the relocated wiper motor in my S10 pickup. Hope everyhing is well with you!
