I've binged through the entire series over the weekend and I just want to say Lou, these videos are incredible. As an automotive engineering student and apart of an FSAE team it is so awesome to see the detail you are going into and subsequently how much I am learning from it. You have definitely inspired me to continue slowly collecting more tools so I can work on my own car and hopefully one day purchase a project car alike to this and go through a complete restoration, it seems incredibly fun and rewarding. You deserve 100x more subscribers and I'm sure you'll get there! Keep up the great content, I am excited for all the future videos to come!

[@LouTrottier]

Thank you very much. Keep collecting those rooms and generating those skills and you will indeed one day have the car if your dreams. Cheers. Lou.

[@michaelanthony1537]

LOU LOU LOU!!! I was freaking out when the grinding, cutting and welding started...the paint!!!!! Then you showed the covered finish. My nerves... Great work as always...10!

[@LouTrottier]

LOL. thanks.

[@georgeryan603]

Terry is tough , great to get his approval. Well done Lou .

[@LouTrottier]

Thank you George!

[@MrJdubbya36]

Knowing how 308's looked from the factory he probably took a point off because your welds looked too good!! Anyone who's looked under these cars knows what I mean!! Good job!

[@LouTrottier]

I do know what you mean. Thanks!

[@themessenger5868]

Nice job Lou...I really enjoy your skills and your humour. You know a 9 from Terry is actually a 10 in the real world. Cheers.

[@LouTrottier]

haha. yo may be right. many thanks!

[@howardscott7521]

If you made it this far without a major surprise, you are doing OK. Usually happens faster and more often, lol.

[@LouTrottier]

this is very true. thanks!

[@john4x477]

Ha ha always a laugh mate. "Drain politician" works as an alternative. That socket move, was genius....Really appreciate your vids.

[@LouTrottier]

Drain politician. That’s what I meant to say. Lol.

[@christopieterse198]

You have to love Italian 80's cars. Lou, I feel your pain, but it looks good.

[@LouTrottier]

lol. Thanks.

[@benzina5917]

Nice job Lou. Always advancing. That engine will be in and running in no time.

[@LouTrottier]

sometime in 2022. thanks.

[@sylvain.robichaud]

As I like to say (mostly to my wife, who always complains that everything I do takes too long!), IF IT’S WORTH DOING, it’s worth DOING IT RIGHT! Great video Lou!

[@LouTrottier]

many thanks.. cheers!

[@craighearn747]

Progress progress progress. All good and certainly something to be giving Thanks for. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@LouTrottier]

Progress. Yes yes

[@armedferret]

To quote Dr. Peter Venkman, "What a lovely singing voice you must have." :D Loving the progress!!

[@LouTrottier]

many thanks!

[@markwarren7959]

Gozer would be proud.

[@LouTrottier]

@@markwarren7959 LOL.

[@timgosling6189]

The only thing I would have done differently would be to use the radiator itself as the final buck for the new support; that is after all what's got to fit into it. I guess it was away being checked. Result does look better than new!

[@LouTrottier]

many thanks.

[@craighearn747]

Cool pirate hat. Those were very nice patch panels you made. No box cardboard and utility knife cuts here. I assume all interior parts of the entire chassis will have some anti rust applications when you are done. Here in Los Angeles we do not have rain so not rot here. I sure that was exactly how they formed the originals. It would have been a 10 if you got the metal from Italy. Rookie move,🤑

[@LouTrottier]

haha, Rookie move indeed.

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

Nice work!😀

[@LouTrottier]

Thank you sir!

[@WildDigger]

Great work... 👍

[@LouTrottier]

thanks!

[@timtroke]

We need more Terry!

[@LouTrottier]

LOL, I agree. He's temperamental. sometimes i can get him on camera, sometimes I can't.

[@petecroxford3277]

I’m going to give you a 10 that car is going to look stunning keep up the good work it’s going to be worse🇬🇧🇬🇧🍺🍺✨✨🌟🌟🏎🏎

[@LouTrottier]

Many thanks. Cheers sir!

[@u3b93]

Hey Lou, for a moment I thought I was watching StanceWorks channel, cutting and fixing the yellow 308! Wished one day you guys, StanceWorks, Heidi and Franny Garage, Tr3Wrench and Car Wizard could do a nice long road trip together. I have not forgotten Number 27 and Ratarossa, but they are on another continent!

[@LouTrottier]

Many thanks!

[@nathanbenich9204]

This is a good idea. In fact, why not make it a Meetup event and invite all the subscribers. Just a thought. Cheers!:)

[@LouTrottier]

@@nathanbenich9204 maybe someday!

[@Anti-Static_Matt]

It looks awesome. Great job, I'd be thrilled with a Terry 9 😁👍

[@LouTrottier]

haha. thanks

[@joelaurieri9065]

Using sockets as forming dies .. great trick ... need to remember that. did u consider going to an aluminum core rad to help with the sporadic overheating issues with the 308's.. to heck with the purists ...lol When restoring cars especially Italian ones ... there are always surprises.... Part of the process I guess Keep up the good work ... Restoring old cars is always a test of patience

[@LouTrottier]

if it over heats then I'll consider a rad and fan upgrade..till then it'll be the stock units. thanks for watching.

[@muskokamike127]

Weld thru primer....yea or nay? Some swear by it some not at all....just curious what your take on it is....

[@LouTrottier]

Tried it. Don’t really care either way

[@muskokamike127]

@@LouTrottier One of the youtubers I follow sprays everything welding that will be inside, added protection on top of the cavity wax after. BTW: after this video, make sure you let us know when you're going to Amelia Island or Pebble beach lol....at this rate, you're right, episode 308 will be you mounting the seats hehehehe

[@gustavogarza5081]

Project 308!!!!!!

[@LouTrottier]

Exactly!!!! Project 308! Thanks for watching

[@brokenbonegarage8910]

God job Lou, I'm doing a restoration on a 72 Vette, you sure are helping me more than you think. Oh, not a band but there's a ''greasy fingers'' you tube channel, guy restores car and pretty good.

[@LouTrottier]

glad I am helping a wee bit. cheers.

[@jonathanohagan1349]

@5:02, i like to think of it, as... more content, yeah.

[@LouTrottier]

woohoo!!

[@ClarkandClarkInc]

Hey Lou, Love your series and look forward to each new episode! I see you are getting around to installing new hoses. The front lower is a royal PIA to pull every time you do a coolant drain (nice "shower" lol). I make a really slick drain valve for exactly this hose. Would you like one? I tried posting a link to it, but my comment disappears so I'm thinking that link must be breaking the rules? I don't know how to send you a PM? Cheers, Robert

[@LouTrottier]

Send me an email [e-mail]

[@nathanbenich9204]

Holy smokes. How much coolant can be hidden in this vehicle?!? Episode 308? Lou, you should name this Season 1 308, Season 2 308, etc. From my perspective, you get a 10 out of 10! Cheers!:)

[@LouTrottier]

Many thanks for the 10 out of 10.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420]

'Raddiator'...where are you from? I've not heard that pronunciation before.

[@LouTrottier]

Canada

[@craighearn747]

When you said you got a surprise today my first thought that it was the title, whew, glad I was wrong.

[@LouTrottier]

lol. thanks

[@craighearn747]

[@craighearn747]

Hey Lou, as you progress on this build how are you planning to address all the fires that always seem to happen to these cars. Are they from failed seams on gas tanks, poor fuel line shielding, Ferrari fuel line fittings or some other cause. Might you be installing bladders in lieu of 40 year old gas tanks? It would be interesting to know your process, given the value of this car in money and your appreciation of the platform how about an on board fire suppression and fuel line shut off. We want nothing but a very long life for your collectible.

[@LouTrottier]

Hi Craig, as far as I understand it, the majority of fire problems were due to leaky rubber hoses. Since every piece of rubber is being replaced on the car. But if I could find a bladder I would not be opposed to that, but I don't think I will go as far as a fire suppression system. Thanks

[@pi.actual]

Yup - 18 liters of coolant in a 308. I guarantee you there's still some in there. Tip: put a petcock in the heater hose to make it easier to drain next time. As an American I always wait in anticipation for the time you might say that you've been "oot and aboot " ha,ha) d;-)

[@LouTrottier]

Hahah. Good idea.

[@jmhofmeyr]

So I got a question...can, or have you ever heard of someone who dipped and electroplated an entire car chassis to protect it inside and out.

[@LouTrottier]

Dipped yes. Electroplating not sure.

[@TheRado777]

Lou you know you never you get 10 from Terry his 9 is like 10.5

[@LouTrottier]

So you know him then!

[@patrickdixon4945]

You have to have an Italian name to get a 10.

[@LouTrottier]

Wish I had known that. Lol.

[@billbrisson]

Terry must be the Russian Judge

[@LouTrottier]

I think so!!

[@georgesbonellodupuis8245]

Hahah He wants a 10 .!!!

[@LouTrottier]

doesn't everyone. LOL

[@Rod990ktm]

The US bumpers are ugliest thing made to cars. Keep the euro look. Like Pininfarina designed

[@LouTrottier]

Agreed!. Thanks.

[@bryjb10]

As a stupid American I giggle and cringe every time he says RAD-iator 😂😂. I never heard it pronounced this way. I’m gonna start using this from now on and see if people throw shit at me. 😂😂😂❤

[@LouTrottier]

RADiator. colour versus color. lol. its a Canuk thing.

[@123grimmboy]

How bout some gloves and a mask to go with that angle grinder......Health Canada 🇨🇦

[@LouTrottier]

eventually yes.

[@franswijnands4022]

what disc do you use to grind

[@LouTrottier]

Brand name is worn off but it’s a diamond cutting disc. It was expensive.

[@franswijnands4022]

I can only do such a disc for brick

[@franswijnands4022]

paused the video the brand is lenox
