FINISHING THE 500HP V8 CHEVY POWERED HONDA CRX! GETTING READY FOR WIDE BODY KIT!

[@CaseysCustoms]

LIKE THE VIDEO! Who’s excited for the wide body kit?!? Cus i am baby!

[@geetar82]

I am ecstatic!!!! Can’t wait to see it brother!!😎

[@davidmobley5984]

Put some 2 by 4 square stock and u can drag them 😊

[@davidmobley5984]

Nice thats cool too 😎 😊

[@bensabelhaus7288]

Be mindful around the exhaust and add heat shields if needed. Actually, those are just badass. Get some titanium ones and watch them color up over time.

[@g.p.880]

Hell yea buddy, love your style.

[@Papa-Bogey]

You should have cut a damn sunroof and poked the shifter out the opening! I loved it. I love everything about this build. Beyond cool.

[@CaseysCustoms]

@@Papa-Bogey oh trust me, me and dad was talking about it one day 🤣🤣

[@TomTom2149936]

​@@CaseysCustoms just remember what a wise Rob Schneider once said: "YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG" 😂 😂 😂 I think it still applies 😂

[@Richcitywhipz]

I think the shifter is the driver preference so I don't know why people complain, he has to drive it not them, it looked like it was hard to get into gear sometimes when it was that high, but like I said that's drivers choice.

[@knucklebustergarage3]

Dude you build cars. And trucks. Taking something and putting something else on top of it is some of the coolest stuff ever. Real car people appreciate you. Thanks man

[@CaseysCustoms]

@@knucklebustergarage3 no, thank YOU very much!

[@TheWoodstorm]

Loving this build. Still waiting for the "That was a pain in the ass" merch.

[@CaseysCustoms]

@@TheWoodstorm I’m working on it lol

[@Joshuamorris81]

When I ordered a motorcycle part Directly from Japan it took about a week before it got shipped. Then it sat at a sea port there for about a month. Then it sat at a port in California for about a month and a half before it got shipped to Oklahoma and that took about a week. Hopefully you have better luck with that body kit on its shipping speed 🤞

[@chevytech1965]

I’m loving this series. Honestly I don’t know why the algorithm never put me on to your channel until the CRX build. I watch almost all car stuff exclusively

[@boomerbassmeme]

This build just keeps getting cooler! Love that you did this to a CRX! One I always wanted to do was drop a big azz Chevy into a 1985 Celica GT-S.. maybe an idea for a build if you see one cheap?

[@homerepairguy1]

Use the bullet mufflers. You need something in there. Glasspachs, would also fit the bill, and you can get different lengths. Just saw, 4 ft long glasspacks

[@jamest.5001]

21:30 , I would delete all the molding on the side of the doors. Weld a sheet metal strip over the groove. Fill in all the holes.

[@danieljagger8466]

Casey, check out Tim Moceri's twin-turbo J-swapped V6 CRX he's helping build for SEMA.

[@johnreese3176]

This thing is amazing. Makes 300% more sense when you turn the key.

[@TomasJ.Brenes-bo4kh]

Awesome content Love the CRX build You need a Hoon stick weld the diff Double master cylinders on the Hoon stick. Forward lock front for massive burnouts Pull back to cruise sideways

[@erikfontaine2046]

in the 29mins it took to watch this, over 1200 other people watched it. Casey, you are killing it!

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

That is the coolest build ever. I wanted to do that to my 68 Datsun 510, but 35 years ago I neither had the funds or skill to do it. I also had a 74 Mack I Mustang I wanted to drop a 390 in. I still had that motor from my 65 Galaxie.

[@pacificrider08]

The excitement is infectious! I love it so far! Do a proper finish inside and out. This car gotta go to a show! Name this car, Heart Attack!!!

[@bobcaruso9849]

I did a wide body on a 72 camaro.back in the late 70s.had 70 up front and 50 in the rear.

[@davidweidner1675]

Bring back the 50's chassis swap non LS builds, please and a pinky cameo

[@JustOtto-yh8od]

18:16 LIMP BIZKIT STYLE

[@stanleyshostak2737]

It’s amazing to see the stance from when you just bought it, to how it looks now.

[@mogensvilen4638]

Hello from Sweden. I like your build. But when you see the car from the side. So it looks as if you have taken a square tin box as a scope. I had somewhat followed the rear part of the hood, made a soft bend there. And also soft bend forward and made so the scope goes all the way to the front so it ends about 3-4 inches at the front of the hood. So it follows the car's lines a little more. But that's just an opinion I have, which maybe no one else thinks would look good. But I understand that it must be a pain in the ass to do. I myself am an old car sheet metal worker. Otherwise, I think it's a great build. You have done a great job with that car, which many people probably don't understand. Good luck with your channel. 👍👍

[@Homer23D]

I had a 1988 Honda CRX like that with a Mugan kit it was bad ass I put Porsche Alloys 15x7 I had some adapters made to put them on. 1 of kind. That is coming out nice ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@Will_my65gmc]

Nice job. With all that stripping and taking the surface down to bare metal. May be worth getting something like the Eastwood Contour SCT or Harbour Freight Bauer surface condtioning tool or similar. Looking forward to seeing more of this project.

[@rickmaynhart6812]

Try running Warlock mufflers. They are dual outlet. Maybe run the exhaust thru the roller.

[@SLOW_N_LOW_63BUG]

Hell yeah! Crazy how much work goes into fabrication. Nice work! Stoked for the wide body!

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

The algorithm of KZbin got me watching your fantastic video. As a Jdm enthusiast myself would be cool if you did a V8 Miata and a LS swapped FD rx7. I know there a lot out there, but would be cool to see your taste on it. I know some will hate me on this, but at the in of the day, it’s a car and as a true car enthusiast, all should love a build regardless of what it is and the vision of the builder at heart.

[@Chumley360]

This build is awesome! It reminds me of a Hot Rod Magazine build from back in the late 90s. They dropped a 500ci Caddi engine into a Chevette.

[@JustinPimblett]

I know it's not going all steel body but it would look Mind blowing polished steel and clear coat keep up the good work love the build

[@user-pwfus]

I am waiting for that primer, Primer it for at least a few weeks before paint if not it will rust threw and be a waste of money to paint. I think this will be a wicked build when complete. Keep up the hard work.

[@LostMoneyGarage]

That's not how that works and you definitely seal a bare metal car before anything else.

[@A.D.D.O.G.]

Most definitely in my top 5 builds #1 in your vision and skills and a must watch WOW!!!!!

[@mikehensley7468]

Coming along very nice. Love the side exit exhaust. Cant wait to see the Mozy body kit!!

[@TroungTran-g7v]

Wow the engine sits pretty nice behind the axle. Before I started watching I was thinking it was gonna be so far ahead the axle that it would handle like dogshxt.. but wow, good work

[@recon_ur6856]

Love the car, And I know what you were goin for.... I just keep picturing huge tubs in the back with some 28/10.5's on the rear..... Keep up the good work!

[@GregoryJohnston77]

Man I can't wait to see this car done. Thisnis a BAD ASS build.

[@godsmizzack]

Square exhaust tip to fit that corner and it would disappear. Enjoying the build though.

[@eddietaylor9775]

I believe me personally I would've used paint stripper to avoid scratches on the metal. But it's still cool I believe he gets it right

[@joostoon]

A friend, also from 20 years ago, would say he wanted a "skyline engine in a Celica (00's), but in the back". I still don't know if that's a cool idea but it would be a feat

[@LburgVAGuy]

Perfect location for the exhaust! Save some money and "shave" the door panels. They would look cool smoothed and painted to match the exterior.

[@vbldsk]

My favorite part is seeing you get in and out of the car. It's like that Simpson episode where that tall ass dude gets out of his small car and bumps into nelson.

[@wutang5795]

This happens to be the largest automobile I can afford. Does that make me the subject of laughter?

[@mikederasmo7621]

a MAN in his garage, WITH his project is a beautiful thing !!

[@t0ph3rstreams13]

Like your design for the exhaust system and exit port is goin' good wiil have to wait to see how it finishes. It looks great all 1 color so far will have to see it with the widebody kit on it. Great build so far love the direction you are takin' this build Casey!!! Bringing the '63 back out is an exciting idea. I will be waiting for that widebody kit to come for this though!

[@Lost10mm.]

So happy for you man. Hope making a cb7 ex coupe rwd will be just as much fun. Picked up a second civic rt4wd so I may use the rear from one.

[@dedicateddriver8669]

Just subbed because I like the no filter approach, you had me laughing pretty good. And you must sing when you're not recording because I can hear it trying to come through when you talk lol you should let us hear it bro! That's great work and dedication on this build, I can't wait to see more!

[@bobcaruso9849]

I get just as stoked about it as you do!!!! Can't wait for the color????😮😊

[@nobodyspecial-d5j]

this is pretty cool. i would love to try and build that "porsche", that's super cool. just need the space, tools, and knowledge :) gonna watch that again

These cars are the best to draw, and very cool looking, one of my favorite cars.

[@Backyardbuildz]

Such a sick build!! Can't wait for it to be "finished"!! 🤙

[@Jasontodd74]

I know you aren't building stuff to win the riddler but you are a great medal fab man!!! Also if you weren't making videos and pushing for time that would help. I love all the builds going on right now so much. I love the blazer too can't understand why the videos weren't doing good. I can't wait to see this done with a good paint job and awesome wheels. You need a wheel and tire sponsor badly!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@jadielmuniz646]

Always want to see our crx Honda it's going to come out nasty math respect for you guys

you could keep the lower part bare metal and polish it up nice to match the new wheels

Guaranteed buyer soon, dope build great video

Those drum Sanders are awesome, I stripped my 94 chevy dually in a couple days and a ton of bondo

[@tawjathompson4817]

You should use teardrop tips going upward with the wheel arches. This thing is going to be sick when finished.

By far the coolest build 😎

I'm working on a 4 cylinder that's half a 540 BBC with Steve Morris basically half a 5k HP smx so it will be around a 4.4 liter 4 with twin 92s make 2500 safely on 30 psi 3500 max but this is a 90k build all billet 2 set of injectors and rwd floater rear end should be done for tx2k in my 92 eg hatch

[@BradonOliver]

Could you go up through the floor and back to the rear bumper with the exhaust? Ik it sounds stupid but if so you could Fab a heat shield to cover the pipe once you ran it. I’ve never done anything like this or with bags but Ik the floor is permanent.

[@sirdook2761]

This thing deserves a better seat. Cool build.

Heck Ya, looking great !!! I'm a civic/crx addict as you can see from my channel. Thumbs up.

[@jojofromthaburg6247]

i think the crx kit is designed for 17in wheels i have the widebody ek hatch civic its designed for 18in we used revnuts to be able to remove the kit if need be an used 3m black rubber seal for a very clean water tight fit you are gonna have to cut both front and back for the kit to be properly installed

This looks rad in bare metal. It looks rad slammed. It looks rad with an engine mounted longitudinally that is 3x bigger than what used to be in it.

[@Wiindigo]

Chop top would be crazy on that thing

[@daverupes7022]

Not sure if you realize how good some of the added comedic edits you do are 🎉😂 super rad car build obviously but that editing is on point too

Use an Augger exhaust. It can weld inside a 3-inch pipe!

[@kash1151]

Deep down inside everyone who loves v8 always wondered what a v8 red Honda would be like. Crazy build love to see the work

[@CaseysCustoms]

I think so too lol

[@williamquinones2870]

Just wondering Casey seeing how the wide body kit changes the CRX's look wouldn't the hood scoop look better if you extended it all the way to the front edge of the hood. Food for thought

[@clintonsomner5378]

Absolutely nuts bro, love it!!

[@mitch_lifeoregondayz2449]

I'm thinking put the exhaust out of the bottom of the hatch, ie. Make the exhaust go into the interior and put the back, would look badass, great project, I'm a motor away from starting mine, 1980 Datsun 720 king cab, more than likely I will be getting an ls3

[@mitch_lifeoregondayz2449]

For more exact placement, the exhaust should go right on the sides of where the hatch closes, there is perfect spot for it there and won't interfere with the hatch

[@arthuroconnor8474]

When the car is finished does it go for inspection before it can go on the road and what does it get insured as? Genuine question 😊. Thanks, keep up the good work💪.

[@donlandenberg8126]

It's a cool build. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hey Casey, if you ever decide build another CRX maybe a mid engine layout would be cool. 🎉
