lol @ 8:55 Mrs Jeff realises you're recording and tries to not walk in to shot.

[@mehagel65]

I think the channel should be renamed to "Hand Sanded by Jeff"

[@user-oj7en8xx3g]

Or Rivet Gun by Jeff.

[@richardcampbell8685]

I can't wait to see you do the interior. The Porsche was amazing to watch.

[@johan21mp]

I'm mightily impressed with how many parts you have saved and reconditioned. It's easy to just throw away and replace, but there is a beauty in using the parts the car came with. Not to mention I think the subtle mods you have made are perfect to showcase your great work so far.

[@joshgroenewege7356]

Johan Pedersen it’s a lot cheaper I did the same for my Datsun

[@johan21mp]

Cheaper, but far more labour intensive. New pattern panels is an easy way to make your build easier, but it's also unoriginal parts, to me if a part is salvageable it should be, so long as one is capable. Jeff definitely is capable.

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

“...we start the fun stuff, sanding!” ~no one ever Well except Jeff 😜 awesome as always, that paint is going to look perfect!

[@johnd5805]

From the man who started his engine yesterday. ha I need a 240

[@amarmhaske9923]

Amazing work sir, I love to work like you....

[@SouthernEngineering]

This is my favorite build..

[@iforgotmyusernameagn]

love this. now time to clear my plans and try to watch it all from the beginning

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Once that is done, you can go back and watch the 911 from the beginning ;)

[@CerebralDad]

240 PHIL reaps his "low spot" head again! Great work!

[@reefdiver6573]

Nice welds Jeff. Looking like a pro!

[@cf5914]

Hi Jeff, I'm not sure if I've already seen that you do this, but in my experience it is super helpful to do a thinned epoxy primer sealer as the final coat of primer. Its another added layer of protection against rust.

[@jztrombone]

Great stuff!!!!

[@antoniexbrayat8758]

I think you should rename your channel here is some ideas " sanding by jeff" , "Body preping by jeff". Enougth jokes very good work both in mecanic/bodywork and filming/montage, you deserve so more viewer and for sure you you will have them.

[@VacFink]

Are you going to finish or seal those edges on the cut fenders? Curious to see how you keep dirt and moisture out. Also curious to know if the panel firms up with the flares bolted on, while sanding you can see the front fender really bend against pressure. Love the show format with Ms Jeff trivia at the end. I'm also glad you show all of the sanding as its a realistic representation of what kind of effort a good job takes.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I will put some seam sealer on the rear, but not on the front. Once the guards are bolted to the car, and the flares bolted on, they are pretty solid.

[@scottyjay692]

If Roger Federer ever became a mechanic

[@charlesmiller5078]

You make me ashamed, When I put new seats into my Z, I took the old seats, and put them into my Tacoma, but yet to actually bolt em down, but hey its only been 2 years, makes it easy to clean. Take em out, vacuum throw them back in. Dont paint till your darn good and ready.

[@dfoxdaviesdfoxdavies8901]

Jeff, I've watched a lot of your videos, for the 240Z and the 911. Have you ever thought to finish all your fabrication and welding before painting the body? Just a thought.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Watch the Alfarrari ;)

[@ruinman8722]

Great job, Jeff! One question: why don't you use an orbital/rotary like sander for sanding? Is it faster this way?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It is, but it is easy to get waves. I may use an orbital in other areas, but large areas you need to be careful to block it out with a long block.

[@computiNATEor]

Have you considered a pneumatic straight-line sander?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I have used them before, but doing it by hand has more control

[@6655nico]

Hi great vid ..... may I ask how many costs of primer and you start d 180 dry..... what will you finish with 400 wet? Thanks

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Watch tonights episode ;)

[@6655nico]

Home Built By Jeff can you not just say ?

[@gregh7457]

Is that another little hole in the tail light recess at about 5 o'clock ? 10:44 If it is it's not supposed to be there also . Looks like someone used the old style slide hammer dent puller on it many moons ago.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

There is a matching hole in the exact same place on the other side though? Have a look at 6:39

[@gregh7457]

Did the plastic trim pieces have a screw or screw hole that matches those holes? I'm thinking they tried fixing some warping in the plastic by screwing them down. Those shouldn't be there. Take a look at this. There are 2 pictures of the rear panels on this page and there are no screw holes. www.hangoverture.com/73240.htm You don't want water getting in there to rust out your quarter panels.

[@onepairofhands]

looking good Jeff. have you mentioned the colour you are doing the car ??

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Nope

[@onepairofhands]

can i suggest Mrs Jeffs Lippy Pink ?? :)

[@_Bram]

The 911 is orange and purple, the beetle blue (that looks a bit green.) I think he saves red for the Alfa. Enough colours... Maybe this car will be grey? Should be a metallic!

[@Jeroens1000]

I vote for British racing green!

[@sylvester6836]

But jeff, why didn't you try to support the bars before you painted them?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Because I am not that smart ;)

[@truthseeker8483]

All that primer sanding turned your hair grey Jeff...

[@ashuchopra6561]

I want to work with you

[@wesbeauchamp4182]

That hole is not suppose to be there.

[@truthseeker8483]

Wes Beauchamp..supposed to be a matching hole on the other side...hehe

[@joshgroenewege7356]

Matalic dark grey plz Jeff love the videos 👌🏻

[@johan21mp]

I'd say a dark Forest Green Metallic.

[@computiNATEor]

Dark colors are tricky; they can't hide minor imperfections, and with the amount of body work on this car...

[@scottyjay692]

I cant understand your wife

[@MmmMmm-vc8jz]

No one understands kiwis, just smile and nod ey bro.
