Pro tip for climb milling, slightly tighten you X table locks so it drags and keeps the endmill from grabing and jerking the table.

Well, as for livery designs, the 1991 IMSA RX-7 matches the Michigan plates!

[@floodo1]

Classic, simple yet elegant

[@jylp4u]

That kinda also looks like a BMW theme. It looks good, but I would probably go with a base color of yellow, the hood, roof, and wing would be natural carbon, and above the rear wheels would be the Dahm logo from the OG shirts but in red letters. I think that would be pretty iconic considering the history of the Rx7 and the fact that it'll be doing a hill climb. It's so iconic that I'm willing to bet people will know where this idea came from without me having mentioned it. Oh, and if I had to pick which yellow, I'd say the Diablo yellow. If I didn't do anything with either of those ideas, I would cover the car in that test car camouflage lol.

After blasting have the body powder coated. Ppg makes a powder epoxy primer. I had my c10 cab done after the cage and race car non sense was done, total game changer. Outside was done in primer, great base for paint job. Inside was all done gloss white, no dry cage tubes, super durable.

[@jiujitsumonkey1]

I'm always amazed there aren't injuries on this show. As someone who is a metal fabricator for a living, watching people not wear gloves, or safety glasses or other things a lot of the time when they're cutting or drilling etc, just makes me wince man. Y'all must be way luckier than me

[@robertsthought3755]

@@eriklarson9137 I'm not a KZbinr, I don't film myself at work

[@rotaryperfection]

Rob, moving the 20b back is exactly how this swap should be if you wanna maintain factory balance and polar moment. I simply left the stock subframe bolted on to keep alignment and cut up and removed the back half to drop in the engine. Then I beat the hell out of the firewall to round it out to make room for the bell housing to slide back. Pounding the firewall was how Autotech did it years ago so I just copied them. I finally just built the rear half of the subframe to fit it. Was super easy without building a whole new subframe however, I wish I had enough room to fit the Mazda racing dry sump front cover. My engine sits behind the stock rack with 1/4" clearance. That's how I did mine. I was also able to relocate the shifter into the front compartment on the stock fd tranny. Year later, I bought a T-56 out of a 2005 CST-V with the tripple cone syncros. This transmission has a pedestal type shifter housing that I was able to move forward to stock interior position. I've done the mockup for fitment but haven't fully installed that tranny yet. You're gonna love how much better the FD handles after moving that engine down and back.

[@brytonmassie]

Isiah truly is the fab daddy, that shit is a work of art and the car is feat of engineering proving people can have dreams this big. Good job Rob.

[@Not_Ferrari]

If you're doing the dry ice sound deadener removal again in the future you can use acetone with the dry ice to freeze the sound deadener faster over a larger area.

Dude I was hoping one day you would start completely over and go insane with this chassis. Excited to see everything! I was wondering where you were dude! I just hope you don’t rush this build too much so you actually get it to a completed stage. You build some of the gnarliest cars, but when you take your time and check all the boxes magic can happen. The skills, imagination, and hard work of you and your team deserve it.

Hold up, is that a wedding band I see on Isaiah's hand?! Congrats brother!

[@curls6542]

Bit of a tip, if you are going to climb mill on a manual machine, apply the 2 table locks. This will help with the table slop. Conventional milling is best on manual machines.

[@eriklarson9137]

I was already planning on attending pikes peak this year but your entry sealed the deal. Can’t wait to see the 3 rotor fly by Devil’s Playground!!!

[@RDSAlphard]

I'm glad you stripped the 3-rotor to bare metal to rework, because it previously had dodgy patch work on the rust.

[@Ezra0]

awesome video can’t wait to see move on your journey to pikes peek. 25:50 please tuck in draw strings on the hoodie when using the grinder I ve seen some ugly pictures of things that happened when those two collided

Just FYI when you got Pikes peak you can practice a good amount pueblo motorsports park. It's a track where there's not a lot of danger to go off into and they have track days every Friday all day and will it open it more for Pikes peak week.

I really like the fab/building edits with the music, its sick. Nice work.

[@bobbyj045]

Watching yall work and create these machines is amazing.

[@aserta]

Move the work piece to the far end that's the least sloppy on that table. That said, you could bring the slop to manageable levels depending on how worn (saddle style) the mill table ways are. IMO, worth taking that table apart just so you can clean decades of grime and schmutz out. While you're at it, you can figure out where the slop is. On that kind of a mill, you don't need to be hyper precise about it.

[@MotoMeat]

So glad I subscribed to your channel, the vibe is right

[@STICKDOGG82]

Rob I am such a huge fan of what you’re doing… and the process is so much of an inspiration to watch… this has given me such a deeper appreciation of what it takes to be a true gear head!!!

For removing sound deadening use air duster and spray it upside down to freeze it and break it off

@@mke723 I'm used to the tall stand-off wingnuts you see on valvcovers. Done a ton of off road racing, and dirt gets everwhere, including in the zues clips. Only takes me about 2 sec to remove each wingnut. (breakthe torque with the wingnut, and then use the stem to quick spin it off.)
