Restoring 100-Year-Old Headlights | Homemade Boat-tail Speedster Pt. 64

[@forthwithtx5852]

Never miss an episode, no matter how far in-between. Fantastic work on the headlights!

[@Crewsy]

Looks great Vince. They were definitely worth the effort to save and compliment the car very nicely. That mirror paint may work better using an airbrush but it works pretty good applied as you did, especially considering the condition of the buckets. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@djjmsimon]

Those lower level lights would be great daytime running lights. Great work.

[@darrellbedford4857]

Great rebuild. They look and work great. I just hope the high and low beams don't overpower the turn signals at night. This build is joining Project Binky and Fanatic Builds in the detail that you are going through to accomplish your dream car. Keep these episodes coming no matter the time between them.

[@ordinaryguy1638]

Attention to detail is next level.

[@CaptDesmo]

This is ultra-Hot Rod/Post Brass-Era/Pre- WW2 awesomness!!!!

[@floydarrendelo6414]

I have never been so excited for someone else's car. Reminds me of those old B&W films.

[@papawheelie5835]

Your loyal fans, myself included, don't mind the wait between episodes. Your work is exemplary and well thought out and the results are always amazing.

[@chuckdeyo291]

Thanks for posting the video. You explain things very well and I will always tune in regardless of the time between videos.

[@machinist5828]

I had just been telling my 38yo son about you and the car you had been building. Glad to have you back!

[@elkoposo686]

Some great info. and tips, as always. I hope your doing fine in your studies and work life and great to see another video from you. Best wishes from the North east of England.

[@Vladimirehh]

When I saw new episode i was like "FINALLY SOMETHING". Love your work.

[@TheMisterpino]

Those logo's man... just awesome. Great technique and the result is insanely good!

[@JacobASwanson]

It's surprising what a guy can do at his kitchen table, even if he's not near his shop. I've been there, done that. Lights are looking great, keep up the awesome job!

[@clintonfaraon9646]

By far my favorite build of any car, I will watch every single video until this thing is done. The amount of skill and how meticulous you are is unbelievable. This car would be easily worth 6 figures if not more. Do you think you will ever take it to a track or is she for show/street driving?

[@tjtobin86]

You have a real gift my friend. I know you are working for space x or nasa or something but you could definitely work in a hot rod shop or restoration shop. Thanks for bringing us on this journey!

[@Vikingwerk]

Everything you build impresses me!

[@garrickmartin7707]

your project is something dear to my heart. I have always wanted to build a car based on an xk engine. Power to you . I will follow this project to the culmination. Keep 'em comin'

[@Nderak]

glad to hear from you again!

[@brycejeannotte7699]

Great job on the headlights. I loved the rolling pin trick. That was a lot of steps but the results are stunning and well worth the effort.

[@280zone]

Beautiful lights, well done. It sounds funny to hear you say "We'll just send it". Not your typical approach :)

[@frankjones4094]

Brilliant! As any proper headlamp should be. Good to see you again. Here's a tip. Model car builders spray that chrome paint with an air brush when they're covering larger area's.

[@danijuggernaut]

Finally you're back. I was missing you. Great job!!!!

[@spinafire]

Welcome back! Looking great! 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidapp3730]

That was a great job restoring those headlights. They really fit the style of the Speedster. That was soft solder you were using not silver solder. Silver solder melts at a much higher temperature.

[@chrisallen2005]

You don't know. Were you there helping him when he did the work?

[@grd4381]

I love your channel and especially this build. I’ve watched every episode and wish you much success in your future. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@stephenwhite5057]

Most enjoyable video and so much skill. Thankyou for posting.

[@johnglennon5018]

Aways impressive work, great job on the headlights.

[@boldorboy08]

fantastic work. Now I've got to go back and see where all this started. Looks like an amazing build.

[@PKMartin]

It's worth waiting this long for an episode if you're going to do aluminium restoration, brass restoration, electrochemical etch new badges, mirror paint and glazing putty all in the same video. Part of what makes this channel great is that you never pass up an opportunity to learn a new technique

[@ronsherfy6291]

Your attention to detail is top notch! I’ve been following you since the tank build and I am always impressed with you work!

[@jonasbjork6593]

That car is so beautiful! Please make it road kegal in the end. I believe I speak for the whole car community, we want to see you and your car at all meets!

[@Cannedpsycho]

A very solid job!

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing, always interesting!

[@garygenerous8982]

Dude, don’t worry about the time it takes between episodes. We understand that life gets in the way of fun at times and as this video shows they are well worth the wait. Absolutely love those headlights and especially the brass plaques. Beautiful work and I am looking forward to the next one when ever you have time.

[@godfellas483]

I'm sitting out a heatwave here in the desert. It was a nice surprise to get a MacroMachines notification...! Nice work! I wonder if that silver paint would have gone through an airbrush?

[@dogtiredguitars]

So great to see an update here! Hope you're doing well!

[@motorunion]

Vince..are you sand it and polish it a 100+ Years headlight in yourDorm ???? Ma you are a trully legend!!! lol

[@kaleufarias7705]

31 minutes of pure joy

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

It fits the time period very well. Nice job!

[@justinlarsen2011]

So good. I can’t count how many times my mind has been blown watching you build that car!

[@tr4v15_Lives]

It's great to see you still at it!

[@mikeomalley9511]

Always impressed. Where's the "Micro Machines" bagging!

[@xozindustries7451]

Your ingenuity never fails to impress me, great job

[@TomChame]

Excellent, thanks!

[@SmokeFlame1]

Imagination, creativity, craftsmanship, authenticity, art and much more; it's all in this video. A pleasure to watch.

[@handyandy345]

Fantastic restoration.

[@jackpledger8118]

Great restoration and good to see you back once again.

[@patmclean1951]

Those lights are epic! Love the cloth wiring!

[@bigredc222]

Wow dude, they look like a million bucks, like they should be on a Duesenberg.

[@1175ld]

I thoroughly enjoy the videos on the speedster. Your ability to accomplish such detail on the whole project is a joy to watch.

[@bryanstotts3466]

One of the best channels on KZbin, hands down.

[@pks41805]

I am in awe.

[@marlobreding7402]

FYI, you can use a heat gun to loosen the bedding compound. It's made with linseed oil, and like crystallized honey, it reconstitutes with heat.

[@N-Scale]

Glad to see progress and hope work is going well. Mike

[@loetzcollector466]

Thanks for going with the cloth wires. Any time I have an old Art Nouveau lamp re-wired, it's a must.

[@mironeko3820]

Outstanding!

[@wrenchpony9735]

Those turned out great. Specially considering it was all done in your living room 😅. The cloth insulated wires look perfect and period correct! Great work man 👍

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Great work Super attention to detail, Love them !

[@danarbuckle6640]

Great work as usual!

[@Viking2dk]

Favourite KZbin series by far. I was wondering, what are you going to do about a radiator? Will you be making a custom one that fits perfectly? That would probably be challenging, but look really, really cool

[@janq-h8139]

Beautiful as always, most impressed

[@thercbarn5001]

Wow! I'm speechless. Mike c

[@turbosubisandman7174]

Awesome job, the lights fit the car so well. Thanks for sneaking in some time for the speedster

[@michaelerickson1518]

Exquisite looking headlights, nice to see the 2000 grit complete the finish

[@rjung_ch]

They look great alright. It's really nice how they turned out. 👍💪✌️

[@RustBucketYT]

It is wonderful to see you’ve posted again. What a nice surprise this has been! Thank you Macro.

[@IR-nq4qv]

the headlights added character to the speedster, perfect choice brother and a very decent restoration.

[@netfoot]

So glad to see this episode, and to know that the Speedster project still lives! Lovely job with the headlamps, by the way.

[@johnaustin6649]

Another stunning episode that just showcases your attention to detail.

[@Shiryas]

Excellent job on those lights they look fantastic, these 'little' details add a lot to the look. Thank you for the detailed video, and hope things are going well with your new life/career

[@hubertbelden652]

The lights look great 👍

[@maxramsey]

Excellent field expedient tools. Excellent field expedient workshop. Excellent field expedient materials. BTDT, LOL. And, of course, flawless technique.

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

Beautiful work as usual

[@whatchacookin1096]

If you are still doing your internship, I hope a great company picks you up. You will make an awesome ME/PE.

[@flattankjourney6962]

They look fantastic. Well done.

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Fantastic job as always. You have learned so many old trades building this car and all your other projects.

[@69dblcab]

Always great videos. Excellent restoration of the head lamps. As others have suggested amber turn signal bulbs would be great. IF the correct type bulb in amber is not available you could coat the bulbs you have with stained glass paint. Thank you for the video. Eagerly and patiently awaiting the next installment. Enjoy life and be safe out in California.

[@retiredman]

WOW you did an amazing job on those headlights they look awesome. Very impressed thanks for sharing 😀

[@nicksimadis2086]

Exemplary work! Those headlights really brought some life into the look of the car. It just looks proper with those headlights.

[@smartin2174]

Amazing finish as always! This is just so great to watch! I can't wait to see the next one.👍

[@paulmyfinger8272]

Excellent work as always.

[@chiefairsoft8277]

It's great to see another video for the roadster ❤

[@MrMoosefire]

Fantastic job as always. Your ingenuity and ability to simply get past problems others would quit from is amazing to see. I love this channel and look forward to every video posted

[@stevenfarrall3942]

Stunning

[@harryheaton1185]

Welcome back....

[@jerriwebb8031]

awesome to see some progress it will get there

[@MrZooking]

love this journey, not just the Speedster

[@evdoby]

I admire your effort. I hope you get to take your creation around Indy one day.

[@barryjackson8512]

Fantastic video as always. Well worth the wait

[@wolfparty4234]

Really nice work. I love the way they turned out.

[@MASI_forging]

Fantastiuc job. That's so cool👍👍

[@johnbero4987]

The high standard and attention to detail is always a pleasure to be observing on this channel...Kudo's to your skill and perserverence.

[@lennym1636]

They fit the car perfectly, I think you did an outstanding job on them...

[@JimWattsHereNow]

Great work, they are awesome

[@jimfuller395]

Talk about a pucker moment when you popped the glass out.

[@raynyhus2026]

Very cool and period correct. Nice job.

[@carlholm5558]

Those headlamps came up amazingly! I actually shouted "Wow!" when you switched them on! One day I hope to see this car on the road or at a show somewhere! It's a work of art!

[@jtreg]

a masterclass! Simply gorgeous, well done, sir.
