Making A Custom Firewall for the Bibbster Build

[@davidr4332]

The Bibbster Steelster looking fantastic .

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Really digging the direction this build is heading.

[@tommygunnz7154]

It would be a ridiculous amount of work. But if the quilting was stitched with copper wire 😯 Great work! looks killer coming along so sick!

[@firstname3078]

The firewall looks sick! It was a good call going reverse quilted. This thing is really coming together as you fab up all the little cover and trim pieces.

[@TheMick26]

Hello Kyle. I've always been a fan of the bead roller and all that can be achieved with it in the right hands. That quilted effect looks amazing, buddy!😍 What you said about a lot of people hiding the work is spot on. I love that people like you and Jeb Greenstone choose to show the work, actually showcase it in all its glory, imperfections and all.👌 It even makes the casual observer stop and take notice that this is not an ordinary, mass produced item... it's a custom one-off and should be appreciated. Well done, my man!👏 Have an awesome weekend!

[@forrestwiley9866]

Lookin Good..the 2 piece Firewall is a smart idea, the Quilting sets it off. Thanks for explaining your proceses as you go. I know it takes time but anOld viewer appreciates it. lookin forward to your next video.......:}

[@RoyPainter]

Being able to see the work takes you on the complete journey and tells a tale of the build. Love that and really admire your work, it inspires me. Thanks for sharing the journey.

[@gwg240]

now THAT was a nice touch

[@bcrx7]

I think most people don't realize how many hours it takes to do that firewall and all the sheet-metal work. It is looking great!

[@davidzimmer2694]

Beautiful work. I agree that we are human, and we strive for perfection but ultimately our soul will show. Nice quilt.

[@3literheater]

Looks awesome!!!

[@calebvines3966]

The quilting makes it pop. Awesome accent piece.

[@canadaplace2be176]

Nice fab! Remind me of trophy truck!

[@pbmachines972]

We’re all used to seeing the Bibbster in a shop wait till you see it on the street👌🇺🇸👍🏻

[@deangraves9757]

Nice quilt good choice of beers also cheers

[@cecil6711]

Great progress on the Bibbster!!! See you at PITS. :-)

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

Who said Friday the 13th is bad luck.. Fab Forums FTW. Good morning 🌞 that "quilting" looks so cool!

[@gregbowen9546]

I just used a skateboard wheel for the bottom wheel on bead roller and made the top skinning die on my lathe to do my quilting. Skateboard wheel works really good, just have to drill out where bearings would go so it will slide on shaft of bead roller.

[@Thefabforums]

I need to get me one

[@stephenclark8260]

The roof would look.good quilted like fire wall but with rivet the roof on . Bib looks wicked so far.keep up good work son

[@jimallen199]

I've been watching this build from the beginning I just love the way this project is evolving

[@philbetthauser9547]

Fantastic work sir!

[@rafatrill]

That shit is badass!! great work and video keep up the good work, god bless

[@carlwhite8225]

I love the Quilting , am so going to do that.

[@ltseven]

Nice work son

[@Fabrication101]

Killer work on the quilting. I always wondered how that was done on a bead roller. Lovin the build, keep up the good work.

[@universalfrontend7754]

You have sooooo much talent! Thanks for sharing it :)

[@twinturbocoyoteftw]

Always showing off those mad skills! I'm gonna need some metal work on my coupe now!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Bad ass! Loving the crosshatch!

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Damn... that looks TIGHT !!! Nice work man...

[@jenky1044]

That quilting looks amazing. I always wondered how they did that.

[@chris_b_liven]

Sweet Vid 🤙

[@ryanhines719]

Good stuff man! Working on the shop tomorrow. At a stand still til we get the shop organized and arranged enough to get my car in. Prob a couple weeks worth of organizing the shop lol

[@shanewright6958]

Great job and it's really coming along nicely 👍👍🇨🇱

[@hoganmaughan3273]

It's nice that you're thinking outside of the box on the quilting! though i will say that i can't help but be partial to the look of traditional quilting design :-/

[@shotsrodder]

Looks good 👍😎

[@ArchersGearheadGarage]

inspiring!

[@ez68eldo]

Everything is, ah,. basically the way I want it... I love this fucking guy.

[@christianhotz4414]

Killer content , proper car build love it 👍

[@joeleefinn8091]

Hate to say it but the quilting backwards (with the lines out) looks just like it is, backwards. Reverse it while ya can on this totally a$$ kicking build from an extremely talented builder.

[@bryanperry592]

It would be awesome to see you cut up a mustang hood and make your roof from it. Maybe redo that back “trunk” panel with one too. I believe it would tie into the rest of the factory body lines and give it a bit more “factory” flare. With all the bead rolling that has been done up front and on the inside I believe the back looks too plain compared to the rest of the car. Don’t get me wrong it’s crazy amazing work and it will come out absolutely beautiful no matter what you do but just some ideas to roll around :) good luck and best wishes. Been watching with anticipation from day one of the build and can’t wait for the next update!!

[@georgejosephhaigh7725]

Great metalwork exspecly with the Quilting adds a touch of class to the firewall very nicely done , a lot of work but worth it 👍👍👍 😈☠⚡☠👍✌✌

[@ThatV12MiataBruh]

Dude you're so creative with your designs

[@mebeasensei]

Amazing.

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from West Australia, Kyle🙂 Recon I better wait a few hours to do work. Current time 10.31pm. Like where this journey is going buddy.😉🙂👍👍

[@TheMofoManiac]

NIce skills man, that's some good work.

[@michaelfuchs5034]

Cheers...! Fools to day is Friday....! YES

[@malcolmyoung7866]

There will be those that will question the reverse quilt look. That’s good. If people talk about it, it means they are ‘engaged’. I think it’s ‘cool as’ and totally in tune with this build. Has given me some thoughts about my van.. it’s a heap... Kyle has your head roller Always been powered or did you convert it yourself? Some serious skills...

[@keithparady2594]

Damn good work

[@91frankenstang23]

Wow! First time I’ve seen that quilting done. Looks bada**!!!! I wonder how uncomfortable it woulda been to do this design into your seats? That woulda looked pretty sweet!

[@WildXNatur]

How about quick lock tabs that you push in and turn 180° to lock???

[@FabRaceModRepeat]

Reverse quilting. Nice!

[@bigpuppytools4295]

Quilting looks very cool, another great video thanks Kyle, go do work son

[@glassblastcollision]

Looking at it again maybe 2boxes.:)

[@pgscirocco16v45]

You know at the end of the video there was a blue marker on the tire and I could see you adding some titanium to the build I think that could add a modern touch to it maybe the boost pipes

[@hookshotrods7161]

hi Kyle have you thought about using the speed clips on the bottom of the pannel i think you used them on the center console

[@randyz1616]

So with the trans tunnel being welded you can't remove the cab anymore?

[@turbolaser24]

Beast!

[@bryanroupe8646]

Hey man if you make another cowl panel I will buy this one. The only cowl panel covers I have found are a 3 piece and I don't like it.

[@Chad_N_Stacey_Hopson]

20:13 DID A MAN JUST SEE DEREK'S "WHATCHA-MA-DUE_FINGER-DANCE" ???? (DEREK FROM VICE GRIP GARAGE)

[@cbrock442]

Reverse quit ! The difference is in the detail!

[@legacyautofocus]

Sharkhide keeps the metal from rusting?

[@frankm8533]

Cant wait to hear it fire up some day! I was in GA when you posted the crewcab for sale if I had any way I would have bought it for sure. Any hits on it?

[@whickedreamer]

Get a GEN-Y Tow hitch for the GOAT

[@andrewnorwood3288]

Lucky 13th!

[@cuciollikustom0642]

Do you work in your shop just per hobby ?

[@matthewfleming4229]

How do you bead roll without distorting the metal? Mine always twist and won’t stay flat.

[@kriswithak22]

Flatten it after every line you run than you are doing it to small distortion not waiting until the end when you have a lot of distortion. The process will always cause it so flatten back out often.

[@tracykouns4903]

Tim Lyons racecars makes a in car brake master that goes in the car from the factory ford brake master spot it’s such a much cleaner look

[@rushjunior7249]

Do a rag top roof

[@cliff4695]

If you could somehow get a sharkhide representative to see this, they might back you on this build

[@Thefabforums]

Kinda already have....the guys at the sharkhidestore.com have helped me out a good bit.

[@cliff4695]

@@Thefabforums they recognize good work. That's awesome

[@2KidsConTent]

Always wondered how nothing you have gets rusted over the months.

[@zebfolkesson8183]

when are you going to weld it all up

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

The pleats look dope. I dig it. However not trying to be a debbie downer or a hater. I think the pleats look has been kind of played out a bit. It seems like everyone is doing it. Having said that just some constructive criticism. Doing some speed holes layered with a back plate would have looked dope. Could've brought some of the design ques from the seats. Just my opinion. But it's your car build it your way

[@cliff4695]

Let's go!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

18:20 Ha .. talk about not perfect .. you should see the stuff I'm building ... I'll show ya not perfect. LOL

[@soundman_caraudio]

Looks bitchin brother 👍👍

[@Thefabforums]

Thanks man

[@andreastabb2891]

What type of bead roller is that? If you don’t mind me asking?

[@TheTontomtoofat]

For a second I thought the side of your hat said "0.13 GPA"

[@markpersaud5768]

Make a small hood over that fire wall

[@gearhed78]

Looks like it got ran over on the road while laying on top of some diamond plate.

[@oikkuoek]

If you would've done it the right side up, it would've worked as amazing accent. Now it looks like it's fitted the wrong side up. Originality is one thing, but aesthetics follow strict rules. It's either ugly or beautiful.

[@BUZDRIFT]

Dude, Clearcoat is way better that Sharkhide, with sharkhide, you still gotta re apply it now and then, it really doesn't last "several years" especially if you actually take your car out of the garage and drive it!

[@andrecardoso725]

👀🇧🇷👏👏👏

[@Gadget-Tree]

Why don't you give your 4 legged friend a pat on the head or something . Second video i'ved watched . The car isn't a living creature , what's up ?

[@masterfabricator]

You need new gloves my friend 🤔

[@realf1rme]

Bibster is gonna be one ugly car and a bunch of fab mettal to waste..
