Bang up job on fabrication Marty! Just one tip, when you are bending stuff in your bench vice bend it towards the bench, the vice is MUCH stronger in that way. You are pounding into the body of the vice. Bending away from the bench you are putting all the force and pounding into only the jaw of the vice. If you watch the video you can see the vice jaw flexing a lot, and cast iron is not meant to flex. Kudos to your buddy Dave for stepping in on the wiring stuff.

Mixing copper and aluminum in the same cooling system ... that will eventually end in corrosion and failure. Maybe it will be good enough for the short term if you don't like the car and don't plan to keep it. It will be someone's problem some day.

[@woodsy900]

Not if he uses proper inhibitors

[@weegaz22]

It'll be fine if he uses a decent coolant with corrosion inhibitors and the charging system is good, if not the it'll start to do the electrolysis thing and he'll eventually have problems, but even then that'll still gonna be years down the line given how little distance MCM cars cover in mileage, and not to mention its basically a seperate system from everything else on the car, its not as if it ties into the engine coolant, so the only real issues would be the water 2 air system which you would just swap out for upgraded parts. However i do think he will run into heatsoak issues running the car on a circuit though given the rad size and core size, it would be fine for a drag car like miss daisy when its only running flat out for 13 ish secs at a time, but i reckon he's gonna heat soak it pretty quick on a track.

[@filipemsferreira]

Watching Marty is so relaxing. This is some ASMR for me.

[@sf2372]

WOW that ending.... Priceless.

[@niteshadow1]

Never thought I would ever hear a car guy say "it's too fast". I know he say "safely", but still

[@ItzOver9k]

I think it was because that Bug didn't have a roll cage or anything lol

[@JZStudiosonline]

It's only too fast because of stability or crash problems.

[@NSUGS]

I thought the bug was the one that burnt to a crisp...?

[@statementleaver8095]

@@NSUGS White s15 turned into an urn Was quite a crisp looking car. Atleast we got to hear the ECU get flashed lol

Man to have a Superbeetle pushing 360 hp would be rad. 120 hp in one is a good time with the right tires and gearing.

"Flex fuel?... no, later" you mean when the budget part of the challenge is over then...

[@jasperbradley5116]

It's also really cool to see how different you and Moog are. I think that's what makes MCM so interesting and what makes it work so well 👍

Flippy uppy headlights are a pain but turbos that do their whoosy wizzy things are just awesome. I couldn't have described those two items any better myself Marty. Well done by the way especially for editing out your frustrated expletives.
