Porsche Truck Conversion Is Basically Done! (Insane Transformation)

[@Revolt2bfree]

3:41 Porsche factory worker here. Can confirm that's what we do. Our ceo is gonna be so sad seeing this get out

[@The.Rad.Factory]

The secret is out 😆

[@RadFactoryGav]

😂😂😂 sorry for releasing your industry secrets

[@immilu]

Lol

[@ridelowandslow]

I’m only at 9:57 but had to stop to comment. I recommend a Wolfbox dashcam/rear view camera. I have the G900 in one car, and G900 pro in the other. I personally recommend the G900 NON-pro based on my personal experience. But I also have the 900 rear camera inside the car looking through my rear window, with the 900 pro mounted outside on the other car. I get heavier “starbursts” driving in the dark with the pro, but would absolutely recommend them for this build, as you could mount the camera on the rear plate, or however you choose and it could be used with or without the camper. Thanks for your time guys, good luck and I will keep up with the videos when I can!

[@The.Rad.Factory]

I’ll for sure look into it! Definitely need something to help hooking up the trailer!

[@motorcodeunited]

Saw this in person yesterday and I give these two guys huge props. Taking on a project like this and learning how to do it as you go is a huge undertaking. SEMA CRUNCH IS REAL. LETS GOOOOO!!!

[@RadFactoryGav]

Heck ya thanks man!!

[@MIKEH.777]

Great job guys, keep up the fantastic work on the truck conversion. God bless you guys and your families. The Porsche Truck looks amazing. 👌 😊

[@HumancityJunction]

It would be fun to take it to a porsche dealer for an oil change, but do not make any mention of the modifications.

You should definitely go to the dealer before you put anything in the bed, And try to see if you can get them to order you a replacement tailgate... Lol

Saw the first video of cutting it up on Facebook and immediately came to watch all five parts on KZbin y'all did a great job hope to see it wrap sooon 🎉

[@AutoalexCars]

I’m VERY excited to see this 😍

[@thcriticalthinker4025]

Most vehicles have a third brake light around the rear window, trucks would have it above, would have been nice to see for a more factory look but it's probably not necessary and a lot of extra work. that sheet metal definitely could have had some texture rolled into it for more rigidity but it turned out really sweet!

[@RadFactoryGav]

Hoping it will be in the tailgate

[@aheadachewithpictures]

I've really loved this series so far, lookin awesome

[@JoshuaSolanes]

Gavin's willingness to just jump in and figure it out is amazing, this is an awesome project and I love how it's coming together!

[@RadFactoryGav]

Much appreciated! It’s always the best way to learn, just jump in!

These two are killing it! No doubt in my mind they are going to turn heads at the show. If this is what they are capable of I cannot imagine how much they will continue to think outside of the box and amaze me

[@ryintel]

On the wrap, consideration: Blue and Orange Gulf Racing wrap. Everyone will stop to look at that. Personally I would not do a camo or some wrap that’s too distracting or to act at as camo, let everyone see the lines and work you guys did.

[@RadFactoryGav]

You aren’t too far off the idea honestly

[@Official.Elliott]

I can’t believe it’s only been 2 months feels like yesterday the first cut was made! Can’t wait for the wrap to be on it! Great job gents!!!

[@AA-zv6yo]

Hope theres a tailgate coming, would be amazing to see a stamped sheet metal (like willys or early jeep) that says "Ferdinand porche". That would be over the top amazing😂

[@RadFactoryGav]

We are definitely doing a tailgate! This week we start.

[@MDTAR15]

I've built a few customs and had to "create" a panel for a rear pick-up style window ... if you use 1/4" x 1/4" square tube and weld in to the inside of your window cut out about 1/4" from the edge, its will prevent that "oil canning" effect and keep everything from moving. once that 1/4" square tube is put in place, you can attach it to the other structures inside the cab to make it more solid. Hope that makes sense. That should also prevent having to make those relief cuts. Maybe i missed it and you did something like this, but i didnt see it. Right, wrong or otherwise..its fun to watch you guys go through the process of building something like this.

[@RadFactoryGav]

Nope that is definitely what we should have done though

[@bigospig]

The idea of this build started me watching. Now I keep coming back because it's like that car wreck that you just have to watch.

[@RadFactoryGav]

😂😂😂hilarious

[@gh0stm0nst3r6]

This is crazy guys! Impressive is an understatement. Love to see you two tripping out over it near the end. Phenomenal work

[@RadFactoryGav]

It was like Christmas morning

[@georgiiliev89]

I know you probably have some color in mind already, but i think the GT3RS purple would be sick for this build 😊

[@RadFactoryGav]

That would be so dope!

[@Revolt2bfree]

Damn. That camper is so sick and it looks so bomb on the porschup truck. So excited to see another build installment of Making Dust with the Bondo Boyz sponsored by HEPA air filters, n95 masks, and the American Lung Association.

Excellent Form Gavin, No notes

😂😂hilarious thanks!

[@jorgeantonini201]

You should have installed a frame for the rear window Made 2 bars all the way across left to right and then some supports up and down by the corners That will stiffen up the back so it won’t vibrate nearly as much and give the window some support

[@RadFactoryGav]

There are some on the back but I am curious if we need more.

That came out really nice! Awesome job guys. I’ve been wanting to do this to my Outback, but with a del sol back window that rolls down.

[@zavatone]

I hate to tell ya after the fact but for the back window, you could have coated the edges with Vaseline to make it release easier and then use a detergent like Dawn to dissolve it after wiping most of it off.

[@krisenr]

Man, you guys did an amazing job!

[@Timothyboland1995]

Take it to the dealer for sure! maybe take it for a oil change and have a dashcam with battery backup in the car to get a bit of audio and video when they take it into the shop.

[@RadFactoryGav]

😂😂😂 the dash footage would be amazing

[@nguyen925]

Love the hard work! Definitely down to see what the porsche employees reactions would be once its fully done!

[@tacticooldennis]

You can tell the importance of the cuts based on the improved quality of the cardboard template. I know its too late now, but it would have probably been better to fold over the sheet metal on the window down so you could double the strength and stop it from waving.

[@The.Rad.Factory]

Yes I wish we could have figured something like that out

[@RadFactoryGav]

That is a very good idea for next time lol. It ended up pretty strong

Dude , hell yeah guys , this came out way sicker than i was thinking , and i was with ya thinking it would be rad , but damn even radder than expected and not just blowing smoke , from the vids , this looks immaculate. And like the perfect size for someone who needs the extra room , but dont need a full-size truck .. and the ability to go up or down with suspension and still look proper either way .. right on, guys , mad respect .. now im curious about the wrap because the black looks good as is 😅.. and yes, on try to trick the porches stealership would be rad fam ... peace and love all, keep it rad, stay safe, and build on.. l8r famz and keep having fun

A nice touch would be to clear the fog out of the headlights. How to: 1. Rub toothpaste all over the headlights every sq cm. 2. wait for 30+ mins. 3: wash of toothpaste and done. Blinkers on the mirror covers would be nice too and costomizing the headlights and taillights will be a cherry on top.

[@fixer1972]

First of all, I don't understand why you can't wrap bare metal, I would love an explanation. As for the paint job, I thought the light color primer was a better color. I can't wait to see if it'll haul a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood plywood. Sidenote, from your thumb nail and title, I expected to see a late 90s F150 with a Porsche motor. Nice surprise, by my definition, though still a car(El Camino/Subaru, Brat). Very cool nonetheless.
