[@ianhardin1148]

LOL, Tig Welders and their shade throwing! "Mig welders eat LAST!" Happy birthday John, thanks for giving US the present-more Ficarra content! And the next time you need a go-kart transported just reach out to the Ficarra Fans!

[@FicarraClassic]

Thanks! I still love my MIG but the TIG is certainly a welcome addition.

[@ianhardin1148]

@@FicarraClassic I am a total complete newb to welding, just bought my first machine (its a multi process) so I am excited to learn all the techniques!

[@1963neil]

Happy birthday, John! Merry Christmas too, while I'm at it. Thanks for being you.

[@FicarraClassic]

Thanks! And Merry Christmas right back at you!

[@MasochistGarage]

The best porsche content on KZbin. Awesome watching the progress and having this gem saved!

[@FicarraClassic]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@mattramey2022]

Love this, John. - It's ridiculous and it will be THE showstopper at all the events when you pull up.

[@AngelRivera-i3m]

We got hi expectations with this project keep moving forward.

[@TeamHybridRacing]

I've had my hands on that go kart! I raced the Orange Citgo kart at the Backyard 400 :)

[@CaptainRex-sl4xk]

Thank you for the video 😊 happy birthday

[@cookinginthedark6768]

Thanks John!

[@ksteak27]

Happy birthday, sir! However I'm afraid it appears that you might be too tall to fit in the limo when it's done.... unless you install a sunroof. 😂😂

[@FicarraClassic]

Thanks! And we are going to install the rear seats onto the floor, so plenty of headroom. Of course we need a floor first!

[@leddygee1896]

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! So looking forward to the restoration of the Limo... Turboman?😁

[@AE86Matt]

That go kart is terrifying!

[@ianwynne764]

0:19 Hello John: Firstly, Many happy returns of the day. Good luck with the head studs. On the episode of Top Gear where the Stig drove the Lotus 72, I can remember James May saying something the about 72's torsion bar suspension being easier on the tires in slower corners. I have owned 3 VW Beetles so I know all about torsion bars. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

[@danielarndt284]

That Go-Kart is a deathtrap lol, love the content John, Merry Christmas!

[@vercopolis]

Professionally, one would use a TIG welder on aluminum. A TIG is way better at controlling temp. , type of filler and speed one is able to feed filler into the melting pool. Aluminum is great for conducting heat, hence the reason manufacturers make heat sinks out of them.

[@AE86Matt]

Can’t wait to start doing aluminum!

[@Zzus321]

Great content, Happy birthday 🎉 Please do an update on Brocks Truck.

[@Mark-M72]

Happy Birthday 🎂🎂

[@FicarraClassic]

Thanks!

Thanks!

Torsion bars/beams are used a lot in tanks because they are so simple and compact for its specs, but its "tough as hell steel bars as springs" nature tend to make ride harsher, that's why it's rare in cars.

[@jensenhealey907efi]

All Jaguar E-Types use torsion bars for the front suspension as well. I have never heard of people claiming those ride harsh as a result of that.

[@murdoc6501]

Great update on the build! She's coming along nicely! The go-kart is super rad! Any thoughts on what the McQueen 917 will go for when it crosses the block? Go Ficarra Classic, keep moving forward!

[@FicarraClassic]

Thanks! Hard to say on the McQueen 917. If past sales are any indication it will be north of $15 million. I don't think $20m is impossible. We shall see!

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Unlike Frankenstein's monster, the Porsche limo now looks far greater than the sum of it's parts. Thanks for catching us up with this great Christmas update...on your *birthday* John. Question: Is that a door from Johnny Ongias' Interscope Porsche 935 hanging on the wall?

[@BillyBranco-t7k]

The sword in the stone!

[@MasteG46]

Happy birthday !

[@KMerse1]

What is that 60s singleseater tube on the wall visible while you were talking about spot-welding? I hope it will become a car one day as well :)

[@FicarraClassic]

It was a gift from a fan. Still haven't figured out what it was. Certainly old since it has a radiator in the front instead in the side pods. Someday we'll find out!

[@stormsurfin]

cool

[@zx1100a1]

Hey John 👋

[@FicarraClassic]

Hey!

[@GetUpFalcon]

Really interesting car. How were the sills extended? Using factory panels?

[@jensenhealey907efi]

After having seen one at a friend's place that there are 911 go-karts as well. If you search for that on your fav search engine you will see photos of those.

[@corywright3401]

Guys...y'all seriously need a louder output ..better mic or something

[@FicarraClassic]

Working on it! If you look closely my mic gets knocked off when I'm playing with the control arms. Nobody noticed it so we made due with the audio we had.
