RÜNGE Metalshaping RS Build : Part 12

[@johna1160]

Chris, I've been anxiously awaiting additional videos, thank you for explaining why they haven't been forthcoming. Guessing I represent the majority of subscribers in that it is extremely unlikely I will ever get to design and fab at such an advanced level, but you make the process so damn interesting to watch. Sharing your setbacks and demand for "just right" makes it even more so.

[@TheJcman72]

Don't thank us, because we're the ones that need to thank you for sharing your passion. You molded your life the way that I think many of us followers would have love to with our own lives. So, thank you!

[@Scodiddly]

Welcome back! Glad you managed to sort out the problems, and the car does look fantastic.

[@TheOzarkExplorer]

Looking great Chris! Also really cool to learn you have your son working with you. Learning how to build cars from the ground up covers so many skills that there's not much you can't build when you can that yourself.

[@vincewheels5769]

I enjoy your honest, straight forward explanations of your methods. By including errors made along the way shows what really happens in a build such as this. You circle back, correct and move forward. A great real world example of what's involved in making a a custom part, or an entire car. All the best ! VinceWheels

What a beautiful car you are building! The mis step with the back shows another facet of your skills. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@johndeere1951a]

Breathtaking work. Love your use of Pirelli CN-36 tyres 👍👍 Keep the updates coming- more frequently please. ✌️

[@blainehalley2201]

Chris, So glad to find your update Sunday morning. Like you talking about your Son's help. The is the best-of-the best Porsche ever built! Looking forward to more updatesd. Best regards, Blaine Halley, Santa Cruz 😎

[@erniekoch8646]

Thanks for an update . Keep em koming

[@michaelthielen4563]

Worth the wait. I Feel like there is a relationship to a 1950'ish Jaguar D type to the front of the car.

I can see that as well. I slightly raised the nose shape on this car and I think that gives some of the D type feel…

[@pamdunn8454]

such an elaborate process in developing that buck . . . . . . must have been heart wrenching to be so far off because of "ride height" bummer - with your family's talent , just a few a days of time ,Thank the car gods

[@steveherring8494]

hi chris, just love the car.

[@ldelcarmen]

Amazing Chris 👌👊

[@steveshepard]

this looks phenomenal

[@ethanhegge]

RS is looking GOOOOOODDD! you and fin have put in some work!

Thanks Ethan! Come a long ways since your visit!

[@Qspecialman]

Beautiful work.

[@ibast1]

Good to see you back. I was looking forward to some of the technical detail around the mating sections. Lips and seals, etc. Particularly the doors. If you get a chance to film it with the bonnet, it would be greatly appreciated. And I don't really get why you went from a wooden buck but then also did a wire frame. Are you able to expand on that?

[@ruthlessreid9172]

Beautiful workmanship.

[@graemecraddock8846]

a work of art

[@WildWestGarage]

Really cool, 👍🏻😊

[@lkstaack74]

I'm dissapointed that I wasn't able to see the body/frame integration; I was really looking forward to see how you did it. You didn't even take pictures?

[@jschoenack]

Whoah! Is that the Slantnose we took pictures of that you had before or a different one?

Yep, it found its way home after almost 20 years. It was only driven 200 miles. We have been going through the fuel system… getting close to road worthy again.

[@jschoenack]

@ that’s really amazing! Would love to see it again.

[@tomthompson7400]

wow ,,,, if you turned the seat round it would still look sleek driving the other way . Its stunning , even at this stage.

[@royshaft]

As you shouldn’t trust a fart , never trust a computer. Car looks great !

[@rickrack78]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vlgp2931]

Given your great skills, I don't suppose you'd have much trouble remaking a 550 Spyder, for example. Your creations remind me of the cars of the 50s and 60s. Great work, even if I'm not always a fan of the design of your cars. Are your cars homologated and therefore registrable? In France, I suppose it's extremely complicated. Great Job !

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

What kind of mockups do you do? Clay, wood, or CAD?

My previous 13 builds have been wood and the “Superleicht” aluminum tube, both shaped by hand (shown in my previous videos). For this build we went through the process of entering my design data into Cad programs and had the. heck CNC routered (shown in earlier vids of this series).

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

@ If you are building them on the CAD, you could print up models with a 3D printer

@@AndyFromBeaverton We did print numerous scale versions and fine tuned them to exact specs. I’m not sure if something got off at the final round… I will dig into it after we get the car finished up.

[@charlesdonly776]

Look at that gorgeous background … can you imagine your teenage self seeing you now with a real slant nose on a lift..

If I knew a shop like this existed as a teenager, I wouldn’t have left the poor guy alone🤣

[@davidklauer3422]

If only you had about a hundred craftsman to help you pump a couple hundred cars out a year I know, wouldn’t be the same and you don’t need the headaches
