Making Custom Fender Flares for the 1959 Renault - Part 2

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Diff, great to see you back in the shop.😊 I'm not embarrassed to say I was quite concerned for you. The best medicine is a positive attitude and cuts and burns from doing the things we love. Keep at it my friend!😊

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks! A good dose of humor is also good medicine 🙂

[@josemsantiago7524]

Great video, you make it look easy. You have some mad skills!!!!

[@EventTrooper]

Like the reference to KBW - a great guy and lots of fun down at the pub when I lived in Perth WA ...

[@ratrodsafrica]

Just knew someone from down under would remember him😄

[@sharndupreez1]

Never in history Germany and France got along this well! 😂Epic! Lekker Div!

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂👍

[@paulwier7005]

Diff, Just a suggestion... What ever makes you HAPPY. Have you thought about converting the Renault to a two door? Moving the pillar rearward would make so much easier to get in and out of... Also would open up the pillar blocking your side vision. Cheers. Paul

[@ronjohnstonaustralia2417]

What a great idea !

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

"four doors more whores" ???

[@g-man7938]

I totally agree.

[@Rat_Poison_Devil]

👍

[@allancox1457]

Definitely would be better all around as a two door

[@CharlesColeman-m2h]

Its great to see you getting better and doing what you love.... May God bless you..... Awesome metal work on the Renobug

[@jessehermosillo8116]

MR DIFF so glad to see you in the shop, your time off did not slow you down. Your a real master ,I'm sure future rat rodders are learning how to do great metal work because of your great videos.Great work my brother,stay healthy. HAVE A LACKER ONE; Jesse

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks Jesse!

[@aceadman]

Ha! Thx for the shoutout 😊 You’re most welcome my friend. It’s a cheap price to pay for the entertainment you provide. I ALWAYS look forward to spending time in your shop and all the lessons, explanations, and wisdom. Another great episode! I’m loving this project. (As I have all your work). That fender grill is a fantastic touch. As is your new leather work! Be well Div. 😊👍👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks my friend!

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

Now that's cool looking. Muscle bug means businesses look. You know kids will just love this car. Good idea this project. Well done. 👌 🇨🇦

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks 👍

[@charleslawrence7194]

Looking good Diff. Two door idea was cool but I am digging the little four door.

[@coathanger51]

we have seen Ian Rousse;l the four door to two door thing but I really dig the four door thing, it retains the character and aura of the original Renault, kinda like a sleeper, and a lot less work for a rat rod... just saying... I guess I just might be an old fuddy duddy but... ... ...

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yes, I also feel the 4 tiny doors is one of the things that make this little car unique.

[@kensteffes6712]

The Renault is a great looking little race machine.

[@andrewharrison8782]

When working in Broome West Australia, we had a customer with the personalised number plate DILLIGAF, it took me a while to ask what it meant. Brilliant motto

[@ratrodsafrica]

Cool!

[@TheIIOM]

A work of art in metal.

[@ericg303]

The little car is coming along nicely. Good to see you back in the shop. Amazing how being creative and making something helps to restore the mind, body, and soul.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Best medicine!

[@NewRiverRepair]

Thanks for the video Diff! I am glad to find such a talented friend in the forest! Good stuff!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks!

[@paulhinnebusch2447]

Love the sign!!!

[@samsonmtx]

She’s taking shape now, excellent stance, on cool wide ass rims!!..🤘😎

[@Afrodizyak47]

I thoroughly enjoyed how you did this and the edging tool lesson. Your f... cancer sign is a positive message to all of us whom have suffered this pernicious disease. My son in law has just receives news that he is Stage 1 and starts treatment in the upcoming week, with a highly positive prognosis. Keep fighting it my friend.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Please give your son in law my best. The medicine he must add is hope, a positive attitude and a good dose of humor!

[@Afrodizyak47]

@@ratrodsafrica With me as his fil, there is no shortage of that lol.

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Thank you and may you get well soon

[@Kenny_Ded]

She's starting to look bad ass now, Diff. Can't wait to see her all done.

[@betacam235]

'Going for a SCAN...' I like that, I should get regular scans, am certainly the right vintage.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😄There comes a time in a man's life...😁

[@rdmeenach]

This channel Diff is just delightful. Music, projects, personalities, I just love it. You are an artist. One of You Tubes best. Thank you.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Wow, thank you! Quite a statement, not sure I deserve it though 😊

[@TheToolmanTim]

Looks awesome. I really like the fresh air ducts on the front of the rear fenders.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Me too!🙂

[@Grizzmakes]

DILLIGAF Yes. But of course there is also FIGJAM which you prove every week. I am enjoying every report you make. Thanks as always. Moerse Lekker Boet. I will drop you a few pics of today’s work on a bell housing I scored yesterday. Chat soon.

[@laurensmith1828]

😊 i had to watch it again. Im going to widen the rear of my 41 chev coupe. Great tutorial Diff!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad it was helpful. Thank you.

[@bradpage8967]

She sure has an aggressive stance now!! Looking good Div!!

[@davidclare955]

It's nice to see you back in your work shop the car is looking great diff

[@rattedbug5003]

The rear looks sick.

[@argee55]

Love the flared fenders. Sorry about the cold weather. My shop has been in the triple digit’s lately. So we are the extreme opposite.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Send some of that heat my way😀

[@robbollom7396]

well done Div, shes looking good now...enjoy the SCAN

[@TheSandman614]

Love the update to the wall sign! Keep up the exercise but make sure to give the staff adequate breaks.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Gotta keep our eyes on the staff though. Don't want them to slack off too much😁

[@tedayer1823]

Enjoy your nap. My knees are shot and they hurt just watching you use yours for bending. Beautiful job, it is looking really good. Keep up the good work.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Luckily my knees are still hanging in there!

[@jerrynickell3613]

Really like the results of the fender flares! Can't wait to see the next steps! Great work in spite of the thinness of the metal. Enjoy your SCAN!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Anytime I wonder if it will work, you never cease to amaze me, you are a Fabulous Fabricating Phenomenon. Hahaha....but seriously.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂👍

[@gazzafloss]

Hey Div, that nice "hippy, hip job" job certainly made me happy. Happy for you to be back doing what you love doing, happy for us getting to spend some time in the workshop. Looking good, Cheers mate!🦘

[@frankschwartz7405]

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks 👍

[@alfbittner6489]

Lekker boet, love those fender flutes, adds just a little bit of being.

[@TheOldaz1]

Not the way I would have done it, but sure looks good. Nice work Div and great to see you getting your health back.

[@robertwilliams8010]

I love all your builds, but this one is super cool Dif!!!!!! The stance reminds me of a dirt track Legends car!

[@brianhaw9398]

The renobug looks awesome!

[@g-man7938]

You have awesome skills man, wish you a speedy recovery. Keep up the great work.👍

[@Mustsed]

Crikey I envy your agility ol' mate, my 76 yr old knees are f**ked, arthritis everywhere else . . . fully understand the effort to carry on regardless

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah, blessed that the knees are still hanging in there🙂

[@308SS-Smith]

Hi Diff, Yes your quant little french car is starting to look VERRRY COOL and somewhat rally carish...all that's missing now is a large rear wing or maybe a Porsche style whale tail , but now visibly one of a kind. Great work 😊 Cheers Trev

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks Trev. Yes, definitely getting the rally look. I think we need to add some black rally stripes!

[@corvuscornix9845]

I m french and I love it ❤❤

[@chrispanetta1098]

Love the rear fender air vents !

[@nboldrini]

SCAN....Ha ha! Love 'em and "can't get enough of that wonderful stuff!"

[@ratrodsafrica]

😁👍

[@jamesdisney9150]

The one thing that blows my mind about this car is it has four doors. which is crazy how small it is. but it’s starting to look pretty damn cool.👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yes, one of the things that makes it unique. It's smaller than what most people think🙂

[@surikati]

Great job Diff, your method of work is awesome! I am your fan from Brazil👏👏👏

[@ratrodsafrica]

Muito Obrigado! 🙂

[@carlstephens-tm7zj]

Hey div , you should see what full mud discs with rat rods logo might look better than the baby moon hub Caps?

[@homesteadgarage9405]

Thanks!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank YOU, brother! Appreciate your support!

[@class27]

Really enjoying this series Diff. The Arches have turned out nice, sometimes 4Cv can look like a Bulldozer with wide front arches. I think tapering them off front and rear was the right decision. Have a look a a couple of my Vids for some wide Ass Renaults

[@ratrodsafrica]

Absolutely agree with the bulldozer statement 😅 Where do I see your vids?

[@williamproctor898]

Diff you do amazing work. I like the different things you make to help you to do such great work 😊😮😮😮😊

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you so much 😀

[@oldrevhead4686]

well done Diff ,keep up the good work,old blokes like us,that worked hard all our lives,deserve to take it a little easier now.cheers kym Australia

[@joaquinsablan5406]

As always, Your Great my friend! Love watching all your videos, you're a smart man! Keep on doing what you love to do forever, may God Bless you and your family! Take care till the next Video! ✌.

[@russelblackwell6041]

Can't wait for some bodywork when you fill in the small imperfections and get to primer paint stage. Outstanding video Diff as usual

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂 Not in my shop, mate. Shiny paint just causes stress!
