[@rickey5353]

The most beautiful car I've ever seen. Excellent design.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thank you!!

[@yolocah]

I went to my daughters pictianary and looked up the word talent , low and behold there was a picture of you. you make everything thing look eeeasy. What a great design

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

LOL!! Love the humor Christopher :D Thanks!

[@stanleyfanning5316]

Don't worry about the purist, it's your car. Bad Chad that lives up there with you doesn't worry about it. Your a 1000 times better, so we know it's going to look awesome.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

I try my best!

[@vetteguru5722]

Thats so true.....Nick plays in a whole different arena...no contest!

[@shotsrodder]

Metal magic 🥹 love seeing you working with your dad 😎

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

I'll try to get him into more of the videos. He's a little camera shy.

[@shotsrodder]

This is going to be a sweet ride 👍

great job

[@alastairmckeown6590]

Loving it, she's really taking shape now .Roll on the summer Nick.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Really hope so Alastair.

[@brianfilozof6300]

Yes it was called a "trouble light" in N.Y. when I was a kid but, you had to make you had a case of bulbs on hand as if you bumped it into anything at all the bulb would blow. Must be why they called it a "trouble light". Liking your take on a classic shoebox custom.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Cool! Thanks for the thumbs up Brian!

[@brettemerich3237]

If you are manufacturing this panel this fast you are incredible with such precision nice

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thank you, I try my best. To see more metal shaping check out the custom '40 Ford Hardtop Coupe we built a while back. kzbin.info/aero/PLoGxMo4C-CHauZzbGLW4_nufczEBIFb35 Thanks for watching!

[@jthiessen8514]

love this build, the attention to detail and skill level is insane!!! amazing job!!!

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Glad you like it J!

[@whittlerdave1440]

Amazing workmanship

[@ronaldhackett7979]

Back in the day we called them Trouble Lights cause if you bumped it on something it would blow the bulb. I love your show you have great attention to detail and you explain what and why you do things! Very Refreshing! 👍🏽🔥🚙📺💯

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

I try my best. Thank you Ronald! 👍

[@josephhamilton1547]

Anticipate each show, love it so far.

[@hickeyskustomresto]

Nice work 👍

[@rivenmotors7981]

Never heard of "trouble light", guess I'm in the minority. We just called them "work lights" because we're always working on something when we need them and hoping they work! Fantastic fabrication, Nick, you are blazing through this.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Cool! Thanks!

[@g.o.b.2558]

Looking good 👍... We called them drop lights...

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

I like that!! Thanks for watching!

[@glennroy2747]

Trouble light here in Nova Scotia too, and my friend set fire to his garage and his 33 Plymouth when gas dripped on his light bulb. He was lucky to get out in time. Garage and car have been rebuilt now.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Glad to hear he came out OK! Scary!!!

[@chriszucker7500]

Killer...loving this build! I always learn something watching you. Car reminds me of the Forty-Niner concept car Ford built for the Detroit Auto Show..circa 2001ish?

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Yes, they built 2 based on Thunderbird platforms. A black and a burgundy one. I recall seeing them on TV when they came out. Thanks for the thumbs up Chris!

[@lencampa9049]

EXCELLENT visionary on your build 👍 wow !!! never seen a vehicle old put on a newer vehicle frame. and shape all that

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks Len!! When you get a moment check out the Custom '40 we're building - same idea different style.

[@charlesjones750]

Love where this is going. Great work

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Much appreciated!

[@joell439]

Nick, as much as i should know better by now, I'm still so impressed by your design and metalworking skills. Just so pleasing to the eye. 👍👍😎👍👍 Yes, in Arizona we always referred to them as trouble lights. Can't tell you how many times I have seared the soft skin on the inside of my biceps and forearms on the trouble lights metal shield while slithering around under a car on a creeper. 🤣🤣 Damn, I can see why the easy-bake-oven could cook food with a 100W bulb.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

BBQ Joel! LOL! Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@viggoclausen3809]

Amazing job, I really love the work, great skills.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thank you so much 😀

[@charleschastain4228]

Still digging it

[@Kroombit]

Trouble Lights are also called Trouble Lights in Australia.

[@masterofnothingfabrication]

In newzealand in my day it was most certainly a trouble light yes. Still use the term today myself even for my led. ...beautiful work learning some great tips . Many thanks

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Glad you enjoyed the video Nathan!

[@russelljones5294]

thanks for uploading another video Nick. this is a fantastic project. it's great watching you work. thanks for sharing your metal shaping knowledge, these videos are very helpful to a beginner like myself.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks! I try my best. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[@vetteguru5722]

You're gonna upset the purists with this design man! 😅 Love where you've taken the lines..looks so cool!

[@frankschwartz7405]

There are shoebox purists? They must be really boring.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

They don't need to look and we did this old girl a favor if you consider what we started with. Thanks for the thumbs up!!

[@cennsa140driver]

Yes, in upstate NY area we called them trouble lights. Maybe because you were always replacing the bulb after you dropped it. I still have mine on a retractable reel but with a LED bulb in it.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Retractable reel - I like that!

[@martinpook5707]

Some times less is more... but very often too much is never enough. Excellent, I enjoyed watching, high skills are always good to watch, the licence plate opening isn't big enough.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks for watching Martin!

[@per-olavrask4715]

Like steel sheet wizard 👍🏻

[@kaddleman4294]

Absolutely brilliant design and very informative watching you fab it. BTW they were trouble lights in SouthAlta in the '60's

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Cool, thanks!

[@4david8]

I like watching your succession of you build on the 51. I have a 50 shoebox with 49 and 51 parts added to it. It's shaved and decked 3 panel blue pain, with a Boss 302. Keep up the class looks good.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Right on!! Thanks for watching David!

[@stephenwhite5057]

Super skilled work.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks 👍

[@flatworm00]

It never ceases to amaze me the armchair car builders and their input...

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

LOL! 👍

[@LaughingTerry]

50 years ago in Nebraska they were trouble lights. Drop it on the floor and then go find another light bulb. LOL

[@farfromdonemotors6796]

We always called them drop lights and yes it was common practice to drop them

[@danpickett9103]

My Eyecrometer thinks your 86 degree tilt is the same on both sides. Not mirror image. I know you're in Canada and gravity may be different there, but your Eycrometer might make you lean a little when you get it outside and look at it. I love your videos. You're making me want to add a Shoebox to my long long list of projects. Cue suspenseful music!🤔

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Hey Dan, the same guy who calibrated my Eyecrometer must have calibrated yours, yes Sir! You read that right. I wanted dem parallel with each other. And as for that 4* angle - since this ol girl is being built as a driver - it's to compensate for when the car is driving down the street... you know how the road has a crown in the centre... making the features vertical for when a fella is following from behind LOL!. I really appreciate you watching and supporting us.

[@danpickett9103]

@@iNVisionPrototypes Keep having fun, Nick. I literally laugh out loud. (I started out thinking LOL meant Little Old Lady) This is one of the best compound reverse curve how to videos I've seen. Cue riotous applause.

[@davidsears6187]

Yes in Texas we called them trouble lights

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

Really Nice. The cool thing about you not building it the way I would is it will be one of a kind. And we get to go along for the journey. Plus, I get Ideas to finish mine. Somewhere between classic custom and modern custom. Unfortunately, I will not be driving by the summer but maybe next summer.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

I think that's the whole idea of a custom car and there may be things that you do/did to yours that I wish I did to mine. :D Thanks for taking the time to watch!!

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

@@iNVisionPrototypes Would not miss it!!!!

[@darwinfoster7420]

You got that right about troublelites they also commonly burnt you .

[@timwight9471]

In Montana we called them trouble lights but when we bumped them and blew out the bulb we called them something else.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

LOL!!

[@kwikslvr73]

yeah....would like a dime for every time I have burned myself on one of those "trouble lights" !!

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

lol!

[@dominosgarage]

Great video. It's crazy how you and I are so similar but so different. I was brought up with more of a "body man" approach. You are a true craftsman. Makes me mad at my mentors. Was more of an autobody upbringing. I aim for your skill set.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks!

[@kwikslvr73]

glad I found you...really great video. I'm a newbe to the english wheel, could you mention which anvil you are using for various shapes your making for the car? thanks

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Hi and welcome to the channel! Don't over think the wheeling process. I'm going to generalize a little, but most of the time when I'm wheeling up a panel I'm using the lowest crown anvil(not the totally flat one). kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3ak2pnna-rr5Y Check out this video and it should get you going for most of what you want to do. The rest you will learn as you roll. Biggest thing is to pay attention to what is happening as you're wheeling. When we built the body for the custom '40 Ford Hardtop we shaped over 40 panels. You can see the journey in the M40C playlist. Any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers! Nick

[@fixinstuff9662]

I remember a fast food place using Mozart to keep the riff raff out. You'll need to build your cars with white glovesf if you start that.

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

lol! Thanks for watching

[@edkattera3674]

In western pa we called them trouble lights The car is looking great

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Thanks Ed!

[@donbarton1895]

call them trouble lights in California. Why don't you use kliko pins instead of screws for temp holding panels together?

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Gotta box full.. on the shelf... LOL!! Just prefer screws. Hope that doesn't make me less of a panel beater! Thanks for watching Don!

[@MrAw1950]

Great video once again Nick Reverse curve portion was especially informative . Question , instead of using the wheel for the initial form could a fella use a pipe anvil or does the inflated tire do something more than a pipe anvil would ?

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Yes, absolutely! The inflated tire simply bends. Thanks for taking the time to watch. 👍

[@patrickchristie82]

Yes. Trouble light.

[@ronaldhackett7979]

You said you wanted to be driving the car this Summer. If you don’t mind me asking how long have you been working on it? I started watching 3 or 4 episodes ago. 😀

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Yes, I hope so. We really got rolling on this project last December. Check out the playlist when you get a moment - has all the previous episodes plus one when I picked up the car over a year ago. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@kennethstaszak9990]

All the "special" people called them trouble lights.😁

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Some call me a 'special kind of special'... never understood why LOL! 👍 Thanks for watching Buckshot!

[@chriszucker7500]

Yes..Trouble Light. How the heck did we ever see anything back then using those lights??

[@glennbevan8743]

If you over stretch role and stretch the middel

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

👍

[@michaelerickson1518]

You should hide the the license plate behind a panel that is only see through when the car is running

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

That would be SWEET! Perhaps in a future mod. They're always a 'work in progress'. Thanks for watching Michael!!

[@dennissheridan1550]

I must disagree with you, the shoebox Fords have been hot rod and custom material since shortly after they were introduced, as were the same period Chevy's of that period. BTB I'm a few months short of my eightieth and been a car nut for as long as I can remember. Take care.😄✌

I still call it a trouble lite ... I guess if your not gonna graft '59 Caddy tail fins on it's the next best thing ... don't forget the hole for the backup camera ... you gonna suicide the deck lid? ... don't forget I called shotgun for the '40 test ride ... lookin good ...

[@iNVisionPrototypes]

Caddy fins...suicide the decklid with a rumble seat ;) now that would be a badazz custom! Hmm... gotta be careful what we say Joe. LOL!! :D Thanks for watching and the reminder for the backup cam 👍

you correct the overstretched panel by using photoshop?
