Saved this episode to view this evening with a glass of wine. very relaxing to watch. Love seeing it come together, and your lateral thinking and solutions to problems. Looking forward to the next episode and intrigued as to your ideas for the dashboard and door tops. Top work dude!

[@oakswamp]

cheers wayne , hope you are good dude? x

[@elkoposo686]

Bish - Bash - Bosh! Great build ethic, that's been missing from Rodding for quite sometime. You'll remember the Low Flyers and their take on building 'fun cars'? Sadly, that's gone all 'correct parts and wide cheques books' now. Do you know cheques are still the most authentic form of money, as banks have to 'honour' (like 'they' honour anything but their own increased profits) them. Unlike those 'phucky' promissory notes and coppers that aren't even copper hardly no-more! Lovin' the builds, the cars and the 'Properbilly' sounds. Onwards Bud! Onwards...

[@oakswamp]

nice words cheers dude..👍

[@mikeclarke6110]

good to see you back on the rat, body coming together great - love the thicker ali plate you're using on the bulkheads and i think the ready made paintjob will look very cool. its gonna look fantastic and can't wait till next episode

[@oakswamp]

Thanks , body seems to be pretty straight forward ...so glad i got the battered ally ..hopefully it will look like its been in a hedge for years😁

[@darrenbeattie1298]

Man, shes taking shape. Keep it up. Always look forward to the next video.

[@oakswamp]

cheers ...appreciate your support dude 👊

loving this series

[@oakswamp]

[@jimcarroll7829]

A totally different construction method for an alloy body and also an unusual body style but ,damn ,it really works.i have to say that previously I never really got on board with the whole rat rod concept but with this car it really does look good.

[@oakswamp]

thanks for the great comment...I try to be sympathetic to how cars looked back then but "rat rod" gives you the artistic licence to push the boundaries a bit further ...its a balance i suppose... 👍

@@OliverPickard my thoughts exactly ...we are all in this together man👌

[@lars-eriklundin1230]

I'm very impressed with how you shape everything. Built a copy of a Lotus Seven from 1989 to 1990 and tore my hair when I was going to make the body. The frame was a bit of a walk in the park but shaping the body work was difficultl. Can´t wait till episod 18. Ludde Swden

the first bit went round a treat....i was surprised, the rest and mostly the bonnet remain to be seen ! thanks for your comment 👍

I like the build and presentation ,great music tracks.Have you thought about electrolysis and corrosion effects between steel and ally in contact and when damp?

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude, i will most likely to be putting rubber between the two ...more for preventing rattling but should stop the ally becoming an anode 👍

It's really starting to look like something now! I love hillbilly engineering. Being a bit of a North woods Minnesota hillbilly myself, I have been working with more time than money for years. Clever solutions and hammer marks are so much cooler than catalog bullshit.
