I never believed you'd be able to achieve the OEM look you've been saying you wanted, but after seeing that hood in full primer I'm absolutely a believer. It's wild how natural that looks!

[@HarmfulBacon]

It truly is amazing

[@emil3672]

Yet I find it just as amazing how little there's left of the original car

[@dukie1616]

That guy fabricating the hood really knows what he’s doing. Good job bro!

[@doofykouki494]

It wouldn’t be Rob without the abrupt ending 😂 love the progress! Been here since the beginning!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I've started playing a game where I try to cut off rob without missing any of the video 😂😂

[@ahfreebird]

The bluest of balls.

[@blindassassin111]

The second it went on the car at the end was so beautiful. Being able to see ahura as a car with a body again was so special. Can't wait for more updates!!!

[@funkymarco4411]

If you told me it was just 1 hood and not 4 i would have believed you when i saw the end

[@TheBreadlord]

Rob mate, I watch a lot of CarTube and I'm always mad happy to see you post. Respect to most other YT builders, but they're meatball welding tabs on then doing mediocre resprays and you're out here with a half hour video on engineering the perfect bonnet and I am totally here for it. Your enthusiasm is infectious and may the four rotor never get finished, coz I love seeing the progress.

[@TheMarcQ]

Compare the bank accounts of said people you will get why that is.

[@TheBreadlord]

It's not about money. If Rob had $11 he'd still be trying to do things properly. And hell, look at the big CarTubers now - suspect they overtook financially Rob a while back, but they're still doing kinda janky builds.

[@threadtapwhisperer5136]

Rob does always take care to redress the mechanical balance of the automotive universe. The car would have hurt him racing the Hoonicorn, had it not know the love and passion behind the build. The balance has been restored, RX-7 sexy curves achieved.

[@dadi2450]

@@TheMarcQ there is no way adamLZ or Cleetus Mcfarland have less money than rob, he's poor in comparison. so again, not about money, its about focus and dedication.

[@Zrakow]

@@dadi2450 thats why he said what he said… they keep doing the «janky» builds because they generate more money than something like the 4 rotor does

[@MiguelGonzalez-gp2zz]

Love to see the progress on the 4 rotor, seeing some pulls when all the bodywork is done will be sick

[@dylanzrim3635]

[@estamnar6092]

You better start now then. 30 comes quick my guy.

[@doggothedog7744]

From an untrained eye, it looks stock. Which is a testament to these guys talents. Good stuff.

[@CapnFlappyJaw42]

It honestly does look like something Mazda would have made if they made the longer, wide body FD like this. I really can't wait to see what the full carbon hood will look like!

[@lilboi630]

Dude, they did an amazing job with that hood, looks almost factory, cant wait to see all the panels done.

[@trackandstreetracer7359]

Please keep the long videos. We love them.

[@fardinm8196]

If Rob wasn’t going for the “stock-ish” philosophy I would have suggested incorporating the fenders to the hood and making a clamshell style hood like the Mk.5 Supra. I don’t know how much harder that would be to design/mould.

[@mmavcanuck]

The carbon 240z done by The Street Banditos does it

[@adriigonzaalez1788]

Actually its easier on this type of tubular chassis since you dont have to deal that much with hinges and panel supports😅,rob is doing all this just for just the stock-ish look

[@Whacintosh]

This looks way nicer

[@Chris-pt6hh]

If he wasn't going stockish, I'd be all for going JGTC style!

[@mrebtsarge]

This is my favourite Channel on KZbin atm. I look forward every day to seeing if another video has been uploaded ❤️

[@brokewheels5]

The extra wheel base and swooping hood is reminding me of one of my favorite cars. It is beginning to have the shape of a Viper GTS, mixed with an FD. So clean.

[@drewole]

This is going to look so good when its done... so excited to see the finished product!

[@matthewmcclain1316]

Hope you're patient. :)

[@vincediesil]

Damn. It looks so good, because it looks like a factory hood but turned up to 11. Just slight exaggeration of the existing shapes without ruining it. Great job!

[@smoothz0657]

Rob never fails to give us the mid thought cold closing😂

[@Innovaspeed]

I've been running that GM C7 fan for over a year here in AZ on my race truck. It's the best fan I've ever had on a vehicle and also one of the best prices for any Ezfan I've used.

[@sparkie5571]

you got a link for it? trying to do an upgrade for my cooling system too

[@Innovaspeed]

@SOZ I KILL YOUZ I found it on Amazon after googling the part number.

[@jamespauling7165]

What’s the part number ? Did yours come with the shroud ?

[@Innovaspeed]

@james pauling I just Googled to find the part number. I didn't use a shroud. I made aluminum tabs to bolt it to the back of the radiator directly. You don't need an additional shroud with this fan.

[@novasec]

I don’t know if anyone noticed this with the amazing work being done, but the “thats hood” in the music at 31:44 was 👌

[@manwithaplan9451]

The time it took to sand that hood seems crazy. I've just started a project and the dedication to detail is nuts 👏 looks insanely good yall

[@funkalicious2002]

If you like insane dedication to making a car that was never meant to be AWD have unreasonable power to all 4 wheels, you should also look up bad obsession motorsports. Very similar passion to Rob's, but with that bit of British sense of humor.

[@andreewert6576]

Sanding always takes about twice the amount of time you think it takes, and than twice that again.

[@Erickridebikes]

What an amazing work that guy did with that hood.

[@kevintran6487]

38, woah I still remember watching you when I was 13 with the diable videos, now I'm 22 Looking good Rob

[@winiary_taniegruzy]

That backwards hat and a hoodie is the most "how do you do fellow kids" look possible.

[@TheRealTomLauda]

What amazes me is that somehow you managed to retain the original FD's design. It will look incredible.

[@oddsketch]

I'm feeeling some really heavy Super GT RX7 vibes on that hood. Nice work.

[@jboymiller17]

King of KZbin. No blurring the cusswords. No 10-11 minute long video format just for ad revenue. And abrupt endings. That's the KZbin I remember.

[@glengrimsdale4]

I have to keep checking the time line so that I know I’m not going to be surprised too much, but it’s still very abrupt 😂

[@devil2jz500]

[@c_solly5892]

I love how you're essentially making a Super Saiyan version of an FD. Shits looking epic

[@fergusdunlop8498]

Are you going to add more aero to the 4rotor? I don't know if any proper wings would suit you tastes but it would definitely help grip. And possibly solve the wheelspin in 4th gear.

[@liiiinder]

Hasnt he talked about a flat floor splitter and diffusor?

[@fergusdunlop8498]

@@liiiinder true. I did forget about that but I think over body aero would be more effective as he doesn't have much space to get a proper ventury(idk how it's spelt) tunnel

[@spazzologist]

This dude is a true artist. You got guys on KZbin who make a few videoes of some work they did, then you got this guy who takes 4 or 7 pieces of hood to make a masterpiece that would probably be mistaken for OEM.🔥👌🏼

Awesome! He really nailed it!

It's so crazy to think the hood at the end of the video, was once just 4 separate pieces!

[@colinslye3160]

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is insane, im in love with cars that are built with one-off piece instead of the same mass produced parts that everyone uses. new to this channel but since my dream car has been an fd for a while ill definitely keep coming back!

Rob Dahm is the mad king of rotors. He’s definitely an honorary New Zealander, potentially New Zealander of the year.

[@aserta]

8:58 more work, but i would've gone for the old hot rod roof top trick where you slice a horizontal, then a vertical, then a long horizontal and mirror past the center line. Doing this, then allows you to slide the hood bits apart, tack them with the gap, and then you can add whatever metal you want in the missing portions. The cut looks sort of like this _ | ¯ ¯ | _
