Excellent work on getting the rear to flow Jordan, some of the '30 ish sprint cars had the rear panel roll under and towards the diff and it looks good. I agree that once the exhaust is in place the side proportions will look right, eyes will be drawn to the pipes and the rivetted highlights not just the body as it is now. Cheers 👍
Shoe Goo, E6000, hot glue, even thick C.A. applied to the edges of the band should keep the thing from shifting in use. With your skills a long time solution is to tweak the plane of the wheels to solve the problem. Even blue tape around the edges!
Looks great ,think your right to make more hood parts . I'm thinking paint top with slots and polished side ,but the option to change it up right way to go 👍🏴
Fascinating! I always judged my work by how much I just wanted to stare at it. If that was my project I’d be catatonic. Hard for me to imagine what you’ll accomplish with your whole life ahead of you.
that looks amazing with the roll of the rear and the seat hump. I think you are right the exhaust will break up the sides and finish the look. This is a joy to watch it taking shape. Many thanks.
She's a beauty Jordan ! nicely done . It blows my mind that you're using a pair of fenders a side panels. I love how an artist's mind work , you see more than what's in front of you. Cheers from back home.
Amazing work Jordan. It's looking absolutely awesome. I'm so happy that I found you through Karl (Make it Kustom) channel. You have lot of skills in metalshaping. I look forward to more new videos. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Slovakia 🙂
It's looking great, I would probably put two bar's around the back for the push bar, so it want move up or down, all the best to you and your loved ones
Jordan, you constantly amaze! The three dimensional shaping of the rear deck is phenomenal. You say you are learning metal shaping but I think you are brilliant at it. Scary what will happen when you get "good". The pipes will bring it all together I think. I love the car and I love your videos. Keep it up and fingers are crossed for that can to arrive.
I'm probably like you Stu..when Karl shows us how to do metal shaping, it seems to flow...when Jordan went to shape parts, I had no idea where to start (as a viewer haha) but he brought it together!
If you intend to put a reverse scoop on the hood, you could put a short lip around the inlet end of the scoop to take advantage of the Kamm effect to help get air into the carburetors.
Absolutely killer video. leave the hood it’s looks fine. Especially with your time frame if you have time at the other end you can go back. It looks like an Art Deco style steam engine. Your doing a damn good job.
Looks great .i wouldnt worry about hood lines .its nicer than it would have been in the day.if you do remake hood i would move hole in top back slightly..with pipes and push bar it will be spot on.
Hi Love your little project. back in the late 1960's and early 70's we made boat tail bodies for our specials by cutting the wings off Morris Minor bonnets and welding them together top to bottom with a fillet between them to give the required height. They were a perfect fit for early Morris or Ford specials. I guess they would shoot you if you started hacking up those bonnets these days.
Amazing race car. A fact not to forget. Make it nice, but be careful not to make it show quality. You’ll just end up being afraid to dent it leaving you drive like an old man on the track😉
Looking bloody good so far, top job! The only thing I'm thinking is to finish off the chassis rails by joining them together in the same way that you've done the front end? Surely there's gonna be a risk of flex as they are? Join the ends together somehow? Other than that I love it!! 👍😁
@@bennettscustomsco thank yo for taking the time to reply! That sounds like a good solution, it's just the way that you've done the front end looks very good so doing the same at the rear would, in my eyes, be a lovely way to finish that area. Excellent work on the videos by the way, very entertaining and informative.
Looks fantastic you have given me several ideas on the way I want try on my build. You are going to use six pipes, three on each side, but I am using a four cylinder that I will use a four into one. Thank You
Nice work cobb. As far as the flaws you seem concerned about……. Race car. Back in the day it would have been bashed together and painted with house paint and a stiff brush. Looks awesome.
i was going to suggest using masking tape on the wheel. On the rear i would of tacked it then cut it and replaced each tack with a butt tack. to save it falling apart and having to rearrange it all again. i love that plenisher its so useful in or out the vice
Love the amazing fabrication skills. I do not understand the intake. The two carbs neck down to a tiny single tube, so a single carb would make more sense. But I suppose the way it looks supersedes everything.
I would take apart that bottom wheel on the bead roller and remount it square it shouldn't be that hard to do. btw Jordan are you able to buff or use the planishing hammer to get those lines out? on the aluminum hood. As My kid's would say Jordan Dad that looks Sick! hahahaha Great job, I'm impressed that little single racer looks cool, you done a fabulous job there bud.
Hey Jordon, buggy is looking great...thanks YT for the random 'recommended' channel! Didn't know you had one. Very well crafted vid and sound mate! Did you think of using wood along the top edges of the cockpit? As well as being warm to look at, it'd probably be friendly to lean on while racing, and easy to shape. Old battered blondwood like oak or elm...and it'd also be easy to add some beaten leather upholstery elbow pad. I have some so old leather machinery drive belts if you'd like some. Good for cowl/bonnet straps too. I'll be up to pick up the beater Troopy from Tom in a week or so, so will drop in. All the best, Harley Rob, Cowie.
Hey, it's all coming out really cool. But I got lost, you used parts of old fenders for the side panels. Or it all home brew?. I like it. Can't wait to see you drive it..
Love the music Not as much as the as car. One question could you show who's music is being played. Good music is inspiring during the process. Thanks for the videos you are spot on!
@@craftyclassics I totally agree with you on that back section. What he had done on the grill only started my passion to watch the process start to finish. The neat thing is he is not afraid to show you the failures and what he did to fix it. What brought me to his project besides the name Single seat race car was I had seen small cars called Cyclekarts and I was hooked. They are scaled down versions of pre-world war 2 cars that were raced. I think maybe I want to build a full-size version of some thing as unique as his.
Hey guys, whose music at 35 minutes, I like it a lot, kinda reminds me of Z Z top ! Are you based somewhere near Louisiana, that's what the music is screaming at me, I'm from the U.K., so I could be talking out my rear end after a few too many beers !.
Noticed Carl at "Make it Kustom" having the same fight, keeping the rubber on the roller. Maybe you could fashion a set of little roller guides at 4 and 7 o'clock that actually contact the side of the roller. Some ½ nylon hollow dowel from Mc Mastercarr for example
If I remember correctly these things were known as coffins, because one bounce meant they would fly up and off the road as cut-up moded model-Ts without suspension...?
@@bennettscustomsco I've got the same issue if I buy one online, they're all for 200mm wheels and I have a 150mm wheel :( I'll see if there are inner tubes for trucks or something similar that I can cut a section out of to do the job; if so I can prolly send you one :)
Most race cars werent that nice.most were 10 footers not show cars.love use of fender castoffs for tail.i used 2 hoods for mine.the body line turned out great on hood.
@@bennettscustomsco ok, if you say so, you are the guy making awesome stuff from it....even if the Periodic Table lists AI as Aluminium and the Atomic number of 13 is Aluminium...if I moved to the U.S. I'd say aloominum haha!
Actually you fellers down under tend to say Al-u-minium the way I hear it but seems like all us English speakers tend to butcher the Queens English fairly bad. Half the fun of visiting other countries is seeing if one can pick up the slang.
I feel that nothing should be put on the car for just aesthetics. Every part should have a real function toward the competitiveness of the car. Everything you add, adds weight; the enemy of performance.

That’s what I’m thinking, if it looks like it needs something I could ad a blister or something in place.
Shoe Goo, E6000, hot glue, even thick C.A. applied to the edges of the band should keep the thing from shifting in use. With your skills a long time solution is to tweak the plane of the wheels to solve the problem. Even blue tape around the edges!

G'day from North of the river, nice boat tail.
Coach builders of old would be proud of your achievements thus far.😉🙂👍👍
Thanks Steve! Lots to learn yet but excited the shape it’s taking
She's a beauty Jordan ! nicely done . It blows my mind that you're using a pair of fenders a side panels. I love how an artist's mind work , you see more than what's in front of you. Cheers from back home.
Best 45min of TH-cam all week.
YAFA “You are ---- amazing” looks fantastic🔥
Amazing work Jordan. It's looking absolutely awesome. I'm so happy that I found you through Karl (Make it Kustom) channel. You have lot of skills in metalshaping. I look forward to more new videos. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Slovakia 🙂
Thank you kindly! Lots more to come
It's looking great, I would probably put two bar's around the back for the push bar, so it want move up or down, all the best to you and your loved ones
It'll look spot on when the body is painted all one colour. Nice work, as usual.
Jordan, you constantly amaze! The three dimensional shaping of the rear deck is phenomenal. You say you are learning metal shaping but I think you are brilliant at it. Scary what will happen when you get "good".

Liking your thought on bringing that tail bottom lower. Will give it a more balanced look. Great job!
Exactly! Good way to finish off the bottom
If you intend to put a reverse scoop on the hood, you could put a short lip around the inlet end of the scoop to take advantage of the Kamm effect to help get air into the carburetors.
Nicely done.
I love the lines of the body, and I think it will work awesome with the exhausts running down the side.
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Andre!
Great looking organic shape you have put on the rear. Looks so cool!
Fantastic video, really liking the longer format. Thanks
Thanks for the feed back Andrew
Lovely work man! Thanks for posting this on a rainy sunday in the Netherlands. Keep m coming!
That is great, it kind of reminds me of a parrots beak. I am loving this project, what a gem of a vehicle.
Thanks for following along Richard
Turned out awesome. Can't wait to hear it fire up.
I’m so excited for that moment hearing the pipes!
Incredible work and craftsman. I also found you via Karl and Make It Kustom. Loving this project and the videos. Keep moving forward!
40 days to go!
Crazy job... Similar as karl Fischer...
Bruno from France.
Amazing skills
Great Sunday night viewing😊
Hello from Ohio USA Race car looks great
Yep your right Jordan looking good out in the open . Love the whole look 👍👍
Thank you Dennis!
Nice!!!! Great video!!! Thank you for leaving in the details.
Absolutely killer video. leave the hood it’s looks fine. Especially with your time frame if you have time at the other end you can go back. It looks like an Art Deco style steam engine. Your doing a damn good job.
Thank you Garret! Only 40 days to go haha
That is absolutely awesome insane car.... I want to build a go cart like that one. day..... awesome work
All I can say is ; totally awesome !
Loving the way this beast is taking shape!
Jordan very Nice Video looks excellent
Thanks John!
Looking amazing. Great work.
Fantastic work of art
Looks great .i wouldnt worry about hood lines .its nicer than it would have been in the day.if you do remake hood i would move hole in top back slightly..with pipes and push bar it will be spot on.
Nice work mate.
I’m really enjoying your build. Keep up the great work.
We’ll done Jordan , another great video. It’s looking good!!!
Cheers Paul
Amazing work, so talented, can’t wait for the next episode.
Sweet- that tail looks killa 😎😎
Nice work 👍
That's a project to be proud of
Great 👍 job guys 👏
Looking good...

smashin it fellas
Great job metal forming.
Great job. With your blister just bolt it on reversed for the dirt track. Unbolt it and turn it around for the asphalt tracks.
Great idea!
awesome job. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
amazing skills. Looks great.
Love the look of this build, so cool dude.
nice intro reel!
Amazing work 👏👏
I love this build. Body is awesome.
Looks superb as always , use a rubber castor wheel from a hardware store, trust me works a treat
Definitely going to try that!
Killer as always mate.
Amazing race car. A fact not to forget. Make it nice, but be careful not to make it show quality. You’ll just end up being afraid to dent it leaving you drive like an old man on the track😉
Hey, I resemble that remark.
You’re right, BUT. This thing will be getting the proper treatment of a heavy foot hahah I plan to thrash it
Looking bloody good so far, top job! The only thing I'm thinking is to finish off the chassis rails by joining them together in the same way that you've done the front end? Surely there's gonna be a risk of flex as they are? Join the ends together somehow? Other than that I love it!! 👍😁
A push bar will have them tied together. If I decide to run a roll bar it would also do the same
@@bennettscustomsco thank yo for taking the time to reply! That sounds like a good solution, it's just the way that you've done the front end looks very good so doing the same at the rear would, in my eyes, be a lovely way to finish that area.

Sounds very cool! Looking forward to seeing it come together
Man that is looking good
Thank Hank
Bumperet T looks like a key for a wind-up toy! LoL
Great Video. Great Work.

Hahaha you have a intro now. Love it
Loving the build Jordan a real credit to ya👍
Thank you Warren! Always great to have such good feedback
Nice work cobb. As far as the flaws you seem concerned about……. Race car. Back in the day it would have been bashed together and painted with house paint and a stiff brush. Looks awesome.
like the new intro!
i was going to suggest using masking tape on the wheel. On the rear i would of tacked it then cut it and replaced each tack with a butt tack. to save it falling apart and having to rearrange it all again. i love that plenisher its so useful in or out the vice
Hey Jordan, getting there, nice job..
Ralph
40 days to go!
Love the amazing fabrication skills.
I do not understand the intake. The two carbs neck down to a tiny single tube, so a single carb would make more sense. But I suppose the way it looks supersedes everything.
Basically for looks, but this might change
tres bien 👍
I would take apart that bottom wheel on the bead roller and remount it square it shouldn't be that hard to do. btw Jordan are you able to buff or use the planishing hammer to get those lines out? on the aluminum hood. As My kid's would say Jordan Dad that looks Sick! hahahaha Great job, I'm impressed that little single racer looks cool, you done a fabulous job there bud.
I will definitely give it a try and see if it works, I may change the air cleaner so a different hole cut will be needed.
Hey Jordon, buggy is looking great...thanks YT for the random 'recommended' channel! Didn't know you had one. Very well crafted vid and sound mate! Did you think of using wood along the top edges of the cockpit? As well as being warm to look at, it'd probably be friendly to lean on while racing, and easy to shape.

Definitely will start to put them in the description
I was just scrolling through the comments and was about to ask the same question.
That tail section is looking so good!
@@craftyclassics
I totally agree with you on that back section. What he had done on the grill only started my passion to watch the process start to finish.

Are you based somewhere near Louisiana, that's what the music is screaming at me,
I'm from the U.K., so I could be talking out my rear end after a few too many beers !.
We’re from down under in Western Australia. I’ll look up the song for yeah!
Bad ass bro 🤙🏻
Looks so good, are you going to have that Diamond Stitched Padding that rolls of the Top Edge and Clips on ?
Yup definitely!
Noticed Carl at "Make it Kustom" having the same fight, keeping the rubber on the roller.
Maybe you could fashion a set of little roller guides at 4 and 7 o'clock that actually contact the side of the roller.
Some ½ nylon hollow dowel from Mc Mastercarr for example
I think the English wheels getting a make over next week. So I will figure out that part as well.
Super job as always Jordan. Do you know what colour your going to paint it yet?
Yup I’ll mix a sample and have a spray out for the next video
fuck yeah dude!
Will you run a belly pan under the frame? Looking really nice!
It’s of the cards, but I will see I’ll get the whole thing sorted and maybe flip it over and see what’s possible
So I would say more of a canoe tail more then boat tail, but awesome no matter what you call it.
Spot on!
Look forward to watching this later..steve,helene and fred the dog
👍👍👍😎👍👍👍
Beautiful fuel tank. Is mounted it as low as it will go? One Kilo per Litre...
Use planishing hammer on those lines instead of burning thru another pc aluminum?
Yup will be trying that today
Like the Indy cars of the past, many of them were called a "special". I think you should name your car the "Bennett Special".
If I remember correctly these things were known as coffins, because one bounce meant they would fly up and off the road as cut-up moded model-Ts without suspension...?
Have you tried that spray they sell for stopping belts slipping? Get it from hardware store or supercheap. No idea if it would work, but worth a shot?
I've been searching like crazy to find a rubber band for my English wheel here in France; where did that fancy orange one come from?
Just an eBay job, it does work just wish it was slightly smaller
@@bennettscustomsco I've got the same issue if I buy one online, they're all for 200mm wheels and I have a 150mm wheel :(
I'll see if there are inner tubes for trucks or something similar that I can cut a section out of to do the job; if so I can prolly send you one :)
liget
What grade of Aluminium are you using to make the hood?
I would of done the cut and buff on the tail.
G'day Jordan looking good what grade is that ali
Wont the bottom catch air and slow you down
It goes too fast, holds it on the ground 😂
Most race cars werent that nice.most were 10 footers not show cars.love use of fender castoffs for tail.i used 2 hoods for mine.the body line turned out great on hood.
Thanks Bob! Yeah I’ll have to put a dent in it right away so I don’t care about the body anymore haha
This is Australia, it's ALUMINIUM. Only the US says aloominum, even Japhands in Canada says it right.,
Nup, it’s spelt aloominumn haha
