Looks so good! The huge grin on both of your faces when you sat in it with the engine in… that’s why we all love this hobby. So excited to hear it fire up and see it move for the first time. Well done!
it really has a beautiful stance. You really can race this nice car at the race of gentleman, perhaps it's even to good for that. i really like your allround knowledge of every part of fabrication. hats of.👌👍👏
Having followed this (and your other) build(s) since day 1, this is seriously exciting. Beautiful job, and once you polish those cam covers and aluminum intake, the engine will look amazing. The Jaguar 6 is virtually indestructible and and sounds fantastic too. What a winner you have built here. You are allowed to be super proud of your creation!!!
Oh it's you Vince, it looks like a perfect fit, you could imagine it in one of those 1900-> races at the brickyard 400 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brickyard_400?wprov=sfla1 You need to get either a driving cap or one of those aviator leather caps and some proper goggles and driving gauntlets/gloves to complete the look 😁 I don't know if you intend to p Paint or polish it but aluminium comes up like chrome if polished properly. No matter what you decide Vince You have done an outstanding job so far and should be so ecstatically proud of yourself and of late your dads contribution to the commitment of building this piece of art. It is getting so close now I can hardly wait for the first movement under its own power. So proud of you Vince. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
the hole in the back of the crank shaft is where a bronze pilot bearing would go so there is no need for a spacer on the fly wheel this is how engine manufacturers do it, great to see the build progressing so fast keep up the great work.
I really enjoyed this video, filled with real engineering solutions to the problems that crop up in a build like this, it is good to see that real engineering still exists out there, most builds of today are based on CNC programmes doing all the work that engineers used to do in their brain! I will continue to follow this first rate build, and no doubt spend many hours watching back issues! Chris B.
This car has really come together. The feeling of accomplishment really came through from both of you when it fired. That's a great feeling no matter how many engines you've screwed together.
So glad you're back. This started with one idea and then your commitment to this idea (no small commitment at that!). I'm 70 years old and I have so much respect and admiration for you. Kudos to your father, he seems to have bought into this project alongside you and the 2 of you really compliment each other very well. I am sure he is tremendously proud of you. Once again I am so happy to see you back in this project. Cheers from OZ.
Great content, really enjoy the engineering and machining. The joy on your face while sitting in the car you built and being so close. Congratulations.
Not a criticism but when we are building engines with manual transmissions at work the entire clutch assembly is a matched set and balanced as a set. You balanced the flywheel alone after getting your initial markings with the clutch disk and pressure plate installed. You could have tried rotating the pressure plate first for balance but should do your final balance with the pressure plate installed. The clutch assemblies we receive from the supplier is marked and we have to line up the mark when we install the clutch. As for your entire build. I am still blown away at what you have accomplished but not surprised at all since I’ve watched you progress from the very beginning. Hopefully you get a chance to at least drive it around the yard before you move to California to start the next chapter of your life. You’ve done well and I’m sure your parents are extremely proud of you.
A lot of thought process has gone into this from ground up speedster build. Awesome job brother, some of the neatest engineering I've seen in a long time. Keep up with this great build, these are exciting times
Excellent work. A lot of this is similar to jobs I have done. I balanced a flywheel in exactly the same way, with it on the bearing like that. I don't know if it made a difference or not but I used the lathe and had the motor running (but the lathe not turning) just so there was some vibration to help the bearing settle. I showed it in one of my videos. Things could be improved by using a washed and lightly oiled bearing with no seals. The motor looks great in there. The car looks very well proportioned. So when will you get a 3.4, 3.8 or 4.2 lump for it? Lol. Many years from now you will look back and cherish the time you have spent with your Dad on this one. All the best, Mart in England.
Great to watch the joy the two of you share as this project progresses. Very much looking forward to your next update in this pleasantly surprising welcome return.
I've been following since the tank build. All I can say is congratulations! You've finished it again and this is certainly a beauty! Thank you for sharing the journey with us!
I can’t wait to see this one moving under its own power for the first time. I came on board with episode 2 of this project and can’t believe how far you’ve come in that time. Keep it going brother! Awesome work. 😁😁😁
Here since the first videos.... and maaaan this was heartwarming see you sittin inside with such a big smile on your face! so cool! When I imagine the possible weight of the car and the punch of those old jaguar engines.... well this will run so good! things will go fine for you :-) all the best!
Really like the recent addition of your dad. Also congratulations on the milestone of fitting the engine. So glad you have managed to make progress on the car even with the new job.
🌴 giant leap forward! The heart of the beast will soon be beating, this was an epic vid , having the drive train in an in working order , can’t wait to see its first test run , it’s been a long time , watched from the beginning, anxiously awaiting your next video 👍🏼👊🏼
I aint much of a car guy, but even i am geting excited to see you reach this milestone in your build. Have to ad that your videos fo teach new knowledge about cars every time.
Jag actually had a bronze pilot bushing in the crankshaft. That of course doesn't fit the transmission I'm using, so I converted it to the early Ford-style bearing in the flywheel
You have a real gift. Not sure those tesla rockets will ever look as beautiful as the things you are producing in your garage :D. Thank you for sharing with us!
G'day from West Australia, 😉 Chip, chipping away at getting it to the end of the tunnel where the light of day is. Don't forget your sun glasses buddy🙂👍👍
Awesome content. I’m loving that this car will be a runner and more or less a complete project. I’ve been watching from day One. I’m a fan of you and the project. Also, a huge shout out to your Dad, he has had a few cameo appearances during this process, but watching him help you get This buttoned up before you head out, shows what a neat man he is. I assume that he has Passed on some of his skills to you. Great Dad. 👍
I've followed your build for a good while now, and I'm thoroughly impressed, it's taken a while but you're pretty busy with other things, it's going to a Beautiful finished car, well done.
Well done, that first drive will feel so good. I am close with my own car project but a few more things to sort out first. Am looking forward to your next one.
This is absolutely awesome! All those fernickety little bits you've done over the last few years (not to mention the big bits!) are finally all coming together. And you know what - even without the bonnet (sorry, hood) & the bodywork between the firewall and the dash - it just looks brilliant. Looking forward to seeing it drive for the first time!
Really, really awesome work. I think about doing stuff like this all the time but never actually do it. Mix of time and tools and all. I've got my own crazy projects, but this is the kind of stuff I'd love to tackle in the future. Super enjoyable!
Neat project and Congrats on getting it to this point! I have a boat tail CycleCar build on the back burner I need to build a body for and only just came across your project, so I’m looking forward to going back an watching your previous videos for some inspiration and motivation.
I'm happy you chose this route. I know from experience it's fairly simple to tie a Dana, or 9 inch into the back of a Chevy. C6, or Torqueflite, not so much. The KISS rule applies
Great work and machining, just like all the other episodes, can't wait on the next one. Have being following the process from the beginning, really fascination to watch
I am so glad you are continuing with this project. I was really bummed when you announced you were putting it on hold... altho I fully understand your reasons.
The smiles on you and your dad's face says it all. :)
Let's goo, been hear since day 1
Looks so good! The huge grin on both of your faces when you sat in it with the engine in… that’s why we all love this hobby. So excited to hear it fire up and see it move for the first time. Well done!
In the last few moments of the video you and your fathers smile and joy are what it’s all about
Looking great can't wait to see it rolling under it's own power,
I just loved the smile on your Dads face. He is one proud Pappa!
Your work ethic is so rare these days.
Every time I watch I'm proud as hell of the traditions you're KEEPING ALIVE! And STILL a HUMBLE HUMAN BEING. Keep on that path my man.
I am a Dutchman and it strikes me that the American "shed" is often a complete machine factory. You do a nice job. Top
it really has a beautiful stance.
You really can race this nice car at the race of gentleman, perhaps it's even to good for that.
i really like your allround knowledge of every part of fabrication. hats of.👌👍👏
My absolute favorite build series of all time! Way to go, young feller!
Having followed this (and your other) build(s) since day 1, this is seriously exciting. Beautiful job, and once you polish those cam covers and aluminum intake, the engine will look amazing. The Jaguar 6 is virtually indestructible and and sounds fantastic too. What a winner you have built here. You are allowed to be super proud of your creation!!!
I was surprised by he did no to dress up by the Ed ngon we before installing it. Paint and polish always look better.
The smile on your face says it all. Can't wait to see you drive it
I got goosepumples when I saw the engine on the hoist approaching the car! I've been following since the tank, and I'm very invested!
Oh it's you Vince, it looks like a perfect fit, you could imagine it in one of those 1900-> races at the brickyard 400
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brickyard_400?wprov=sfla1
You need to get either a driving cap or one of those aviator leather caps and some proper goggles and driving gauntlets/gloves to complete the look 😁

Paint or polish it but aluminium comes up like chrome if polished properly.
No matter what you decide Vince

This whole project is art…..
Absolutely love it!!!
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. You are building one incredible machine. Looking forward to seeing you drive it around
motor looks so right in the car. what a jewel to have in the garage
I'd bet not 1 in 10,000 men in the US could do what you have done. Good work!
Every video makes me smile! What a cool project!
This car has really come together. The feeling of accomplishment really came through from both of you when it fired. That's a great feeling no matter how many engines you've screwed together.
i'm left lacking words to express my joy over this milestone. congratulations and thanks for sharing this wonderful project!

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SOME THING WORTH WATCHING
I will always drop everything to watch a new macro machines video as soon as I see it. Best build series on TH-cam, hands down
Can't Believe it's been 4 yrs .
Very exciting Young Man 👍🏻👍🏻
Great to watch the joy the two of you share as this project progresses.
Very much looking forward to your next update in this pleasantly surprising welcome return.
I've been following since the tank build. All I can say is congratulations! You've finished it again and this is certainly a beauty! Thank you for sharing the journey with us!
I am so grateful to see you and the roadster project again. Your skills are awesome. 🖖🏼👽
Amazing job! Congratulations! A huge step and it looks great mounted up. The look on your face says it all!
I cannot express how much I love this project!
Why?
@@ShainAndrews Because it's awesome?
Congratulations, and thank you! Look forward to everything you do!
aesthetically, it really looks like you nailed it. it's gorgeous from every angle
I can’t wait to see this one moving under its own power for the first time. I came on board with episode 2 of this project and can’t believe how far you’ve come in that time. Keep it going brother! Awesome work. 😁😁😁

Man, I am so proud just for being here since the tank series.. I'm like walking around buffed up in this comment section!
I love reading the comments... almost as much as watching the videos.
Yes, yes, yes! What a big step in the build. Thanks for taking the time to shot and edit the videos for us!
I have watched from the start well done absolutely brilliant. Good engine choice to.
Four years, but worth the wait. 👍 Looking forward to seeing it moving under its own power. Great video. 👍
Maintaining that same quality level throughout the build is impressive.
Impressive ! ! ! Even though you have some tools and equipment you still show great ingenuity. Beautiful car and build.
Really like the recent addition of your dad.
Also congratulations on the milestone of fitting the engine.
So glad you have managed to make progress on the car even with the new job.
So happy these videos are coming in more regularly, it's great to watch!
Enjoy each progression and looking forward to seeing you test driving this car.
🌴 giant leap forward! The heart of the beast will soon be beating, this was an epic vid , having the drive train in an in working order , can’t wait to see its first test run , it’s been a long time , watched from the beginning, anxiously awaiting your next video 👍🏼👊🏼
Major moment! Well done Vince. All the planning and effort is really starting to show now.
Man this project is so close to being a full car. I can't wait to see you driving this and turning heads.
Great work and project! Awesome to see your pops helping. Keep the videos coming
It’s been awesome to watch this project progress! Well done young fella!!
That engine looks awesome in that chassis. great choice.
Wow , really good progress here and can't wait to see it start and run !!!!!! So happy for you !!!!
You have me more excited than I've ever been for this thing. I can't wait to see and hear this thing move down the road.
I aint much of a car guy, but even i am geting excited to see you reach this milestone in your build. Have to ad that your videos fo teach new knowledge about cars every time.
Amazing! Looking forward to seeing your first test drive!
Continued awesome craftmanship, so happy for you... rock on!
That 6 cylinder Jag engine is going to sound perfect for that car. Look forward to hearing and seeing it run.
Starting to look like excitement is around the corner. Great vid, cheers!
The smile on both of your faces at the end is priceless.
I learned today that Jag put the pilot bearing in the flywheel and not the crank shaft. I think I like that better. Keep up the good work.
Jag actually had a bronze pilot bushing in the crankshaft. That of course doesn't fit the transmission I'm using, so I converted it to the early Ford-style bearing in the flywheel
@@MacroMachines I am sure it will work fine though.
Very excited to be closer to see it run. I'm following the build since the begging.
Looking better all the time. Glad to see you back making videos during your break, genuinely excited for a project that is not mine!!
You have a real gift. Not sure those tesla rockets will ever look as beautiful as the things you are producing in your garage :D. Thank you for sharing with us!
As always, EXCELLENT work!! Looking forward to the start with the engine in the car.
Thank you so much for continuing the project, been following your channel almost since the start 😊
Get-er-done young man!
Great to see your progress!
Love and Peace!
Another enjoyable video documenting your accomplishment. Beautiful.
This is just fantastic! It looks so good and you should be really proud! Can't wait for the next part!
Such a fantastic project.
You're an absolute credit to your Father.
Watching for a while now. Great progress. Thanks for posting more.
G'day from West Australia, 😉
