Watching this kid push the chassis across the lawn brought this old man back to a time when his back could keep up with his excitement and creativity. I unfortunately didn’t have the skill and talent this kid has but I shared the same zeal for making things.
Great video. I get a kick out the people in the comments with "you should." They should get a TH-cam channel, go to college, and build a car from scratch from the ground up lol. You have an incredible talent sir.
Even after spending the day driving my 69 ford ranger for the first time this year and working on my 39 Buick all day.. this is the highlight of my day. Absolutely stunning lines and design. I think the widening of the rear was a good call. Gotta be able to fit Jay Leno in next to you when your done.
This video just got recommended to me - I went to the start of the playlist and was like "holy crap it's the four wheel motorbike guy, how am I not subscribed to this channel already?" Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
You nailed it Vince. Looks like the shape is period perfect and the length of the boatail suits the car. I hope you record the build of your English Wheel.
Just found your channel. Absolutely brilliant. Great subject vehicle. As a time served guy, 2 bits of advice to a young guy starting out. 1, Listen to old guys. (if they can be bothered to give you advice, it's probably worth listening to). 2, Don't pull swarf out of your lathe by hand. Please, one day it will be stainless steel and you've lost a finger. (old guy). (3) Work hard at college.
I've followed this project thinking "I could do that!" Up until this point! I couldn't do anything after this point. Can't wait to see the first drive. Good luck!
Love the boat tail speedster. Clever use of kerf cuts to get the contours around the doors. Looking forward to seeing this come together and to see another coach builder coming up.
Great video but it was about 10 hours short....... School is overrated, get back to the shed. So you went to college, discovered girls and made it a two seater ? Just kidding dude, this along with your other builds has been very inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and I salute you,. Keep up the awesome work.
It’s cool how you push it up the hill in the grass for the long haul then when you get to the garage someone helps oust the last ten feet over smooth level ground
Damn dude! Don't you have friends that could help you move that frame on it's epic journey to the wood shop? You have one of my favorite builds on youtube, Good job!
If you notice most people are to tired to get in the shop. What ever your doing KEEP IT UP. So far your skills are outstanding. And don't let Girls in your shop.
You have to make video of your complete build shop. You start off saying going to the wood shop. Give us a tour please. Can't wait when you start the panels for the body. It's going to be interesting when you make your own English Wheel and rollers.
There is something wrong with you. Something, in the best way possible, fundamentally wrong. This is wicked man. It's also one of the 2 builds on the internet that I'm quite happy to be very patient and wait for. Because I know that, when the content comes, it will be this good. Thanks a bunch.
Great project - but maybe keep the wooden parts much lighter next time as the ladder frame already covers load and stiffness. No need for this massive construction. Just have a look how Morgan cars are built - also wood still, but much less.
Uphill all the way is an understament lol! Love how help appears right at the last minute you've done all the bull grunt work of getting it there! Lol! That's life I guess? But absolutely awesome stuff to see. The original ford's most of the original body's were held together by wood and wood screws! The floor boards were actually called floor boards for that reason.....they were oak wooden boards! As for the main structural integrity of the body's were all reinforce by oak wooden parts and pieces. People have no idea what held together cars up until basically WWll! Factories didn't have the means to make intriquit for metal forming back then to make special bends and shapes in steel or it was just too costly to make at the time before robotics and huge die presses with their overly complex forms and molds that we have today. Like the art of hydro forming we now make chassis frames from highly pressurized water to form steel to shape of the molds. We've come a long ways from wood but it's a lost art also! After building a couple wooden race boats, you get a higher respect for the trade and the artistic side of carpentry that normally isn't used especially when dealing with complex curves or even bending wood to shape. It's not hard, but you will definitely go through a learning curve to get good at doing it. Good luck with your project so far it looks awesome brother! 👌
You got skills. You got a metal shop. You got a wood working shop. You got all the tools. I want to come live with you. I am now wondering how I can make one of these too.
Nice result but I saw several mistakes... 1) Pushing a car uphill like that you can seriously injure your back - also if the car escaped from the shims it could run over you and cause an ugly accident. 2) To cut several long pieces out of wood you don't move the fence of the tablesaw every cut, you just set it to the measure you want and pass the wood several times, this way you save time and you ensure that the different pieces will be exactly the SAME size. 3) You don't want to push the pieces of wood against the blade using your hand that way, otherwise you are asking for a nasty accident sooner or later. Instead use a push stick. Oh, and by the way, that big board at 1:04 is NOT plywood, it's OSB.
Design is in the details tho so I can't wait to see where it goes from here. I'm particularly eager to see what you do with the dash and steering wheel.
Excellent job..l intend to do the same on mine. However, mine will be a glass fibre cover...and finish. But l like the simple method to obtain the final shape. 👍👍
WOW!! Now I can really visualize how its all going to look and it looks hella cool my man. I'm glad you still find time to work on it because I bet your lifes pretty hecktic with collage and things. But anyway lol I bet that Indy car was hard pushing it up that steep driveway😆. But great job all around for it becoming what it is. 👍👍👍
I can't imagine anyone with 1/2 of a brain would give A thumbs down! Way better than anything on TV! It's nice to see a video full of talent, not full of bad language, or some one that thinks they know everything but just rambles on n on, With super crappy music that you have to suffer through just to hear what he/she says. Oh wait.... I think I just figured out what kind of a ass-hat would give this video a thumbs Down. Keep up the good work!
Amazing build, I always thought that's how the hand build car's and to get the form they want by using wood paper cardboard before they use sheet metal for the body.
Excellent work young man! I've been watching the videos when you worked up the frame. Who was/is your mentor that moulded you to be the craftsman you are in the art you practice? I have to believe you were started quite young. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Nice work! I've been binge watching the build, and you've done a great job all the way through. It's magical the way the buck turns that key, transforming it into a more recognizable and tangible object. It must be a much more heightened feeling of progress being the builder and now having to put it on hold for school. I suppose school would be a perfect place to research and develop final on board systems. IE: Electrical, plumbing, and naturally the style/esthetics. I know you've already gone through it, but good luck fending off the day dream infection...lol. Must be hard... Thanks for the videos and sharing your process' and dreams. Invaluable... Had any word from Jay Leno yet? I bet he would be interested in this build. I'm guessing you already know his affinity for this era of automobilia, and your almost doing the job just as the old engineers and builders of the past did it. Thanks again...
Love the car. Loyal follower. That being said. I hate to see that after all that work u used chipboard instead of some nice furniture (or at least standard grade) plywood. U will defiantly have problems with splitting down the road where u screwed down through the edges. Hope I'm wrong. Cant wait to see u cruising it around. U totally deserve it for all your hard work.
looks awesome!!! i never did build a body for a car, but i'm about to, i'm building a 40's F1 car, something like that, frame and engine is ready, and looking for ideas to build the body, i'm curious about your methode, hope you have some progress this week :D
1940s f1 car???? You got something messed up there .... There was a small event called WW2 no f1 races or cars were built in the early 40's. Do you mean a post war car or prewar.

I get a kick out of watching someone with skill make things like this haha. Much more interesting than mainstream TV.
Inspiring too.
Always wondered how a metal forming buck was made. It looks a lot easier than I envisioned. Thanks for making this.
Me too!
Great video. I get a kick out the people in the comments with "you should." They should get a TH-cam channel, go to college, and build a car from scratch from the ground up lol. You have an incredible talent sir.
so glad you spent your spring break productively and made the body buck look so easy. again, nice work.
Even after spending the day driving my 69 ford ranger for the first time this year and working on my 39 Buick all day.. this is the highlight of my day. Absolutely stunning lines and design. I think the widening of the rear was a good call. Gotta be able to fit Jay Leno in next to you when your done.
Yes!!
Good Night my Sweet one, SORRY you are not felling good.
This video just got recommended to me - I went to the start of the playlist and was like "holy crap it's the four wheel motorbike guy, how am I not subscribed to this channel already?"

Hi Vince great to see another video your doing a fantastic job ,looking forward to the next installment
Tony from Western Australia
I've followed this project thinking "I could do that!" Up until this point! I couldn't do anything after this point. Can't wait to see the first drive. Good luck!
The wooden buck is looking good. Great work. Looking forward to this summer.
When you drop a video I drop everything to watch it. Excellent work as always!
Well, it's no surprise that you really are a Master Craftsman!
Love the boat tail speedster. Clever use of kerf cuts to get the contours around the doors. Looking forward to seeing this come together and to see another coach builder coming up.
Noooo. OSB oriented strand board. Great job. Much respect. Hard worker as well as talented.
Yep OSB is probably the worst thing he could have chosen for this build , should have went with marine grade ply but i still like the video overall.
Great video but it was about 10 hours short....... School is overrated, get back to the shed.
So you went to college, discovered girls and made it a two seater ?
Just kidding dude, this along with your other builds has been very inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and I salute you,. Keep up the awesome work.

Can't wait when you start the panels for the body. It's going to be interesting when you make your own English Wheel and rollers.
It's coming along and looking good!
I like the fact you use CAD for design...Cardboard Aided Design!!
Drat, Paul, you beat me to it!!!
There is something wrong with you. Something, in the best way possible, fundamentally wrong. This is wicked man. It's also one of the 2 builds on the internet that I'm quite happy to be very patient and wait for. Because I know that, when the content comes, it will be this good. Thanks a bunch.
great to have you watching!
Suddenly waiting for game of thrones seems like child's play compared to waiting for this thing to have it's aluminum body..
Glad to see it coming along
More! MORE!! I want MORE! Perfect instructional video too!
Good to see you, greetings from Europe. Good luck with the project and in school! Great looking car!
You have a very well equipped shop. Great video series.
I love how this is turning out!
You know they say work smarter not harder you have a perfectly good tank that you could have hooked to that thing and drug it to the shop no problem.
That's what my dad said and I couldn't believe that it never crossed my mind!
Or the off-road mower lol
AWESOME, you're back! Next time, use your tank to move he car. :)
Reh3d Zone I was just going to say that!
Great project - but maybe keep the wooden parts much lighter next time as the ladder frame already covers load and stiffness. No need for this massive construction. Just have a look how Morgan cars are built - also wood still, but much less.
Great update, lots of progress and looking so good. Amazing skills.
I love the fast forward. It is like a frantic mouse
Is there anything this kid cant build? Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Damn and I thought that tank was wicked. My man got skills
Keep amazing us, the project is looking great!
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the second guy appear...AFTER pushing it up the hill and across the lawn.
Hey! Great to see you back!
I always knew making a buck was difficult, but nothing quite as difficult as this! :)
Wonderful Work, I am joying these vids so much.

clicked thumbs up before the video loaded. not disappointed!
LMAO I love how at the beginning you do all the labor getting it UPHILL and across the yard then at 0:52 pops helps you get it in the Garage..
You got skills. You got a metal shop. You got a wood working shop. You got all the tools. I want to come live with you. I am now wondering how I can make one of these too.

Great work. been funny if you used the tank to pull it out of the one shop to the wood shop
You are a madman and a damn good builder. Love this project!
I wish I could have given you a hand moving that chassis; it looked like a chore to do by yourself!
Excellent job..l intend to do the same on mine.
However, mine will be a glass fibre cover...and finish.
But l like the simple method to obtain the final shape.
👍👍
I predict, a good result! Anticipating the metal work.
you're killin' me smalls, USE THE TANK!
This has been a Great project to watch
I have watched 2 of your videos and WOW you are amazing
Don’t know where your going to college, but if it’s not MIT it’s their lost!😊 I really enjoy watching u work.
WOW!! Now I can really visualize how its all going to look and it looks hella cool my man. I'm glad you still find time to work on it because I bet your lifes pretty hecktic with collage and things. But anyway lol I bet that Indy car was hard pushing it up that steep driveway😆. But great job all around for it becoming what it is. 👍👍👍
Exciting time in the build for you Id imagine? Great job!
Really looking good!
Outstanding job so far. Just caught this episode and now subscribed to follow along with future updates. Very inspirational. Keep it up 👍
I can't imagine anyone with 1/2 of a brain would give A thumbs down! Way better than anything on TV! It's nice to see a video full of talent, not full of bad language, or some one that thinks they know everything but just rambles on n on, With super crappy music that you have to suffer through just to hear what he/she says.

I think I just figured out what kind of a ass-hat would give this video a thumbs Down. Keep up the good work!
Great to have you watching!
Love what you are doing , Thanks for sharing and hope to see it done some day.
Thanks , Mike
Looking good There 👍
Holy crap, that is awesome!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Good work man 😇
I like it !!! Good job
Amazing build, I always thought that's how the hand build car's and to get the form they want by using wood paper cardboard before they use sheet metal for the body.
Yay an update!
Looks great man. Just keep girls out of your shop.
keen to see progress on this!
Definitely motivational!
Excellent work young man! I've been watching the videos when you worked up the frame.
Who was/is your mentor that moulded you to be the craftsman you are in the art you practice? I have to believe you were started quite young. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Very nice.
Old School all the way .
Nice work! I've been binge watching the build, and you've done a great job all the way through.

Had any word from Jay Leno yet? I bet he would be interested in this build. I'm guessing you already know his affinity for this era of automobilia, and your almost doing the job just as the old engineers and builders of the past did it. Thanks again...
Have NO fear the MacroMachines man is back for spring break. COOL Really nice well constructed design. I think your out doing the tank on this one.
Love the car. Loyal follower. That being said. I hate to see that after all that work u used chipboard instead of some nice furniture (or at least standard grade) plywood. U will defiantly have problems with splitting down the road where u screwed down through the edges. Hope I'm wrong. Cant wait to see u cruising it around. U totally deserve it for all your hard work.
the wood is only a template for making the body. it isn't permanent.
Wow man..you do some really good work 👍
GREAT JOB!!!
thanks!
Great Video! Best Wishes for your College Career and greetings from Germany!
thanks!
Brilliant work! I loved the fact that you went to an air nailer too. So much more fun than screws, isn't it?
nice work , like to see it finish
HE`S BACK BOIS
good job
i love your videos!
Nice! Use a push stick with the table saw
I hope there's enough clearance above the diff. You'd be surprised how much that thing has to travel to absorb a lot of bumps.
Looks good enough to drive! You are so lucky having the two shops, is this your family business?
That is really beautiful!
Going to put some arches over the front wheels with headlight that turn with wheels? That would be so cool
Would really like to see a functioning electric wooden car with wood frame (4X12's?) Really curious what sort of steering could be used in this.
Would have been a great time to use your tank to tow the frame. :)
WOW !
Love this stuff! Subscribed!
I am over here in Ireland. If you are moving the car again just give me a shout and I will help you push it!
~ 1:00 it is an OSB not plywood! cheaper but weaker
Yeah! And it was just the smaller of his mistakes... the serious ones he made risking his body integrity.
Excellent, I enjoyed that. Thanks. Subscribed.
looks awesome!!! i never did build a body for a car, but i'm about to, i'm building a 40's F1 car, something like that, frame and engine is ready, and looking for ideas to build the body, i'm curious about your methode, hope you have some progress this week :D
1940s f1 car???? You got something messed up there .... There was a small event called WW2 no f1 races or cars were built in the early 40's. Do you mean a post war car or prewar.
Should’ve done one continuous straight boards from the front to the fire wall. Would make it sturdier!
Other than that, awesome job!
