This is art right here, y'all deserve soo much more
Thanks so much!!
This deserves so many more views the quality is nuts
Thanks so much man!
This is the type of content that is really inspiring. Sorting out how to move and reinforce things is the most intimidating part of taking on a hybrid project like this. You are showing that this type of thing is really possible. And if you dont have money, you better have time.
Also, my OCD would require symmetry in as many aspects as possible too.
Thanks man! It’s fun sorting all the little details!
I genuinely surprised you haven't got at least 100k subs yet, this channel is being slept on.
It’s coming! Slowly but surely!
@@slightlyMADcustoms Yeah man the go. In for the love and not fame. Have you ever though of starting a Patreon or similar? It would probably help the project even if it's only a little bit.
Ya we have considered although seems kinda silly to me 😂 we do have merch tho!
@@slightlyMADcustoms it's not that silly. Just give supporters access to the video 1 day early and maybe a brief thanks in a credit screen. What might be only a couple bucks a month for viewers might be hundreds or thousands of dollars. It can be used to help build the channel, buy parts, tools or even cars. Merch is cool to but for someone who isn't in the US it can get pretty expensive. I'm happy to give to creators I think deserve it.
Fair enough! Thanks for the input!
The safety squint was phenomenal! 🔥
You know it!
Been telling all the homies about you guys! Great channel and you deserve more viewers! Keep up the good work
We really appreciate that! Need more people like you!
Even in roll primer i love seeing this thing in one color. White doesnt look half bad!
I know right!? Really made us consider white 😂
Always happy to see a new slightly mad customs video
Thanks man! Always happy to see your comment 🙏
I'm saying it again. Your videos are amazing!!
Haha thanks man! We appreciate it every time 🙏
So glad y'all finally have a guard on your angle grinder :-P
Lol
Support comment from Guam 🇬🇺
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bro these welds 😧🥵
🙏🙏 some thick bois
Every part of the process is interesting!
Well thanks!
@@slightlyMADcustoms We can't truly appreciate all the effort that goes into building a car like this, but seeing all these little things you guys are figuring out is really interesting. There are so many factors to consider before you start a build and so many more that you need to figure out during the build. I like seeing the thought process and all the options you guys consider.
Thank you! I felt a little bad that this episode wasn’t super interesting but you’ve made me feel better about it. I appreciate the support!
I can't wait to see this thing rip!
Us too!
welding on top of a milk crate; you savage
Ya wasn’t the best welding table 😂😂
Just because it’s not crazy stuff doesn’t make it less interesting bro. The little things in the build can make all the difference
Ya for sure! We’re at the point in the build where there’s so many little details to wrap up, paint will be the next big thing
@@slightlyMADcustoms personal question. I am starting up my TH-cam chanel today and would like to ask. What video editing platform are you using?
I use Final Cut Pro X!
@@slightlyMADcustoms Thanks, But I have PC so I'm not sure what to use now. Adobe keeps crashing so i can't even open it.
@@Virgorilla sorry man I don't have any other suggestions for you!
Looks insane already !!😍
Thanks!
Amazing quality vid, as always
Thanks so much!
Nice
Very nice
Amazing content as usual! 🤤
🙏🙏🙏
7:45 you could get a hydro-boost pack instead, they're like, super thin
Looks like the booster will work. And it’s so much more simple
Looks amazing! I love this build!
Thanks so much!
What about the breaks?
This car goma be super fast and needs good breaks to stop her.
Super cool build.
Current plans are to keep the stock brakes. We’ll see how the car feels once we drive it a bit
You should put a viper gts naca duct as to a nod of what’s under the hood.
That would look cool! Although I think we’re going with the clean look
Love the content
Thanks so much!
You guys should really check with calvo motorsports for any power adders for the engine
For sure!
If you don't mind my suggesting, I think you should combine the behind the build with the main videos, and include what you might think is mundane content as well, your standard of production is so high that I wouldn't even mind an hour of slow motion drilling.
I hear you! Our thinking was our main build series is just the best of the best. For people who aren’t as technical and just want to see the fun stuff, it’s super appealing. Then the true car guys have their own dedicated series. But I see both sides
@@slightlyMADcustoms I totally get you guys, and at the end of the day it's your preference that goes, I'll watch it all either way. I just think that the demographic that views these videos will be watching it all either way too.
True true! Something to consider. Thanks for sharing my dude!
i love the videos!
Thanks man!
You guys going to Cerakote the headers for heat management? there is an air cure formula that works very well.
Ya we’ll probably be ceramic coating them!

I'm always wondering where you got all this knowledge?
Just years of modifying our own cars and watching other people do it on TH-cam!
Would the torque of the engine ever make it roll and hit the brake booster?
Nah, engine wouldn’t move that much. As long as the engine mounts are healthy 😂
Awesome build, so are you looking at putting the Mazda 626 master cylinder in? Also what are you doing for the brakes? On my build I'd like to put radial mount bmw 135i 6 piston fronts with 4 piston rear(factory brembos) fairly cheap, 1k or less for a set, great brakes for the lightweight rx7 buuuut no parking provision. Was looking at a custom rear mount that allows a wilwood parking brake to keep the factory handbrake but it's possible to use a conversion kit to use the handbrake hydraulically with the rears, just gotta keep it in gear to make sure the pressure does bleed off over time if left
Those are some great ideas! For the time being we’re planning on just keeping the factory brakes. This build will mainly be seeing street driving and won’t need any more breaking than what was needed with a factory FD. And then once the car is built and on the road, we can look at changing up the brake system if we’re not happy with it!
Great work so far guys. I do have a question. Why don't you guys go with a different technology for the brake booster. I saw the hoonigan using a hydro booster on they're donk build. Have a look at that if space is at a minimum.
Nah there’s a fingers width of clearance which is tons relative to some of the other clearances on this build 😂 I’d take a brake booster over hydro boost if I have the option because it’s so so simple and reliable. Hydro boost adds more high pressure oil lines to the car which just means more possible problems
@@slightlyMADcustoms I hear that. But I really love the builds. Your voices are the late night radio kind of soothing. You guys rock
Haha thanks man! Never been told that before!
How many hours do you have into sanding? I was floored when you said it took 6 hours to just tape.
Well over 100 hours for sure. Not even including the initial stripping down the chassis. We’re aiming to do a show car quality paint job so we’ve been really taking our time making it razor straight!
That brake booster is a fatty!
I was really surprised it fit😂
Soo what colour the car gonna be painted?
We’re going safari gold off the old datsuns!
@@slightlyMADcustoms yooo cant wait !!!
Ya dude!
