Man I'm glad you haven't went away from the unique bad ass builds we all followed you for. It's so easy for guys to start doing common "popular" builds to gain more of a following but when people do they lose what made them who they are. Much respect to you for not doing that.
I really appreciate that, Jesse! It really means a lot to me. I definitely know that these weird, quirky cars are not the mainstream, and that totally works against growth here on YT haha. I really just started doing all of this on YT to show people the things I’m into!
Awesome work for sure! Man that “engine bay” looks like it would take a Type 3 or Type 4/914 pancake motor really well. Then fab up an engine lid like a Type 3 to have two trunks! Next thing would be to make sure it gets its cooling.. A lot of T2 Bay window guys are fabbing those type 3 lids in to gain access to the top of their motors. Just my observation, but the upright motor with a more open set up would be best for cooling. Metal fab gets the mind wandering of endless possibilities! But ultimately what you do will be well thought out and well executed!
Thanks Alex! And yea man I originally (and still plan to) put a Corvair motor in it! They are also flat with horizontal fans, but sound amazing being 6cyl. The 1600 will get me up and running initially, and for the time being, I’ll probably make trunk hinge spacers to prop the deck lid away to act as an air scoop to help get air inside the bay. I appreciate the insight, and also the confidence in me! Haha
are you going to swap a Mazda rx7 rotary engine into it, Thay make an adapter plate, VW to rotary, that would be the perfect swap, has power and fit it like a glove, look into it, just an idea, no Presher,
Since it’s not going for a full resto you should suicide the doors it would be the topping on this build… I see no protection on those windows, I love seeing pitted glass with metal in them

Your video production and car quality is legit unmatched even for like 250k+ car youtubers
I really appreciate that man! It means a lot to me! I was just hoping for 10k this year 😂
Love this style video with the voice over man. Great job so far!!!
Thank you!
I’m really excited about this build. So cool. That 220v plug on the lift is an awesome idea. I wish I would have done that when I installed my lift.
Thanks man! And yea it’s already come in handy, I really needed to utilize the 220 power there
WHAT A RESTORE
Loving the work you are doing 👌👍 can’t wait to see how you do the bag setup. Keep it up
Thank you!
Keep up the great work. Such a cool build.
Thanks James!
Strong stanceworks vibes with the editing on this one and I like it
Thanks man!
Perfect timing, just hopped in bed after my top got stuck down in 30 degree weather lol
Sounds like whenever I drive the Corvair after October 😂😂😂
@@JohnLudwick i’ve been holding out until salt goes down this year, mostly putting off doing my throwout bearing
Very nice. Always wanted to get into welding but never had the time. Also while we do have one at my dealership it's never used🤣
There’s your opportunity! Haha. Yea I always say I wish I took more time to weld, you can always progress.
quality content!
Thank you!

@@JohnLudwick That all sounds like an awesome idea too! Of course man, I look forward to the next update!
You need to do a photoshoot with @gtijoe's crusty rabbit once this is done!
Yea man I love that Mk1!

That would be awesome!

Every window is actually taped off and covered!
@@JohnLudwick so you are paying attention… got you😝🤣🤣🤣🤣
beautiful work
Thanks man!
