love your content great stuff!! i still struggle to understand how u fit the body to the chassis after its all done. would love to see u upload the whole process to a complete car
Thanks man! We'll be going through the whole process in the next couple of months. Step one is making the ali boby and removing it completely from the buck, then the internal structure like firewall etc. then fitment to the chassis
It looks like you're doing regular doors. So, you're only inspired by CSX-2196? I'm really enjoying watching you guys work. My own project is slow going. I wouldn't have considered doing a flip top, myself. Your D type inspired me to do this very thing. I'm scratch building the chassis too.
Very interesting Matthew. Given that fibreglass is so flammable, are you not worried about the buck catching fire whilst you are TIG welding? Can you please tell me what the hand tool that you used to file/rub down the aluminium is called? Many thanks. David
Thanks. Im not really worried about the buck catching on fire with the tacking, the worst that happens is you just melt the gelcoat. It's a body file mounted to a wooden handle.
@@BroughBuilt There are so many choices out there & although the small block Chevy is a better motor, to me it's sacrilege to put a Chev motor in a "Ford".
Great work Matthew, really enjoy your workflow and explanation of each step. What filler rod do you use with 5000series alloy? We mostly work with 3003 and 1100 filler in the states.
Hello guys! what grade of aluminium are you using in the body panels? I can hear that it is a stiffer" than normal type of alloy, is it 5075 or? cheers from Sweden
Making a body only is about a four month process. Body style and buck availability has a huge impact on cost. but your looking at anywhere from $25k to $35k
You talk so fast and run your words together without a pause that I need to use the closed captions to understand what you’re saying. Very interesting otherwise.
golden talents , can't believe you guys don't have 1M subs.
Matthew your absolutely flying! That body is looking sweet! Great job man 👍
Nice work Guys. I have CAD drawing for to build a Timber Buck for the 427 Cobra.
That is awesome work, you will never see those joints. Such talent.
I really should have paid more attention in metal shop class back in high school 😂

It's amazing how much work was done in 27 minutes. That would have taken me almost an hour.
😂
No need to be so modest. Of course you could have done it in 55minutes. 😅

Wicked. Great work mate.
Great work

Nice work! Do you also weld the backside of the butt joint?
What's happening with the AC cobra build
Looking forward to another great video. Have you decided yet, which motor & gearbox youre going to use?
This body is being built for a client. Don't know for sure what he plans on using for pony power

Agreed. I'd also prefer keeping with the brand.
su-bloody-perb!

Thanks! We make our own filler rods from the apparent material so the weld will become invisible. 3003 is nearly impossible to get here in SA

Its 5754 in 1.5mm thickness
Looking good! Where did you get your Clicko's? Not an easy thing to buy here in SA.
Amazon
not easy at all. but amazon sometimes
i think you should leave the weld beads on there, give it a Frankenstein look.
Things would have been so much simpler 😁
@@BroughBuilt looks great
awesome work, how long is the process from start to finish and a rough estimate of the cost please mate?
Making a body only is about a four month process. Body style and buck availability has a huge impact on cost. but your looking at anywhere from $25k to $35k
I have the same ear protectors as Matthew... how come I can't do the same?
😂
Amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
I noticed the problem immediately, your left handed! Just kidding from another Matthew.
18:10 my gf walked in an was like how is this interesting?! ... Bad timing.
😁
