Everyone more interested in the beard than the car, videos are 75% face and beard, 25% build. Camera is facing the wrong way dude.( this video has more car content than most )
I ust say what an inspiration to watch. The knowledge and also making it viewable for everyone on youtube like this. Is really like TV quality man. I love to series and it is a HUGE inspiration for me to get going myself!
If that’s the original paint I would try to match up the widebody to it. Might be the coolest thing to be left after your done. Shows how clean the car really was
This thing is going to be an absolute weapon! The K24 and the Tipo 106 BB both make 200hp stock but the K24 is lighter and has way more tuning potential.
I'm sure my 308 never had any insulation aside from simple heat shields around the exhaust. The rear trunk was all just single ali skin plus underlay and carpet. But it did cook anything in the trunk! Those steel bracing struts were clearly visible behind the engine. It also didn't have the rusty bits you had to get rid off, but it looks like they were just covering the federalised bumper mounts. No wonder US cars were so heavy!
It sure would be awesome to get your hands on a dry ice blaster for this project!!!! It would help remove crap and clean immensely! Without damaging the underlying materials.
When you do get around to painting it, I hope you find a nice metallic or pearl yellow, like Ford's Tangerine Scream from the Focus ST. I think it's probably the closest to the slightly goldenrod tone of the stock yellow paint on the Ferrari while still adding the pearl shift that makes body lines more striking. There are tons of lovely OEM and custom yellows to choose from. Lotus and Porsche have some great ones, as do Ferrari and Lamborghini. I'm just more familiar with the Focus ST since it's more common in my area.
I know. I was like, who is this guy? I shaved in January for the first time since April. My daughter was 10 months old the last time she saw me with no facial hair. Thankfully she was only confused and not scared. My 3 year old saw me as I was sneaking across the house and asked my wife who that was.
My army unit had gotten a new commander and the first month or so he knew me, I had a gloriously bad mustache. I was gone for a few weeks and came back without one and he spent a day trying to find me. I am hoping we can get a race between this and Tavarish's 20B swapped 355.
@@stanceworks Ichange my face hair status all the time too 😁. Just that since i have been watching the channel you have had the big beard. Great content BTW, this project is one of a kind!
I like the break down you provide in your videos. Keep it going! And yes.....the absence of the beard threw me. If I was watching with the sound off, I would’ve thought it was someone else.
Good to see you wearing a mask and goggles around that insulation and metal dust-filled air, Mike. The build is coming along nicely. Each Episode ratches up the anticipation a notch towards that final engine start and test drive to come. The shave makes you look younger by the way...a bit less DIYer and a little more chassis technician/race car engineer specialist :)
@@stanceworks if you were in AZ I could take care of it for you. I'm sure there's people out your way that do it to. Good luck with it. Great build. Love to see your progress.
That’s a lot of unobstructed vertical height out back, could probably run a rear mount intercooler ducted from under the car to out the rear above the diffuser.
Presentation style has definitely improved. Very watchable. You have taken a lot of metalwork off the car that surely helps with the rigidity. The engine going in has more? torque than the old engine. You sure you are not weakening the frame now?
I wish I had the means to get it dipped or blasted, but doing that, and doing a proper job after, adds probably $10-15k in cost and a LOT of time I don't have. That's the right way to do it, but it's not the way I'll be doing it this time around. I'll be painting what I grind down myself with wrinkle black to match the factory Ferrari chassis work.
I really dont think thats rockwool to be honest. RockWool is a brand of insulation that makes insulation out of mineral wool (melted diabase and coke) Rockwool isnt white, its more of a green/yellow color and its not that fine. Could be glass wool but who knows. You should get it checked to be 100% sure, the gloves are almost enough if its glass wool but you should were some protective gear for your lungs and eyes sake. Stay safe and awesome build!
Look up loose rock rool, it's identical and bright white. It's known in the Ferrari community, at least, as rock wool, although it may have another name. The upshot is that it is not Asbestos.
A car that can be used on the street and a street car are to different things. I’m going for the former. This thing will be way too nuts to drive as a normal vehicle when finished. I don’t think I’ll need a trunk.
@@ssaxmanful I'd agree saving 3 pounds is dumb, but we're at nearly 60 from the trunk area at this point. If I don't need the space back there for any ancillaries, I will put some aluminum back in to retain some level of usability, but as said, right now I'm just trying to get access to structure, first and foremost.
Hi Mike! I'm a fan of your builds since a few years and also a music producer. If you ever need customized music for your channel contact me! It would be an honor

Taking the weight savings to the extreme huh! Did you weigh the beard??
It probably weighed a TON!
I thought the same but didn't wrote it. 😅
I knew someone would comment on it!
My wife said he doesn't look like a bum anymore 😆
LOL 😂
Extreme Weight Shavings (that is not a typo)
Oh God, where is the beard?
Interesting strategy for weight savings

Really, how can we take this guy seriously without a beard and a ton of tattoos?
@@whelk do you get the point of the joke?
Mike was known for his opulent beard, and that was the first video where he cut it short
@@beratsbuilds 1. I've just started watching his videos. 2. I was making a joke of my own regarding the stereotype of guys doing these builds.
I didn't realize how local you were, right down the street from Sleepers. Nice work.
Hands down onw of my favorite builds going on right now! Great job.
I'm happy I stumbled across your channel. I've admired your builds over the years, so it's cool to get to see them come together.
Thanks!
You do an excellent job explaining your mindset on this project, thank you. This is a must-watch for me 🏆
I appreciate that!
I ust say what an inspiration to watch. The knowledge and also making it viewable for everyone on youtube like this. Is really like TV quality man. I love to series and it is a HUGE inspiration for me to get going myself!
I'm really glad that you got a clean car to begin with.
It's nice to see that everything works out as you have planned ☺️
This is a build that actually has me impatient for the end. I’m not into Honda’s but this is definitely cool.
If that’s the original paint I would try to match up the widebody to it. Might be the coolest thing to be left after your done. Shows how clean the car really was
Looks awesome. Like how much dialogue you have with your progress. If there was a book on how to kswap a Ferrari this would be it.
Looking sharp, best car show on TH-cam I reckon
This thing is going to be an absolute weapon! The K24 and the Tipo 106 BB both make 200hp stock but the K24 is lighter and has way more tuning potential.
If you use hacksaw blades u can cut them in half and use in your recipricating saw. TIP!

As you take this thing apart, it is clear that the car was built much like what you would find from a moderately skilled home builder.
"moderately"
You’re seriously underrated your videos are amazing and so many people would enjoy what you do keep it up!
I appreciate that!

that free hoist is quite nice to have :)
its great to see all that metal cut and weight Shaved
Excellent choice of work beverage!
Dang mike, you’ve really done some awesome stuff since our days an TNDubs/TNEuros. Back before Rusty was “Rusty”. Congrats man.
I have absolutely nothing to do with this car, but seriously, I'm so happy you removerd a ton of stupid weight from it!!! 🙂
Cant believe you just skipped over the fact your beard has gone, that can be classed as weight out of the car 😆. Good progress on the car btw!

I guess if you don't know me, I tend to chop my beard off regularly, so I didn't think much of it.

Super Excellent Project LOVE IT!!!!
Love the way you work!
Beard trim looks good mate
See you also removed the rock wool from you face too. 😆. Add lightness!
did not recognise you for a moment there,keep it coming great content👏
Looks more like electrolytic rust at 3:01, it's focused around contact points that wouldn't normally hold water very long.
Almost 30k now Mike! Great video once again!!
So close!
6:28 Random Access Memories... NICE.
Don't know a thing about cars so no engine swaps wish I knew what this guy does but it runs so ok, but that body kit
That's a very nice neighbor of yours
Good to see you wearing a mask and goggles around that insulation and metal dust-filled air, Mike.

Glad I'm not the only person that trimmed a ton off their beard this past weekend! 😅
Mike, have you thought about Dustless Blasting to clean up that engine bay? It would certainly save you a lot of time and energy.
I haven’t! I’ll have to look into that.
@@stanceworks if you were in AZ I could take care of it for you. I'm sure there's people out your way that do it to. Good luck with it. Great build. Love to see your progress.

Makes me want to keep my 308 and get the body kit

It's a shame that the sound deadning held water. But could be worse.
Thanks for another great video.
I wonder how much all of the glue weighs ?
Shave for aerodynamic efficiency.
Great video
Good lord! It looks like you could build that chassis from metal you bought at Home Depot!
Try using a wire brush to clear the teeth on the reciprcating saw and ALways use cutting fluid on the blade. probles should be solved.
Good solid content.
Adam savage must be watching your videos for tool tips now!
Good call on the beard, you look 10 years younger!
It’s like your trying to build a larger version of a Fiat x1/9 😃
I think you are on to something. I would not surpriced if Ferrare makes a 3 or 4 turbo Dino
Hey, Mike, you trimmed your beard. Looking good! Also, I forgot to mention kuddos on your video editing skills. Nice job! Cheers!;)
Great beard cut.
I wonder how much replacing Square tubing structural pieces with Chrome Moly would save in the front and rear
chromoly
Chromem oly
12:05
Never put a wire brush into a drill. It won't work straight and will have a lot of unfixable play if you do
You should media blast that chassis. Get it perfect.
That’s the ideal scenario. I just don’t want to media blast the body too.
I wonder if it's worth replacing the sheet metal with pre-made carbon fibre honeycomb cut to fit.
Just started the video not even 3 words in but wow rip the beard
Good morning Opie :-)
Are you going to get the entire chassis acid dipped to clean it off, or just sand/grind it back where you need to before painting it?
I wish I had the means to get it dipped or blasted, but doing that, and doing a proper job after, adds probably $10-15k in cost and a LOT of time I don't have. That's the right way to do it, but it's not the way I'll be doing it this time around. I'll be painting what I grind down myself with wrinkle black to match the factory Ferrari chassis work.
Nice job. Very interesting project 👍
Youre not worried that you lost rigidity when removing the sheet metal?
Ohhh u a model guy oky oky. I lik ur video I just stated to watch ur videos but Im trying to catch up good luck on ur built man
I'm sure that you will reinforce the whole engine bay, but Cutting the sheet metal between the bars will still compromise a lot of rigidity.
How many blades, bits, pads and discs have you gone thru so far?
Make sure you prime all that bare metal before it starts rusting again!
Oh my god, he slipped the die grinder right into his face... 😱 Really: looks better to me! More of the nice face. 👍
I know I'm late to the party, but I almost disliked this cos of the loss of beard 🤣
Loving this series so much, nice work mate!
Let the beard comment roll ! Keep up the good work man!

Noooo rip beard
less face , more car. THX
lol you sound so much like Kermit the Frog :) Loving the build
@10:52 no one likes a messy workspace. I wouldn't be able to move on until each section ready for its next step.
looks like you could use an air chisel for some of this work
Where's Grizzly Adams 😁 Less face weight !
Who's the new guy :)?
Pahaha I came for the beard based comments.
Great work as ever, it’s a shame rock wool isn’t so heavy
who are you and what did you do w mike burroughs
it just makes me feel good to see a Ferrari getting cut up and swapped with a Honda engine
If you google "rockwool" you will see it is always brown. That white insulation on your car is not rockwool. Im glad you wore a mask!
Look up loose rock rool, it's identical and bright white. It's known in the Ferrari community, at least, as rock wool, although it may have another name. The upshot is that it is not Asbestos.

Seems that somebody else decided to cut the beard back today .
So, you're OCD too.......makes for good work....
Way better without the beard
