He's probably not afraid to show exactly how he does it because he knows very few people, if any, would devote the same amount of effort as him to accomplish something like this. Amazing.
I can say, you are the most talented and hard- working person. I am from Russia and back in 1980s we had as TV programm called " you can do this" about incredible inventions and car designs made of crap in their garages . Look at one of those named PANGELINA. Big respect to you. And such a tasteful car you got.
the way that the tool and the craftsman shape the metal reminds of how the knowledge and wisdom of the craft shapes the 'material' of the mind as well... making the mind's eye an ever increasingly more refined and capable tool as well... the mind-heart-consciousness-memory-recognizer is the greatest too ever...
Your building skills are only superseded by your design work! This car should go into full production so more people can enjoy it. Keep up the fantastic work.
I saw your interview with Jay Leno and test drive of one of your creations... It was amazing and you were so humble about your skill and vision. The combination of German design was so wonderful, a combo of Porsche, Mercedes and VW... Like Jay said it's great to see a young man keeping the old skills alive, the hand building of sports cars.. it's great to have cars that can do 200 mph but there's nothing like building something from the ground up and listening to it come alive.. keep up the great work and God bless you..
Great tutorial!! I have done this for years (twenty years ago) doing some of the cars I made. I also taught this stuff in my restoration classes in Lee and Hillsborough counties night school vocational programs. You did a great job of explination of the process. It is refreshing to see you NEW guys doing what we did back when. You are keeping the spirit alive that I thought was dying (or REALLY dead). Thank you.
I was a pattern and mold maker for the RV industry. This is how we did it before CNC machines. We first created a build table, then created profiles based on dimensions and design lines, then you fill it in with tje correct radius' and general shape. Add filler blocks, then start filling with Bondo and clay. Primer. Rough sand (36 grit) and straighten lines.2nd prime and final sanding, wax it all up, then build the mold off of it
Chris!! Nice of you to share this video with us!! Hoping that "some day soon" you get some financing to get a larger facility & talented staff to make more of your cars. They are truly beautiful creations that should be the collector cars of the future..
Outstanding work. You are truly a visionary on design and fabrication . I think if you had a CNC machine and computer doing the bucking frame in metal , your labor would be minimal . But having make this car by hand truly takes an artist. Love your video
Congratulations!!! you've been promoted to my top 5 Hero list.... If you had an apprenticeship and I was 20 years younger I would jump at it!!! Great work... Very inspirational... I wish I had your talent and knowledge!!! Keep at it!!
Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to record and share this process, and also coming back here to answer questions. As I commented on (I think) your Instagram post, I'm really looking forward to watching this build come together.
Brother you're doing beautiful work. If an old broken down fabricator can I offer you some valuable advice? Build yourself a frame jig and get out of the floor. It don't seem like a lot today but all that crawling about in the floor will destroy your back and knees. Outside that.... you're the man
Hi Chris, amazing work, learning to shape metal is on my bucket list. I am a cabinet maker and luthier. I would recommend to you purchasing a large edge sander and bandsaw. It would make creating your buck much faster. Thanks for sharing your work!
Great video Chris, I use a 6" thick 8x4 sheet of polystyrene to cut shapes out on, it supports the plywood completely without interfering with the saw blade

That’s brilliant 👍🏻 I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!
Awesome work Chris. Your cars have real soul and character. Takes me back to the days before I started designing my cars on computer. Must admit I would struggle with the hand drawn templates today. I'm so used to drawing every curve in Solidworks now.☺and of course CNC router instead of jigsaw and belt sander.
Well done! I'm a fiberglass man if I were there we would make that a mold and filled the ribs with foam . Shape in and sanded it and start a car company! Good luck dude!
Is this guy in Minnesota? On Jay Leno's Garage he said something about a Porsche car club in Mn. Seeing the car is cool enough. To see the build go from cardboard to wood to the whole thing is amazzzzzing!!
I am great fan of your work , really impressive also informative you have inborn talent keep up the good work , it gives us inspiration & knowledge for own personal development !
This man is amazing he really nods his stuff and so well explained I can’t wait to see the metal being shaped on to the buck love it it so far larrysullivan in London x
Ive been watching your progression over the years. I watch your videos over and over, in awe. I assume the person who commissioned this build had a big influence on the design. This one doesnt have the vintage attributes of your others. It is beautiful and love your work! FF04 is my fav though :) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THESE VIDEOS! ! !

Thank you for taking the time to watch! This design was actually one of my own I had drawn in 2016 and then worked out to more of a final rendering in 2017. A customer saw the rendering and said lets go for it. The chassis was built at a race shop and is really advanced compared to my classic chassis on the previous builds. FF004 is available for purchase!!!
RÜNGE CARS There isnt ONE aspect on any of your builds that I'd change, the designs are breathtaking. As for FF04, I thought it sold a long time ago...? Im sure I'd be $100k shy :)
Very cool, Mr! I've recently gotten into metal shaping as, like many of your viewers, have wanted to build a car from scratch for ever! Keep up the good work, buddy! Paul Whiteman, Great Britain.
This is inspirational. Huge thanks for taking the time to share in detail your process. I am eager to watch this project progress and unfold. Keep up the amazing job 👌👍👌
Looks little bit like spyker...super car...but futuristic a bit like iconic ford GT 40.....super craftsmanship keep going ur work is prefect u r moving on right path ...it's my also childhood dream....
You Sir have great command of your creative skills and abilities making your videos a pleasurable, and satisfying experience to behold. I would love to take your RUNGE R2 creation for a few laps at Watsons Glen track. I think that experience would be indescribable. You are an artist. Love your work. Cheers !
He's probably not afraid to show exactly how he does it because he knows very few people, if any, would devote the same amount of effort as him to accomplish something like this. Amazing.
This is the same process as model plane building but on a larger scale. It isn't difficult once there is a little experience.
It’s just that most of us can’t, because we’re just to damn busy working our lives away...
It does bodywork as it was done a long time ago, nothing secret
Showing this might even make some people go into those kind of career
Yes, also this is a dying art, coach building. Its some serious skills that takes yrs to master.
He would love it if more people did what he's doing. I think that's why he puts so much effort into teaching.
When I searched for making cardboard mold for fiberglass, I did not expect to find something like this! So sick. Bravo!
I can say, you are the most talented and hard- working person. I am from Russia and back in 1980s we had as TV programm called " you can do this" about incredible inventions and car designs made of crap in their garages . Look at one of those named PANGELINA. Big respect to you. And such a tasteful car you got.
It would be a great thing if the world had a lot more of this type of car craft and creativity in it !
Nothing like 'building' the car twice! Nothing but RESPECT Chris! 😎🏆🏆💪
wow ....almost speechless your level of skill... i would expect you to be 65 years old . Absolutely incredible sir
the way that the tool and the craftsman shape the metal reminds of how the knowledge and wisdom of the craft shapes the 'material' of the mind as well... making the mind's eye an ever increasingly more refined and capable tool as well... the mind-heart-consciousness-memory-recognizer is the greatest too ever...
i will never look at a cardboard box the same way, thanks for showing your passion
This video demonstrates what an artisan can do with relatively simple tools and materials. Bravo!
Fascinating process; I wish I were a young man again to get into this kind of work. Thank you.
Your building skills are only superseded by your design work! This car should go into full production so more people can enjoy it. Keep up the fantastic work.

Thank you for making this video,and for the cardboards use, brilliant
This is super cool. Modern technology car, built using the old coach builder ways. Amazing!!
These videos are so much fun to watch. What talent and old school technique. So great that you have a market.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Thanks for posting.

I like how you explain what ypur doing its obvious you've had alot of trial and error which hones your fabricating skill.keep up the hard work
Congratulations!!! you've been promoted to my top 5 Hero list.... If you had an apprenticeship and I was 20 years younger I would jump at it!!! Great work... Very inspirational... I wish I had your talent and knowledge!!! Keep at it!!
I so admire your skils. Live long and produce plenty.
Well done man! You should be really proud of your job !
Fantastic work, very good, amazing too. I am building for many years a Jaguar e type with lots of welding and make parts for her.
I love your work. Thank you so much for showing the processes. You are the man
I can see your passion in your work, congratulations.
brilliant & hardworking young man !
young american should be like him and less social media
just awesome Craftsmanship old school.... feel in love instantly. Awesome Design of your Cars and they actually grow during building.
You are a legend in the making
What a piece of artwork !
This is some old school engineering right here. The same way old Jags, and many other sports cars were built...!
Best luck,for You,and Thanks for what You Do👍
Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to record and share this process, and also coming back here to answer questions. As I commented on (I think) your Instagram post, I'm really looking forward to watching this build come together.

Excellent video! Exactly what I was looking for.👍
This looks so great ... one of the best looking car ever
Chris the detail and time you put into this, it is inspiring. One day I'll get their.
Baby steps
Hi Chris, amazing work, learning to shape metal is on my bucket list. I am a cabinet maker and luthier. I would recommend to you purchasing a large edge sander and bandsaw. It would make creating your buck much faster. Thanks for sharing your work!
Truly admire you and your work, you're a great inspiration
This guy is so talented. Wow!
Great video Chris, I use a 6" thick 8x4 sheet of polystyrene to cut shapes out on, it supports the plywood completely without interfering with the saw blade
That’s brilliant 👍🏻 I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!
Art, real art
Can't wait to see the skin/metal on this one. It's already looking beautiful.
Yeah, ... but is he gonna use ready made panels, or shape the aluminum himself ???
Id'e like to watch him make them. !!!
Awesome work Chris. Your cars have real soul and character. Takes me back to the days before I started designing my cars on computer. Must admit I would struggle with the hand drawn templates today. I'm so used to drawing every curve in Solidworks now.☺and of course CNC router instead of jigsaw and belt sander.
Thank you. Can you tell me about the best program for designing?
What a privilege to watch you work. You are an artist and I absolutely love your work.
Well done! I'm a fiberglass man if I were there we would make that a mold and filled the ribs with foam . Shape in and sanded it and start a car company! Good luck dude!
Hello I like your I too build cars and you have given me new insight. On different methods to fabrication.
Your a master. Inspires me to start on my 1919 la France speedster ....
That thing is gorgeous. I am so grateful that you are sharing your process. I feel like I'm looking at elements from MacLaren and Carrera GT.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your mind with us, Chris. Rarely do most people have any insight into the design process.
I really enjoy watching your progress. Very impressive for sure. This is a car deserves to have many more made.
Sweeeeeeet Clever use of easily obtainable resources bro, love it. It’s like creating car art! Lol
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They're really interesting and inspirational.
You are already a hero in my book! God Bless You!
Your designs are timless classics.
Super cool Chris!
Also, congratulations on your Jay Leno Garage appearance, that was a neat surprise. You deserve to be recognised like that.
Looks like the display of '50s bucks at the Prototype Museum in Hamburg. Well worth a visit, for all fans of innovative wrenching.
Bucket list for me👍🏻👍🏻
A lot of thinking involved here...Well done.
Beautiful design and great execution as always.
Awesome work! Can't wait to see the metal start to flow!
Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
This is immensely helpful. Thank you!
Kudos to you. Your work is exemplar.
Is this guy in Minnesota? On Jay Leno's Garage he said something about a Porsche car club in Mn. Seeing the car is cool enough. To see the build go from cardboard to wood to the whole thing is amazzzzzing!!
Admiral work. Reminds me of my work style some 35 years ago. Very rewarding. Thanks for posting.
What a pleasure to watch
Most excellent! Ill be following right along.
Awesome! Great design work!
A craftsman at work, very clever.
Very Cool.You can let your imagine run wild!
Very nice. This is gonna have a much more exotic look to it, instead if a karmann Ghia look. This is gonna be badass when it's finally shaped in metal
I am great fan of your work , really impressive also informative you have inborn talent keep up the good work , it gives us inspiration & knowledge for own personal development !
Very awesome thing you do
You do amazing work, Chris! It's always a pleasure for me to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done. I'm looking at semi-monocoque fuselage construction. 3D rendered for 3D printing. Carbon fiber. This gave me food for thought.
Thanks for the videos, great tutorial and demonstration on building a buck! Each design and finished car is "A Masterpiece" !
This stuff is so cool. Was super happy to see you posted a new video this morning. Keep it up.
Runge Cars Rock!
This man is amazing he really nods his stuff and so well explained I can’t wait to see the metal being shaped on to the buck love it it so far larrysullivan in London x
Congratulations, it looks great.
Great video, Man your so Talented, Great Job...!

Please.
Chris, you're skills are just amazing. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool, Mr! I've recently gotten into metal shaping as, like many of your viewers, have wanted to build a car from scratch for ever! Keep up the good work, buddy! Paul Whiteman, Great Britain.
Thank you for posting and sharing your work, inspiring stuff
Hi I love the cars you build.
Great thing is its definitely a one of a kind car!
This is inspirational. Huge thanks for taking the time to share in detail your process. I am eager to watch this project progress and unfold. Keep up the amazing job 👌👍👌
This is awesome just what I was looking for, I like that you are doing it all out of cardboard then transfer this design to Fiberglass
Thanks for the comment. Just a heads up, I don’t use any fiberglass...?
Good job! Not everyone can do what you are doing!
Maaaan this is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your process.
Looks little bit like spyker...super car...but futuristic a bit like iconic ford GT 40.....super craftsmanship keep going ur work is prefect u r moving on right path ...it's my also childhood dream....
Wow....I admire, envy, and appreciate your mind and skill set. Amazing. Truly talented.
This is incredible
I'm doing my research now. I've got a mid engine design I'd like to make reality. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You Sir have great command of your creative skills and abilities making your videos a pleasurable, and satisfying experience to behold. I would love to take your RUNGE R2 creation for a few laps at Watsons Glen track. I think that experience would be indescribable. You are an artist. Love your work. Cheers !
Nice! looks like a fun time!
Wow i'm impressed!
very good work.excellent
