Having rattle canned my car 3 times now, I'm still at about 1/2 the price of a proper paint job and people are always shocked when they find out the current paint job is a driveway rattle can job. It's all in the prep, finishing and knowing your equipment.
Me: man I've got a lot to do today Also me: Ooo a new Stanceworks video 😅 It's crazy seeing some of what they got away with at the factory there. Great update Mike, looking forward to seeing this in person!
Hello from the cold north west of England Mike, one thing l want to thank you for is your commitment to telling the whole dogged truth about the shoddy construction methods employed by Ferrari you uncovered during this build, it’s refreshing to finally see someone being completely honest about these cars instead of blindly worshipping them, thanks for that 👍 God bless you and yours and best wishes 🙏🏻
I think that what you do the metal prior to using a spray paint can matters even more. The fact that you sandblasted and applied that texture to all the metal means that it will adhere and its probably responsible for giving you such a uniform finish.
The uniform finish is a Steel-It thing, it was designed to give you a uniform finish no matter how you spray it, of course, have good metal under it also helps.
California… where being in the middle of a shoot-out is a giggle, but filming yourself spray paint a car outside would be dangerous 😂 great content as ever!
With that valve cover, watch out for the baffling being insufficient with the lower profile. (Any lateral loading will dump loads of oil on your trans.) You'll definitely need to tie the valve cover to a catch can of some variety rather than venting to atmosphere. Can also utilize the front-facing ports instead of the side so that there's a little more vertical distance before you start dumping oil.
It doesn't matter to me how long it takes. I think getting it tested with the engine before you design chassis is simply practical. You'd want to get the bugs worked out and really know the car before you do that. Every video you make is artistic, well narrated, a joy to watch. I don't care what you're building I just enjoy watching your videos, appreciating your process and great organization in accomplishing these goals. You're excellent in every measure.
I really hope your bearings still fit into your control arms. Standard practice while welding those bearing cups it to buy or machine a slug that you insert before welding to help keep its shape and absorb and dissipate the heat.
After seeing the bay painted, I really need to go back and redo my cage paint with the steel-it. That turned out perfect. Cant wait to see it all back together.
Its been beautiful watching this come together for a while. I cant wait to experience your joy when you drive it for the first time, and that is so so soon!
"You can't polish a turd" Probably the first piece of advice my father gave me that I ever remembered. Love it! Last here I had some shady neighbors move in next door. We ended up being drug and gun dealers and over 30 SWAT officers raided the house! Is amazing!
10:52 F**KIN' SOLID! I'm far from an expert, I know very little about painting, but as you said, without your reveal, I would never, ever tell that it just sprayed! Absolutely beautiful work!
Crazy stuff. Unstable people shouldnt have guns in the first place but hey atleast it makes the neighbourhood more exciting. Car is coming along great though.
glad you were safe hope everyone else involved in the shootout can say the same. the engine bay looks GREAT for a rattlecan i’ve never seen it look so good
Watching this late as I was traveling for work all week. Paint turned out great Mike! Saw the crazy swat team shootout as it was developing on your IG story. Now you can jokingly say you were forced by SWAT to work on the Ferrari build when talking to people. Definitely a wild story to have, glad you're safe man.
I finally caught up with this build! I found your channel because of the Audi UR quattro (one of my favorite cars). So for the past month and a half, I'd watch 2 or 3 vids a night. I love your style, can't wait for future videos!
From experience, you might want to order a second set of axels. Customs one are kind of a pain when one is going out track side and you need a replacement 😜
And suspension arms-uprights-etc etc etc etc. Should have built some spares while he had the jigs out. This car will be off the road for a loooong time if he bends it.
I have used Steel It a few times and that stuff is AWESOME!!!!!! It is a bit pricey, but it lays down so great and dries even better! Great stuff! I think you have made a good choice using it for your chassis. Keep up the great work!
I've spent two and a half weeks of my YT time just watching this whole build. Its truly epic - an insane amount of skill involved. I'm pretty partial to a stock 308 - but I love what you've done with this. Keep up the great work!
I’ve rattle canned countless bike tins used a good automotive clear on the tanks and I often time impressed myself after some sanding and buffing. I wouldn’t recommend it as an exterior alternative on a car, you can, but aerosol cans tend to have tons of hardeners added which is good and bad. Drys fast but doesn’t have the flexibility of a base coat clear coat. I think your job turned out killer my man.
I did some cleaning last night in mine. It def makes a difference. I also spent an hour trying to get an overhead rack mounted only to realize 2 of the joists are only 13 inches apart where the ouside corner is. 🤦♂️
it honestly BLOWS my mind how much this car cost back in the day, and THATS the kind of welds they gave you for that price. its honestly disappointing hah
Great update. Good to finally see some paint on that chassis! Looking forward to see how you work some covers and the parts that support the lower rear body.
i am getting so excited for the finished 308 now! Please choose a nice colour. I vote for a gun metal grey with 2 black racing stripes, or the glossiest black ever! 😉
FYI. Magnesium is notoriously hard to finish like powder coating. And Steel-It is sooo good. Im a huge fan of both the spray can and the spray gun finish of this stuff. Have used it all over my resto.
Mike keep up the great work we are almost there lol I say we because all of us true fans on TH-cam literally can’t wait for you to post a video about that car in particular I think it’s the most enjoyable content today. Coming from a guy that loves drifting and MMA
Thanks for the content. The satin black of the engine bay looks awesome. Hope everyone involved in the incident stayed alive and safe. Stay safe as well.
As if you weren't bad-ass enough... you throw in snipers, guns, drones, and a crazy story line that will make the evening news. Well played Mike... well played.
Definitely run some heat reflective foil on the bulkhead and on the fuel tank, or ideally an aluminium heat shield around the tank (hot fuels less efficient, and you don’t wanna cook yourself if you’re not running AC either)
Engine bay does look fantastic and while I do believe in 2 pack paint in an engine bay I totally get your reasoning for using the paint that you did. BTW I was not 1/2 a mile from your place on Wednesday dropping a car off on 17th with the roads all closed off by the Police. Crazy stuff and thanks for filling in the blanks (no firearm pun intended).
Yes, the spray paint in a handheld aerosol can looks very nice if applied with finesse, but it is not as tough as catalyzed epoxy primer and catalyzed urethane enamel. God protect those snipers!
I love how you keep throwing fuel on the fire when it comes to talking trash about the 80s Ferrari craftsmanship. I fear that one day Mike goes to Italy, then never comes home.
Just casually recording your work on the 308 with a shootout going on next door. just another day I guess. That engine bay came out amazing btw can't wait for the next episode
I’ve adopted the 80/20 method from the talented Taylor Ray. 20% of the effort gets you 80% of the progress. The other 20% of progress tho takes 80% of the effort
Hey I'm a huge fan of your videos and know that you take care to read your comments and really care about feedback. Your videos are beautifully filmed and edited so this may be a bit of a nitpick. The white flash transitions are blinding in a dark room. I live in tokyo and its night time when you post usually and I just got blinded. Super not important but just wanted to let ya know. Awesome video as always, been waiting for this engine bay clean up for a long time its soooo good.
Anyone who turns down Steel-It for being "spray paint" doesn't really know how good that stuff is! I've seen complete cars painted with it and it turns out really good! Chris Forsberg's Nissan Z Pro drift car comes to mind, the engine bay in the Ferrari turned out really good despite Ferrari's crimes. 😅
These videos always inspire me to go out and wrench in my own shop. The grind is real. Just keep crossing stuff off that to-do list and it all comes together 🤘🏻🏎 💥
I love that his first response to a police shoot out is continuing the grind that is the 308
We got deadlines to meet😂
He built different fr lmao
I was a bit confused on which type of 308 you meant 😂

'Merica is where it's at.

This is THE car project on YT where I'm really excited for the end result, keep up the good work Mike!
Also stay safe man!
Well, there's always Project Binky. I think this project and Binky are on the same level, except he's way quicker than that other project.
Homebuilt by Jeff's Ferarri/Alfa is up there too....
Me: man I've got a lot to do today
Also me: Ooo a new Stanceworks video 😅
It's crazy seeing some of what they got away with at the factory there. Great update Mike, looking forward to seeing this in person!
hahaha facts

champagne color is PERFECTION... especially when you finished the pearl yellow... love the progress...
thank you for sharing

Totally agree! Paint work results are 99.9% about the prep work prior to laying the paint down.
The uniform finish is a Steel-It thing, it was designed to give you a uniform finish no matter how you spray it, of course, have good metal under it also helps.
California… where being in the middle of a shoot-out is a giggle, but filming yourself spray paint a car outside would be dangerous 😂 great content as ever!
They need more ppl carrying concealed, make the bad guys think twice like TX or FL. But, yes, it’s dangerous sharing fumes.
With that valve cover, watch out for the baffling being insufficient with the lower profile. (Any lateral loading will dump loads of oil on your trans.) You'll definitely need to tie the valve cover to a catch can of some variety rather than venting to atmosphere. Can also utilize the front-facing ports instead of the side so that there's a little more vertical distance before you start dumping oil.
Been debating on how to paint the engine bay of my AE86 and I think you just convinced me to use Steel-It. That turned out amazing!

“Send everyone! There’s a lunatic down here with a high-powered .308!”
Wow. The chasis turned out great. I can't wait to see the powder coat matched up with the steelit. Black and champagne will look great and elegant
"You can't polish a turd"
Probably the first piece of advice my father gave me that I ever remembered.
Love it!
Last here I had some shady neighbors move in next door.
We ended up being drug and gun dealers and over 30 SWAT officers raided the house!
Is amazing!

Car is coming along great though.
Wheels, snipe, celly boys took to a whole new level here at stanceworks
glad you were safe hope everyone else involved in the shootout can say the same. the engine bay looks GREAT for a rattlecan i’ve never seen it look so good
You forget to mention you can weld through that Steel-it pray paint and moisture won't affect the metal
Watching this late as I was traveling for work all week. Paint turned out great Mike!

Spraypaint for the engine bay/underside is awesome. No shame. So easy to touch up when there's a problem!
The paint looks great mate.
Amazing build
Gotta love the "from my cold dead hands" crowd because LE is just like...well, OK, just more paperwork.
From experience, you might want to order a second set of axels. Customs one are kind of a pain when one is going out track side and you need a replacement 😜
And suspension arms-uprights-etc etc etc etc. Should have built some spares while he had the jigs out. This car will be off the road for a loooong time if he bends it.
Clean workspaces create clean work. Only way to go .
Can't wait for next episode..... I keep checking tho...
Been loving this build since day one, right there with you in the excitement with the finish line in sight. That last 10%, always the most tedious.
There’s a shootout going on outside?
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
What dedication👍
here in the channel since the beginning of the ferrari project, hello from Brazil
Thanks Mike!

Great work, love steel it paint. Can’t wait to see the engine back in the bay.
Can’t wait to see this move on its own power around the track man! Much excitement! #KeepOnBuilding
Nice to see how comfortable it's become to chop up the Ferrari.
Idk if you're into drifting but the bash bar style they use is (to me) just gorgeous and useful also light weight. Plus you're like halfway there

“Cleanliness is vital” - I feel so heard
that black steel-it paint looks soooo good! cutting out that fiberglass and sheet metal was a terrific idea.
I keep checking back every hour to see if the new vids uploaded, 13 days without my Honda Ferrari fix is killing me lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great update. Good to finally see some paint on that chassis! Looking forward to see how you work some covers and the parts that support the lower rear body.
Hoonigan posted a video of a 308 vs a BRZ yesterday .. all I'm gonna say is, thank god you K swapped this thing man. LOL
i am getting so excited for the finished 308 now! Please choose a nice colour. I vote for a gun metal grey with 2 black racing stripes, or the glossiest black ever! 😉
the amazing build aside ... your intros are absolute bangers
It's coming together nicely! And thanks for turning me on to Rennch, that's been a great project to catch up on.
FYI. Magnesium is notoriously hard to finish like powder coating.
And Steel-It is sooo good. Im a huge fan of both the spray can and the spray gun finish of this stuff. Have used it all over my resto.
Can’t wait to see you driving it. 😎
I totally agree with the paint, just for the reasons you said. But….I must say, it looks even better then I thought!
Yay our secret 🫡
That shit came out sick.
I love your passion and focus on your vision, very inspirational
Mike keep up the great work we are almost there lol I say we because all of us true fans on TH-cam literally can’t wait for you to post a video about that car in particular I think it’s the most enjoyable content today. Coming from a guy that loves drifting and MMA
Thanks for the content. The satin black of the engine bay looks awesome. Hope everyone involved in the incident stayed alive and safe. Stay safe as well.
I just want to thank you for sharing an taking us along this awesome build. I can't wait for racing videos.
Its time for a update🥳
As if you weren't bad-ass enough... you throw in snipers, guns, drones, and a crazy story line that will make the evening news. Well played Mike... well played.
Bonus content rocks!!!!
Engine bay looks awesome. Great color choice and great job cleaning it up.
Glad your safe brother!
Apologies I arranged the shoot out to keep you in your garage longer for more content 🤣🤣👍
Definitely run some heat reflective foil on the bulkhead and on the fuel tank, or ideally an aluminium heat shield around the tank (hot fuels less efficient, and you don’t wanna cook yourself if you’re not running AC either)
Sheesh it's taking so long. You must be very busy. I can't wait to see it😭
Of course a new episode would drop right as I am gettin ready for work!!! Can’t wait to watch this later!
Awsome video
Progress is going great
Very nice. I knew getting the engine bay prepped and painted would suck but getting it out of the way is wonderful feeling ain’t it?
Thats crazy ! Glad everything safe and sound
Steelit black lays down so nice and dries even better!
Amazing build and amazing host!
That engine bay looks the part man, well done.
That’s was by my house , We’re Neighbors!!! Broskiii 👊😎
Finally!!!! I feel like a kid again, just waiting for the next episode of my favorite show!
Looks stunning! Good job man. Best build on TH-cam.
Great work as ever, you must be proud of that!
I’ve really enjoyed watching your welding skills increase. Your skills now far surpass Ferrari’s
Exciting day to say the least !
Engine bay does look fantastic and while I do believe in 2 pack paint in an engine bay I totally get your reasoning for using the paint that you did. BTW I was not 1/2 a mile from your place on Wednesday dropping a car off on 17th with the roads all closed off by the Police.

Regarding rattle cans, I use SEM Trim Black for all kinds of things and it's crazy good, no reservations for the right product.
The engine bay came out really well! 👍👍👍👊
Yes, the spray paint in a handheld aerosol can looks very nice if applied with finesse, but it is not as tough as catalyzed epoxy primer and catalyzed urethane enamel. God protect those snipers!
I love how you keep throwing fuel on the fire when it comes to talking trash about the 80s Ferrari craftsmanship. I fear that one day Mike goes to Italy, then never comes home.
You may want to look into the Sprayable U pol Raptor liner. Very easy to work with, gives a nice finish.
Just casually recording your work on the 308 with a shootout going on next door. just another day I guess. That engine bay came out amazing btw can't wait for the next episode

You’re crushing it, keep, going 🙏🏻
The SWAT team was sent by the Ferrari fan boys
Awesome as always
"SNIPPERS?!" "GET'ER'DONE!!!" "I SEE CALIFORNIA AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ARE BREAKING THE LAW VIOLATING THE 2ND AMMENDMENT!!!"
Happy days we got that style rocker cover in the end it's going look so clean b nice if it was unbranded (embosed)
These videos always inspire me to go out and wrench in my own shop. The grind is real. Just keep crossing stuff off that to-do list and it all comes together 🤘🏻🏎 💥
The guy down the street was probably working on a similar car project and he finally snapped!! 😂
