Sad not to have an episode of you driving, i feel like most youtubers forget that the people really care about what the experience of driving the car is actually like... would have been a near 0 cost video and an opportunity to earn some money with sponsors etc
I've been following you since your m60 powered model A. The things you do and create continue to amaze me. Keep it up Mike, you're awesome! 80k is a bargain for a build from that calibre. I wouldn't be surprised that you could sell it for 300k+ it you wanted to. This feels way more like a friend offering their car to me, instead of an artist selling their art.
These are the channels I love. Taking classic hot rods and making them even more unique than they already are. I cant imagine how many hours went into this build let alone the hours spent thinking how to make it even crazier. Gives me inspriation for my build!
@@stanceworksBut those wrenches are soooo nice. I have the two bigger ones and I'm in love. Been pondering the little guy and I think you've convinced me haha
You most definitely can drive a Jerico transmission in traffic like nothing once you get used to it. I did it for years all over SoCal in a 69 Nova with 700HP. The trick is rev matching and you have to be quick when you shift. If you're slow it will grind like hell. The faster you flick the shifter into the next gear the smoother the trans will shift.
I am only 2min into the video, and I am all "HECK YES". THATS how you do a modern fuel system. Pump nice and cool and quiet in the tank, with a bucket and siphon to keep the bucket full. This is how all modern cars work.
Mike, you've got to start using a vice more often when you're cutting with a grinder. When/If your fingers (or hand) are removed as you slip or the blade smashes, your builds are suddenly going to be a whole lot harder.... I love what you do mate and I want to see you doing it for a long time.... All the best pal 😉👍🏻
HEY I RECOGNIZE THOSE WHEELS. Followed by me furiously scanning the video timeline to see if this dude talks about them and sure enough there's the Mazda. Incredible.
I was glad to see them get some love. They clearly aren't LMP wheels, but I have Motegis (or should say had on previous car, and will again soon) on mine. Black and red 113s on the old car and will be bronze Traklites on the new.
@@krabbenschubser Mike's are. I meant the Motegi's I have are not. I could have worded that better. I was half-asleep and excited that he was talking about them because I love their wheels.
The A is rad, and will definitely turn heads for whoever buys it. I just hope whoever does gives it the respect it deserves and doesn't wrap it around a tree trying to show off.
I do A lot of work on small motorcycles, 2 stroke engines from 50-100cc. Those baby torque wrenches that measure to small inch pound numbers are an absolute must have in that world. Without them you're warping heads, stripping case bolts or being too cautious and have parts vibrate loose.
@@stanceworks I wasn't suggesting that at all. Just saying that they have a place, and someday you will have that need to be precise on something more delicate.
Crazy to let it go. It's a big part of your automotive journey and you'll spend your whole life trying to learn how to drive it while never hitting the limit. I'd suck it up and keep it man.
Man, I wish I could afford them all. I love that car the wheels the stance. Ever since I joined the military in 1980 I loved classics. I just raise it up maybe a few inches so I could drive it a lot love that car if I hit the lotto today or even this month, I’m calling you immediately and will come get my dream car.
I have one of those little torque wrenches too, and it is the perfect size for doing exhaust manifolds on modern v8 trucks. Never regretted buying it once (did get it on sale).
damn, its so beautiful , I would put it in my living room if I had the space and the money. On the other side, it should be driven and not collect dust. Really amazing build.
This is a unique one of a kind build that deserves respect. I'm sad that you have to sell it but that's life, I get it. Mad props to you! I hope you get a great return on your investment but I also know it's a lot more that that... 👊❤
I’m a long time follower from the UK Mike, we don’t have cars like this on the roads here, it’s been incredibly watching this and other builds.. But this is quite emotional pal, this was a huge build for you, letting it go cannot be easy, at least it will give you more time to concentrate on multiple variations of control arms! 😂
I’m sad to see the Model A go but selling the projects you’ve built is the only way to build the next one and we’re ready for the next one to get started!!
A low price for a custom fabrication of that caliber. IMO Mike is the Foose the current generation of builders. I don't imagine it will be long before he's building his vision on someone else's dime and for big profit. This is a quintessential LA fast money flex car and could command more money, because what you pay is part of the flex.
The Mazda DPI program was amazing. They set track records at Daytona with only a 4cylinder power plant taking on all the V8s. Loved it. Sad to see the truck go as it's pure insanity wrapped in tin but I know all to well about selling things to fund your next project.
There's probably over 60k in parts currently in the car, not even including all the revisions and the fact that you can't even buy many of them at any price. The right person shouldn't remotely hesitate at 80k.
Building a tube frame pickup now, 80K is extremely well priced given the cost of some of the individual parts. I remember bugging Mike to sell me those wheels, they’re too good. Should sell fast - I don’t think I can justify this as a daily otherwise I’d be a buyer.
Starts video with: You can own it for $80k. 11 min into the video this car try's to kill you when you drive it. Great sales pitch Mike!!...lmao (That's not a lot of money for a car of this caliber, just having fun with the content.)
Hey Mike, I've noticed the annotations with the tick boxes are scaled over 100% and look fuzzy. If it's After Effects simply turn on the coninuous rasterization for that layer, if it's not then maybe just scale them down to 100%, they'd be smaller but at least they'd look crisp. Love the videos, just wanted to point that out as I've noticed it on a few videos in a row now.
Seems like a really high-end overkill race pump. Have you heard of the OE GM ZL1 all in one fuel pump? Get one on Rock Auto for less than $250. Way more mileage and R&D than aftermarket stuff.
I bought a torque wrench which goes down to 1 Newton Meter. Dearly needed when you wrench on carbon fibre road bikes. You can easily ruin a four figure frame by over torquing one single bolt. Some are repairable, some don't. Gladly my favorite bike (BMC) has all the torque figures written next to the bolt. It is really funny how you search any advantage when you can't add power to the engine (yourself). You focus on lowering any resistance slowing you down. Wheels (rim shape/weight/tires) are a huge factor, you can up your performance quite a bit. Still, your the engine and gladly that improves while driving. And that is what I love about you, your work and the videos. You use your brain and analyze the job at hand and makes it happen. You have enough knowledge to come up with a good plan, sometimes you need to revise it but you show it all. Building a car around wheels is my kind of lunatic.
Insane that your only asking $80k for this. The amount of hours, blood sweat and tears that have gone into it, plus that fact that basically everything on the car aside from the OG 1930s shell is new... seems like an insane steal. I can't think of ANYTHING in this price range that would turn as many heads and be as unique.
Mike, I’ve been following for years ever since Rusty. Love your work man, what ever happened to Jason Sellers continental drop top? Still my dream classic car!
You should do $5-$20 raffle. That way all your viewers have a chance to win. You could also end up making more than your asking price if you leave the raffle up long enough. Just a thought. Gorgeous car.
@StanceWorks Your 3x relais wiring is a work of art. Since I am rocking a similar kind of setup (but in reeeaally ugly), would you please be so kind and share how you made the nice one-wire-to-three-wire split at 6:18 (red one to the three white ones in the bottom left) This would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
You said you couldn't shift the dog box softly but couldn't you double clutch it? I have a faceplated t56 in my 02 Camaro and it will shift pretty smoothly if you are double clutching
LOl the things I would do with that. Rase it a few inches, Build a proper exhaust, Fabricate a nice flatbed maybe wood with chrome accents. Fenders. hood. Paint. All it's fans would hate me for ever =P One hell of a grocery getter though 😁😁
not gonna lie. that's a top notch build for sure!, and worth every penny... the only drawback would be the chassis welds look like a 12 year old booger welded it. i doubt it would pass any sanctioned teck inspection for certifications.
I wish i could rego it for japan roads! Otherwise i would buy it now. Thats a killer truck and unique 🤩👍 people will jump on it to own a piece of history! Fk i want it so bad.
Honestly im a little sad that you dont hear the fuel pumps screaming at you anymore. The new setup is definitely an upgrade, but the screaming fuel pumps just added something special
Awesomeness!!!! Cool car. Appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it. Not my cup of tea. Let's get you more $$$$ to work on some of the cooler projects that you're pushing that are my cup of tea.
My man, so much respect for throwing the number out there at the beginning.
This is my go-to channel for all my control arm and fuel system needs! 😅
This is also my go to for when I want to see how to make control arms on the 5th attempt
I expected it to be 100k+ for all the work into that thing, someone buy this!
Not with those janky ass welds, no way
@@maoristereo I thought the same thing.
@@maoristereo pretty funny cause a week of actual practice and bringing in a teacher for a day or two would help dramatically lmao
80,000 for a unique piece is a hell of a deal!

Snap on torque wrench... Any top end bicycle shop will buy that off you! Used in carbon fibre race bikes...
