It’s nice to have people to help BUT you use your brain more by figuring out how to do it on your own. Then you also become dependent on no one meaning no one can ever delay you or slow you down. Something I learned quickly with building the comet. But again it’s always nice to know there are people willing to help if need be.
Hey, I am building a 48 special deluxe at the moment. Your video series has inspired me to get moving and put in work. Enjoying watching you build this car. Cheers.
TH-cam played part of your paid one for free before. That Nissan looked like a good buy. I went to put it on the tv and they caught the mistake. We have body integrity and safety needed here. Body integrity is for write offs. It a how it will be fix and parts changed.m and a 3D scan. With in 1mm of factory specs. Costs between $700-$2000 depending on shop. Safety is everything must pass spec not though rust and tire brakes and everything else other then engine trans. Cost between $150-300. So to fix a write off will cost between 800-2500 depending on which shop. Unless you own your own shop that can do it. Took out a large chunk of the rebuilders. Dollar store sells bins that have dividers I find those and the little pull out try one good for organizing bolts and washers. Also for the brackets you could take a tube cut it in half and weld to plates into it. Would give it a different look and should be close to a square in strength.
Most manufactures want a downward rake 3 to 5 degrees for oil drainback make sure your engine has the correctt rake diff or not incline is important.,or Oil starvation problems will rear their head.!
Yes I’m going off 6,000 for everything but think it’ll come in under that alittle. I just ordered airbags that if 4 are used (ordered 2 to test fit) then we are good up to 9,600lbs
I could never have a TH-cam channel, 55 minutes of explaining for 8 minutes of work is brutal especially when most of it is self explanatory. This is going to be a cool build if you’re ever able to finish it. Best of luck!
It 100% will be finished. You need to remember that what’s “common sense” to you is not to others. A lot of people have no one to lead them or teach them and they turn to TH-cam for guidance. So no it wouldn’t be best to have a channel that just slings together 8mins of work and never stops to take the time to try and help someone out that isn’t as fortunate to have someone in their life for guidance. So many think that just bc they know and understand that others do too when that’s just not true. There’s literally TH-cam videos on how to change your tire (spare wheel) on your car bc there’s people out there that don’t know.
lol man why? I understand that a lot of people can’t see what I see just off me describing it. It’s frustrating at times for me bc I know that this will be a big deal when done bc I can already see it. I’m not cocky at all but i strongly believe in my visions as I’ve been customizing vehicles since 2010 and never really not turned out something clean and unique. Glad you’re on board though buddy. In the end this one’s gonna have a lot of people talking.
You never stop amazing me how much you get done by yourself, knowing it would be nice to have a helping hand.

The cool factor is there. If leg room is an issue advertise it as cozy. I can’t wait to see the 1st test drive video
Leg room actually ended up perfect. Doesn’t feel cramped at all. Cant wait for yall to see everything
Cool 😎 !

Drive line angle looks like it might be a lot
Working out good so far

That’s awesome to hear! So happy to have you on board as part of the family!
I think you need to Angle the trans and motor down in the back a few degrees. Looking
Good brother Courtney
Thanks buddy
I would Bite the bullet on lowering ur engine an inch. That will allow u to shift the motor over. Great video
Thanks buddy

Yea I messed up on the setting lol. We have a killer plan to finish out these brackets and tie them into the chassis soon

I really like those webbed gussets!
I see this car weighing about 6000 lbs. What do you think?

I had trouble getting into the early stages of this build, but, I'm loving it now.
Thanks for sharing.

If we lower it we will have to cut the frame rail. It’s worked out perfect so far
