You do such a great job interacting with the camera that I almost feel like we're buddies. Likewise, explaining everything you're doing and why. While I use to road race (Vipers and Porsches) and I think this is a cool build, I believe I'm more interested in your presentation style and engineering ideas. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing!
@@neovenom9833 working in an aluminum railing shop I can confirm 😂 used to be able to tell who built what off the welds 🥴 some guys splatter everywhere then the formans was just dimes 😍
Those center lock hubs are =jewelry!= 🔥 Also, I just love the low key, “one guy in a garage solving problems while building a car” thing! It’s perfect for these crazy days, where so much seems to be completely random and/or upsetting! Carry on! 🔥❤️🔥
Fairly new to the channel, been watching this build since early on. I just want to say I was a BIG fan of rusty back in the day, didn't realize that was your build til just now. I still think about those wheels man, perfection. It's a shame what happened. I remember when your shop burnt down, glad to see the awesomeness never stopped.
The center locks are awesome. I also love all of your CAD work. This car is amazing and the more I see it the more I want it. You talk about some people not liking the documentary style of your videos, but I feel it makes for much better content. I really like how you explain everything, even the smallest stuff. Not everyone knows how to do, or why something has to be done the way you do it. For me, its a invaluable tool. I, myself, and building a 1988 Pontiac Trans-am widebody. I made a custom tube dash with VDO gauges, new wiring harness, and lots of other stuff. Now I get to figure out how to do the widebody. I want 6" in rear and 4" in front (each side). Again, I love your content and I am so thankful that you share it with us.
looks like a fighter plane already the buttons would look cool in the overhead. That fitting extension looks better than if a hose was directly connected.
The instrument cluster looks fantastic and I was curious how you would make it all fit with no holes in the plate. Well done. As for the switch plate I would urge you to re-consider the mounting behind the shifter. With the seat in, belted in, and helmet on you will never be able to see the buttons. A custom panel in front of the shifter within arms reach is the way to go here. Just be sure it is biased a little towards the passenger side or it could interfere with your right leg when driving.
Regarding that location of the control panel, sit in the seat before you build that mount. I own a couple of cars that have controls in that area and I'm always hitting them unintentionally. Also, if those are buttons you will be wanting to press while driving, that's not an ideal location to be diverting your attention to. Just some thoughts. Keep up the great work!!
The can pads I found a trick solution to to have easy reachablility with no accidental button hitting. You can get Outdoor electrical outlet covers that a hinged and clear, with a little carving it make a nice hinged cover you can see thru. You can also build your own, but the nice little springs in the latch of he electrical boxes keeps it shut tight. *Keypad covers can work too*
Your centre lock hubs are certainly beautiful, as are the wheels on the M1. Your welding skills look to be improving. When machining alloy on your lathe use paraffin as a coolant/ lubricant, you will get a much better finish
Trust me to be late to the party, Mike! Centre locks are a work of art. It's all coming together in a cohesive package... such an amazing attention to detail... we wouldn't expect anything less! Cheers. Leigh. PS: I wrecked the finish on the Viva roof... fear not, I have a cunning plan!!!
Great stuff as always! Bracket for the ECU looks great and the new 16 to 20 fitting adapter has nicer welds than I could ever do. Those centerlock adapters are absolutely gorgeous, I'm really glad you included a segment on them! I'm always a big fan of great design work.
Holy crap bro you are like macgyver with your solutions, it’s so impressive to watch. When you were selecting a place for the button layout I had already gone there in my head before you suggested the placement. I can only image where you will be in 6 to 12 months with your welding and other skills and as your confidence increases. Please keep going as your producing skills are amazing. Could you please colour match the bumper and do the white LED light bar, thinking less 80s and more CyberTruck / CyberPunk. Porsche single red break light across the back of the car looks dope. I like the round classic look of the Ferrari round lights too so you got options. Maybe just LED rear lights and make them a deep red to hold onto iconic lines and defining looks. I can only image how look this project will look in low light as you roll around the body with a sunset in the background. I know you trying to finish it but please pull back a touch and say this solution works but can I make it look cooler, more simple and refined and flow into those body lines better. Really only talking about the 1% here, I hope you feel me. Love from Melbourne Australian.
I’d definitely recommend making a bracket to support the -16 to -20, unless that’s what you meant by water pump bracket. That’s a lot a free weight and leverage hanging off the end and the vibrations will make it break.
Be Water - Bruce Lee... Just FLOW... Dont let the outside world disturb your peace...keep staying focused...you're doing amazing job!!! and your videos mean a lot to us...Gratitude brother 🙏🏻💚⚡♾
That new intro sequence and logo animation is sick... Brilliant update and progress video as always Cannot wait to see this running and driving, its actually the only build i follow religiously.
I really enjoy this project. It's not only the high tech and beauty of the parts in it but your passion and knowledge for it that makes it outstanding. Great job Stanceworks.
The bracket for the ecu can be installed and held into place with rivets from the inside, then it wont have to be held up by hand. When the ecu is mounted the real weight will then be on the bolts.
Awesome episode. You should drill some lightening holes in the dash bracket since you made it out of heavy steel rather than lighter aluminum. You don’t want the weight balance of the car to be disrupted by the large amount of weight. Also you might want to look at how the center of gravity will be adversely affected by having that much weight up so high. Other than that, good job and keep it up. By the way, I’m not an engineer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. So…
I have one of the blue Porsche 964 Garage Welt boards. I got it signed by Magnus Walker in front of a 72 911 I built. The board is cool, the experience was better.
You’re planning gta limited class, correct? With those wheel specs what size a052 will you run? They only make up to a 255 in 17”. This is the reason I got a cheap set of 18” konigs over my LMs.
Did you check out your clearance for the starter with the AN fittings now that you extended it? In the footage it looks like it may be an issue, I hope not! Keep up the great work.
Hi Mike. I would like to say that I love your build thus far. I just finished watching a episode of D-list about how Ferrari Sue people for different reasons. It's just a heads up, because I wouldn't want to see this happen to you. Keep up the great work. Peace.
Hay man you are a great mechanic. I also love those beautiful beasts and want to learn from you though I don't have any Degree. I am from India. A lots of love. Thank you.
👏🏼 great progress, have you considered flocking or wrapping the dash for that f40 LM feel? Not that you need it done as the OEM dash appears to be in excellent shape but curious if its something on the list
11:20: The top looks like it was a little on the cold side (could be the camera angle), but that bottom one looks pretty darn good. Time under the hood, as they say.
The Haltech digital dash looks too straight in my opinion. I think you still have room to give it a bit of an angle. Driver will have a better view of the panel.
Mike. Check out Retropower Uncut on TH-cam and the episodes on the Chevettte (UK version) rally car. They built a very nice bracket to mount switch panel on tunnel pretty much identical to your needs. CNC machined skeletal design. Looks killer
Couple of questions: 1.Can the holes for the ECU possibly make the firewall less fireproof? Or do these old cars not have safety measures against engine fires? I think it's a must have when you go racing right? Might even be in the rules...? 2. Are you going to fit a roll cage? You might have already told that but I haven't been able to watch every minute of every video 3. Are you going to keep the car yellow or paint it? If so have you decided on a colour, or is that something you'll think about at a later stage of the build? 4. Can your new fittings (from 20 to 16) maybe cause a change to the way the fluids flow through the pipes? Maybe cause too much pressure where the pipe goes narrower? 5. Are you going to cover up the insides of the wheel wells so you don't see where the body kit meets the original body? Or maybe cut away the original body? Hope to hear from you 😇
For the control panel, could you use some risers from the shift lever mounting bolts, and mount the control panel to that? Easier to get at and avoids getting in the way of the shift cable Like the ECU mount, but I was expecting you to mount the threads the brace, with the nuts on the inside after the threads pass through the ECU
What is it called where you put two pieces into the metal for threaded at 2:44? Also, what is the name of those screws with spring on it at 3:29? Where did you get all those little screws & etc? Did you go to the hardware store with the device & look for something to fit in it? Or take a while guess & order online in screw kit?
Damn homie...car is coming along great. Awesome out of the box thinking for the design. Also, now I've officially seen a K-swap in everything. Are you really building this by yourself for the most part? Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! And for the support.
Well said exactly how I feel Mike is excellent at explaining his fantastic engineering. Feels like ya mates
He LOVES LOVES LOVE'S to explain everything.
"Most people can weld aluminum much better" -most people can't weld, Mike.
I have seen welds from "professionals" that are worse than this.
From someone who tried many times, I couldn't agree more. 🤣
@@neovenom9833 working in an aluminum railing shop I can confirm 😂 used to be able to tell who built what off the welds 🥴 some guys splatter everywhere then the formans was just dimes 😍
Humility + skill + clear communication = Why you're my new favorite builder on TH-cam.
Build: On point

Another person mentioned the same and you’re totally right. I need to mount it where I can see it with a head restraint on.
Regarding that location of the control panel, sit in the seat before you build that mount. I own a couple of cars that have controls in that area and I'm always hitting them unintentionally. Also, if those are buttons you will be wanting to press while driving, that's not an ideal location to be diverting your attention to. Just some thoughts. Keep up the great work!!
Knocked it out of the park with the hubs!! Thank you Mike + Nick + Brett!

Loving your channel bro,no nonsense car stuff.ya don't need garage comedians just car stuff!!.love the car stuff.
I think you should implement your logo into the mounting bracket for the ecu, it would look even more awesome.
Welds look amazing, I am loving this build so much. BMW Art car design would work perfectly.
I already ready knew round about what you were about to do about just the bolts showing on the firewall. An that's why I love this.
Ith's the 28/10/2021 and it took me 3 days to watch this series. Bloody brilliant! Rock n roll mate this is amazing

those aluminum welds are looking much crisper! serious improvement in just a couple weeks there man that’s awesome

About the best project build on TH-cam
Dude I just wanted to let you know that you do amazing work. Very clean and well thought out for the most part lol.
Damn that dash looks good, great job.
What I love about Mike is he doesn’t rush anything. If he has to wait for wheels or other parts, he waits because he wants it done the right way.
Nice deck dude. 👍
lovely intro music...
much love from Cape Town,
South Africa
The level of technical detail is simply brilliant. Body kit looks fantastic. Looking forward to see it run!
Beautiful work as always
That new intro sequence and logo animation is sick...
Brilliant update and progress video as always
Cannot wait to see this running and driving, its actually the only build i follow religiously.
If I could weld half as good as you I would be happy with my results!! Another awesome video
I really enjoy this project. It's not only the high tech and beauty of the parts in it but your passion and knowledge for it that makes it outstanding. Great job Stanceworks.
Excellent progress!
The bracket for the ecu can be installed and held into place with rivets from the inside, then it wont have to be held up by hand. When the ecu is mounted the real weight will then be on the bolts.
Damnnnnn...... fucking LOVING the new editing!!!!!!
Mike! Mike! Mike!!!
Excellent job, I watched all episodes
the intro is awesome, love it
Love it man, stoked to see it coming together!
I'm glad I could help with that water pump fitting.
Love this build. Great content

Look great cant wait to see the finished car. Check out the vauxhall chevette Centre console on retropower uncut
Episode 60 by the way 👍👍👍
I have one of the blue Porsche 964 Garage Welt boards. I got it signed by Magnus Walker in front of a 72 911 I built. The board is cool, the experience was better.
Build is looking good, as are those welds. Really enjoying each new video
I've got that exact same rachet, it's by far my favorite! Super useful
Outstanding build
Gotta say, I like how you section up the videos. Great content dude
GW's S14 Photo-deck is my photo :) Extra spice of special for ya.
Put the button board on the roof like a p1 or speedtail!
Thank you
Really enjoy your attention to even the smallest detail. Almost medical grade work. You do incredible fab and engineering. 👍
Finally. It's coming together
You’re planning gta limited class, correct? With those wheel specs what size a052 will you run? They only make up to a 255 in 17”. This is the reason I got a cheap set of 18” konigs over my LMs.
Great job brother I checkout you video they always genuine I like that. Well put together
What a great episode (again)!👌
Awesome Build can’t wait for the next episode. Those wheel hubs are jewelry ✌🏽
Firewall. For the ecu mount. Weld bolts to the plate going in the car. Studs mounts. Then grind the heads so no one will know
Did you check out your clearance for the starter with the AN fittings now that you extended it? In the footage it looks like it may be an issue, I hope not! Keep up the great work.
It’s considerably above the starter, it should be a-okay
This was going through my mind also
I thought that too
Just subscribed, this thing is turning out awesome!
Cool looking build love how it's coming along 👌😎
Hi Mike. I would like to say that I love your build thus far.
I just finished watching a episode of D-list about how Ferrari Sue people for different reasons.
It's just a heads up, because I wouldn't want to see this happen to you.
Keep up the great work.
Peace.
Also didn't know Rusty was your build. What a car. Still, onwards with your thoughtful K-Swap Ferrari 308. It's fun to watch.
Amazing work
So cool! Godspeed on the hard work, and thank you for sharing this amazing build!
Hay man you are a great mechanic. I also love those beautiful beasts and want to learn from you though I don't have any Degree. I am from India. A lots of love. Thank you.
I love Your dedication to this project. It's quite remarkable. I'm doing a small project with my Chevy Spark but Yours is on another level ^^
Can you not fab up a mount for the Haltech keypad above rear view mirror? or will the wing harness be too much to run up there?
👏🏼 great progress, have you considered flocking or wrapping the dash for that f40 LM feel? Not that you need it done as the OEM dash appears to be in excellent shape but curious if its something on the list
Flocking is the plan!
11:20: The top looks like it was a little on the cold side (could be the camera angle), but that bottom one looks pretty darn good. Time under the hood, as they say.
The Haltech digital dash looks too straight in my opinion. I think you still have room to give it a bit of an angle. Driver will have a better view of the panel.
For your button controls, consider you will likely be wearing a head and neck restraint. You might not be able to turn to see it on the tunnel.
Smart! I’ll need a new plan.
I think you should add one more strap to your dash bracket for triangulation to the top screws to help with vibration on the track.
Dude, LOVE SendCutSend! Expect the best from them!
Mike. Check out Retropower Uncut on TH-cam and the episodes on the Chevettte (UK version) rally car. They built a very nice bracket to mount switch panel on tunnel pretty much identical to your needs. CNC machined skeletal design. Looks killer
Great work on the dash mount. Aren't the most simple methods the most elegant anyway?

Hope to hear from you 😇
Wont the holes in the firewall have bolts in them
Great content as always. Maybe time for a quick ‘biog’ episode - like explain how you got the Warhol Art Car shoot?
For the control panel, could you use some risers from the shift lever mounting bolts, and mount the control panel to that? Easier to get at and avoids getting in the way of the shift cable
Like the ECU mount, but I was expecting you to mount the threads the brace, with the nuts on the inside after the threads pass through the ECU
8:08 is so stupid, but that's exactly what makes the difference between a normal and the best builds. Keep going, love the content! 👍🏻
Those centre locks 😍😍😍😍😍
What is it called where you put two pieces into the metal for threaded at 2:44?
Also, what is the name of those screws with spring on it at 3:29?
Where did you get all those little screws & etc? Did you go to the hardware store with the device & look for something to fit in it? Or take a while guess & order online in screw kit?
Great content brother
Love this build. It’s fire 🔥
Wasn't expecting a video this early. 🔥
Retropower mounted their control unit in a similar place on the project Vader Chevette . It will look awesome Im sure
Nice Bracketry. Project Binky would approve.
Send cut send - #superfastmatt uses them. Seemingly with great results ...
Cant wait to see this go down the road. Head turner.
I always watch your video with my 4yr old and he's excited to see you use the mickey pointer hands every time :)
Hey Mike!,
Greetings from the Netherlands, loving the series!
Damn homie...car is coming along great. Awesome out of the box thinking for the design. Also, now I've officially seen a K-swap in everything. Are you really building this by yourself for the most part? Keep up the great work!
Masking tape works just as well as a cad template if you're smart about it
installing that dash display would be a great upgrade for any 308 - 328 :-)
