You are an inspiration to craftsmen everywhere. I’m working on an 87 Jetta coupe and watch your series to learn and be amazed.
Thanks! I used to have an A2 Jetta - it was a 4 door and I wanted a coupe. Great car - I miss that car.
absolutely amazing work. The absolute definition of craftsmanship.
Thanks 😊
My goodness. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
It looks absolutely great. It is something to be proud of. Big 👍
Thanks...working on the other side today. The encouragement really helps!
Beautiful job as usual Craig. God help anyone that blows a stop sign and smokes that front end. I would fly out from Vancouver in your defense of manslaughter charges having spent bukoo time on parts of my 69 Datsun roadster build.
That is, in all truth, my worst nightmare.
Great work mate. Detail work like that is very time consuming but the results speak for themselves.
Thanks...almost done the second panel.
You continue to amaze my friend! Top notch fabbin’
Thanks bud.
I was devastated when you showed it didn't fit! So glad cutting and welding and grinding and sanding and polishing fixed it! Excellent result.
The next one won't fit either...just part of learning. It did take me three weeks to cut it!
Thank you so much for putting these videos out there. I found your channel because I was curious about carbon fiber fabrication. As much as you demonstrate techniques, the real lessons from your channel are about attitude, problem solving and patience. I always enjoy hanging out in your garage, looking over your shoulder.
I'm very happy to have you along for the ride! Cheers.
I'm happy to see this fine gentleman's "Canadian credentials" are in order: a Tim Hortons cup on the workbench. 👍
The secret to surviving a Canadian winter.
@@ThrottleStopGarage I always thought the secret was snow tires. 🙂
Hello Sir
Your Volvo it's coming a long very nicely! 👍👌🤙
Thanks 😊
You truly have the patience of a saint to tackle all the projects that you do but especially this one! Wow!
Thanks. This has been the craziest car build I've ever done. Never too old to learn!
love your carbon videos but metal stuff is also fine content :)
Thanks - all part of the learning adventure.
Nice work, I know the feeling of having to cut something after putting a ton of work into it.
That was the easiest hard thing to do...the chance of scrapping the piece was making me very nervous.
Better that it was slightly too big than too small, I guess. Still, that was an insane amount of work, the patience you must have is impressive. Excellent work!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'd change the hammer forms if I was making more...but I'm hoping I never have to!
Another great video.
Cheers 🍻
Been quiet on this channel. I hope all is well with you.
Good 👍
Your patience is unreal
I find this work soothing...it's very weird.
I find chicken strips and cream gravy soothing. Aaand your videos. Which is also weird.
Congrats on staying motivated to finish this. DIY sure is a lot more work than stamping it in a machine like they did originally!
I can even imagine how fast these were made originally compared to these...seconds versus months.
Ohh..shiny shiny. I'm impressed, your hard work is paying off . Trim looks bloody good.
Cheers. Still a pile of little jobs to go.
Magnificent....I can only imagine what those cupboard fronts are going to look like.
If I get a minute...I'll paint them in your honour.
Looks good.
THanks
Beautiful 💪
Thank you! Cheers!
next level good.
Thanks.
Awesome work! That looks amazing!!
Thanks 😊
Always a pleasure to see your work!
Thanks Alan!
Outstanding results 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Your continued persistence continues to inspire me on my own project. Love seeing the updates. Surprised you haven't announced a side business making new trim pieces for the other Amazon owners! ;)
Thanks. I'm glad the videos are providing some encouragement.
I bet it was highly problematic in your head to cut that grill piece. All that forming work. Great result. Your patience is amazing!
Yes...I suspected as soon as I trimmed the excess material from the blank. Then as I folded the flange, it would get closer, but I knew it probably wouldn't work. Happy it turned out so well or I'd agonizing over the flaw.

Thanks!
Complete car resto, 5000hrs. Grill fab, 4000hrs. Perfection. Then I laughed at myself as I asked same, "Wonder what he'd charge for my front and back window mouldings on my 1956 Austin Van? Hmmm."
Absolutely...this a a pretty insane amount of work. For any car.
You might have an easier time getting the left one welded if you cut it in the middle of the long side. That makes both sides equally supple, so the short one doesn't fight you as much. It will also make it easier to get the angles to look good.
That's a great point. I'll look at it if the next one goes the same way.
Brilliant piece of work. Can you explain why the rivet gun (3x or 4x) and not the air hammer. Would love to see some riveting some soon too. 👍
The rivet gun hits less hard and more consistently than an air hammer. I do have a few rivets to install for this car.
Very nice. I wonder if rolling the edges over a wire like was done on old fenders would have worked for your edges or if it would have made any difference at all on the ease of construction. Great work!
I considered it and had the wire at the ready. Luckily it was fine without and on the next panel, I'll leave the flange longer to make this easier.
Nice work. Have you done any fab work before starting on this car? Would heat have helped in forming?
I was raised in a machine shop - not what I do for a living these days, but I do have fabrication experience.
I bought a tig welder from eastwood and i started welding but i find soething is happening to the longevity of my gas .should last ten hours odf welding and i get two.could it be it's leaking somewhere inside the machine ? Iv'e checked all my conections and im using proper post flow and all that with just enough presure to do the job.Maybe you might have some Idea's. Lou
Great job on the grill ring.Stainless it tough stuff to shape.
Thanks Lou. My first guess is the solenoid valve in the machine. Test it to make sure it's not leaking. Make sure you're turning the tank off when not in use. I shut mine off as soon as I'm done welding and open it just before I start.
Beautiful work, but why not use copper or brass like in the old days, it should be easier to "shape"
For sure it's easier to shape, but finding somewhere to plate these things in Canada is hard.
Hello!! i miss this chanel !! its time for a new video!! please!
Thanks Fredrik. Sorry for the delay. I should have something this week/weekend.
Beautifull work really , congrats !!
Thanks a lot!
When is the next video coming. Missing out on progress.
It's going to be a few weeks yet Michael. I'm still working on the centre ribs and they're taking SOOOOO much time. I'm also taking a break next week. So let's say - Christmas!
Hiiii, any way sto reach out to you?
DM on Instagram works.
Do you happen to have an adult male son who’s going to pick this up? 😁
Honestly, I don’t really care if this project is finished. The journey is the point of it. I plan to bequeath my 100% accurate Speed Racer Mach 5 (that I haven’t started) to my son who doesn’t know what a screwdriver is.
No clue who's going to get the car. Not planning on dying anytime soon. The car will get done...that much I know.
Just messin. Love your content. Lots of folks want to see the end. I do too, but more interested in the middle.
@@forthwithtx5852 hopefully I can pick up the pace this winter.
Am i first?
Most likely.
Definitely some beautiful work!! Looks like you could be working w/Chip Foose on projects 👍
Wow, that's quite a compliment. Thanks for watching.
Polishing. Polishing. Polishing…
No finger prints left.
@@ThrottleStopGarage It’s just a reference to a luthier here on youtube (Canadian as well!), who always says this when polishing guitar frets nowadays, instead of making his viewers sit through it again and again. xD
His handle is twoodfrd, thus the tag.
