That looks like real progress today - actual solid panels. Hard work but excellent to watch.
It's incredibly time consuming but equally satisfying
Damn…. You’ve got some big sleds there Bro. Not to mention your taste for pointy shoes. Good thing to think about where they’re going to go. I’m teasing, but this the most thought out well done home build I’ve ever seen. Always a pleasure to see you and Pops.🖖🏼👽
Thank you very much
The car is really coming together nicely. These videos are near the top of my favourites list.. Must give the camera work a mention.
Thank you so much
Absolutely, very satisfying video, some things take such a long time to messure out, make, fit, weld, Dad is a wonderful person as you know, helping son. First class relationship
I get the feeling that this car will be faster than expected and under brakes a dream . It’s captured my Imagination . Got luck getting through inspections 👍❤️🇦🇺
The power to weight ratio is properly in supercar territory it'll definitely be the fastest thing I've ever driven
Have you a roller or English wheel of sorts? You can stop that drum or tin canning in you bead roller parts by pre stretching on the wheel . Try a small roll with a corner with scrap and you will be sold . 👍❤️🇦🇺also thanks for waking my own projects up , as I need to get back on the tools . 😄
All those flat panels make terrific vibration amplifiers. Making your bead rolls different lengths and shapes helps break up resonances and make your car smoother and quieter. If you made all the bead rolls symmetric and identical it would be extremely unpleasant at certain speeds and rpms.
Moving the heater to one side will help with that as well, because instead of having panels that resonate at the same frequencies on both sides of the car, the vibration characteristics of the two sides will be completely different and won't reinforce each other.
It also helps that we've used different thicknesses throughout the car and that the panels are small but you are correct with such a stiff chassis resonant frequency can be a real concern
Considering the temperatures this summer and the predictions that climate changes will likely lead to hotter envires, you might want to figure out an alternative way to run 'chilled' water through that 'heater' core as well.
I've lived in some extremely hot places and when it comes to cabin cooling it's as much about getting the hot air out the cabin as it is drawing cool car in
@@OliverPickard
In some regions there seems to be a lack of cool air to draw in. It was just a thought.
Starting to look like a car, nice work fellas!
It feels awesome to see it as more than a tiny climbing frame haha
The car is looking great! Some clear progress in this video. But I believe the oil canning effect you’re seeing after bead rolling the panels can be improved upon. The floppyness will mostly disappear once everything is welded and fastened together. But. Have you heard of pre stretching the panels before bead rolling? I’ve seen others lay out where their bead rolling will be. And they pre-stretch the material, causing it to look like a potato chip. And when they roll their beads in. They take up that stretched material and the panel is much flatter when done. Making the final fitting easier. And less stress is left in the panel once installed. Lazze metal shaping on RUclips has a very good video demonstrating this. He does use an english wheel to do the pre-stretching operation. But I was thinking, with the right dies in the bead roller. You may be able to get a similar effect.
I got some amazing advice right after we'd made these haha
@@OliverPickard well of course you did. Isn’t that always the way it goes? Lol. To be honest. I’m trying to get someone else to try the bead roller stretching idea for me. As I don’t want to buy an english wheel. And I’m not at the point on my project to make panels.
I do like that beed roller it does stiffen panels up nicely. My concern is those thin panels are going to warp when you weld them all together.
Nahh that's the easy bit
"So nice in Niche..." (apologies to The Stranglers). I'm size 12 too, so I can sympathize regarding footwells and pedals. But I always changed into classic trainers! 😁👍
Catching my foot on steering shafts seems to be a common thing unfortunately but won't be in the Mozzie
Make the sparrow your mascot....or rename the car Sparrow GTX...letters at the end make it go faster.
Pickard Mosquito GTM is enough letters for anyone haha
Great as always.
So right about the "All the Gear No Idea", which also seems to be the way of doing things on 97% of YT builds.
People like watching people throw money at their problems which is fine. I just feel sorry for the people learning that this must be the only way to do it
Another excellent video.
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
The metal needs to be pre-stretched before bead rolling. Most people use an English wheel, which you do not have. Interesting watch your thought processes for this build. It is worth showing what actually goes into a build. The devil is always in the detail. Fit and finish need to be spot on, otherwise it will look crap.
A few people gave me tips on pre-stretching last week but we'd already made the panels so it's definitely something to try in the future
You can pre stretch with a bead roller too, mark out your panel on both sides. Then slightly bead roll the back of the panel. Turn it over and then bead roll the side you want too.
It works, I used to do it that way before I got my English wheel
With the ‘X’ cross in the panel, use a soft lower wheel (like scoreboard wheel) that way you get the bead where it crosses without deforming
Another great video Oliver, cheers to you and your dad on the marvelous work of art you are sharing with us all. Can't wait for the next installment in the series.
thank you so much!
Watching you guys make little mistakes makes me feel better about my slightly bigger mistakes. Building a car from scratch in your garage is hard. Good work, it's going to be an amazing car in the end.
Everyone makes mistakes it's learning how to fix them that's the fun bit
Enjoying your build here in OZ
Cars are a mental illness not a hobby
I have the Sam e affliction 😀👍
For a sparrow's podcast, there's a surprising amount of car DIY going on 😆Also that new camera is really something, you can practically count hairs.
That's why I've started shaving before videos haha
Love the video
Loving the series, I’m in the process of building a spitfire.
One negative if I may, is the audio, please buy another Mike for your dad and attach them to your collars. Other than that nicely done, and so nice you and your dad are enjoying the project together.
I wish my dad was here with me in Belgium helping on my build, he is back in the uk. I know not far but it’s not like living next door lol
Thanks, regards Shaun
It's next on our list after last week's unplanned camera replacement
Would it be better to make right foot well panel flat without that bend? You would loose little space in foot well but the serviceability of heater matrix would greatly improve. It would help to see the foot well space from the point of view of a passenger to actually determine that. Regardless of that you guys are making excellent job building your dream car.
There will be a little scoop in the bend so changing the heater matrix is about a 5min job but the bend gives us more glove box room
@@OliverPickard That explains everything. Tank You for a reply. I was not thinking about glove box space.
@@hubertsumo You're welcome 👍🏻. Storage is at a bit of a premium and so important for a car you want to drive a long way.
Great video as always... Im just about to remake my dash panel .. because like you i found a better way of doing it 👍
Thanks. some times you don't see it until you see it all together
Great music choice! I may have missed this, but do you have a goal weight in mind for the final build?
A maximum of 620kg/1366lb
@@OliverPickard wow!!
I thought you would tackle the steering column and pedals before setting the upper and lower feet panels... What comes next? floor panels?
I can't fit the steering column before we get the seat bolted in which requires the floor to be complete and there are quite a few different panels to the footwell
Would be nice to have A/C, especially in Morocco.
I'm not a big fan of AC and having grown up in Andalusia heat doesn't phase me but what I've learnt is that it's as important to get hot air out the cabin as it is cool air in the cabin
When describing the hole sizes, did you actually mean radius or diameter ? Also, now that you have moved the heater box, can you still get the third point fixing direct from the tunnel or will you need a bracket ?
when ever I talk about hole sizes on video its always diameter. im not sure what you mean by third point fixing but it does complicate the mounting from the knee bar to the front bulkhead, it just needs to be bigger
@@OliverPickard Thanks Oliver. I only asked about the hole sizes because you said radius in the video and the hole saws on the bench looked diameter sized. Perhaps I used the wrong term when I was talking a out the third fixing for the heater box, but in the earlier video when you had the heater placed centrally you showed how you could simply add a bolt and nut to stop the heater box from vibrating. As usual, I'm sure that all will become clear in due course. Best wishes.
Yes it'll mount in the same way
Nothing wrong with a feet up driving position, check out how high f1 drivers feet are.
I'm assuming he's ok with it but gosh that doesn't look like a lot of room for a helmet next to that bar.
It's misleading on camera because the wide lens isn't very good at depth but it's well within regulation
