Dragging? Go watch some old Boosted Boys if you want slapped together K-builds with engine starts and test runs before things are even tightened. This build is proper and it will take time. The engine will start at one point, don’t you worry.
I get some people are used to RUclips instant builds but that’s not really how real life works. I’m ONE dude doing the entire build by myself. I’m also recording the entire show by myself. Editing the entire show by myself. I’m going as quick as I can but I’m also changing *everything* about the car. It’s not just an engine swap, it’s a complete redesign of the suspension, completely custom one off wheels, re-wiring the entire car front to back, re-plumbing every fluid system on the car and re-engineering every facet of it. Completely redoing the interior… and every single part I’ve chosen to use isn’t meant in any way to be bolted onto a Ferrari. Sorry it’s going slow but this shit takes time.
You keep apologizing at the end of every episode for 'not doing anything interesting' or 'not having done any fabrication work" but every episode is awesome. Love how easily you solved the dash cluster. I'd have spent 2 weeks working on that and ending up with something half as good looking. Love the build as always Mike!
dude's a bit of a perfectionist. might even call him an overachiever lol. i mean this in a good way. so even tho most of us are happy to see anything at any pace he's gonna still see the people/kids that just wanna hear it go vroom and watch it go zoom. and of course he's going to address them. its not just cars, its creating in general, he's fully dedicated. i personally don't want this build to ever end lol. then again i haven't done anything but watch so yeah.
I just had an idea, I don't know what folks would think... but imagine the head lights only pop up about 2in revealing modern LED style headlights! So they don't pop up so high and look dopey, but also give that subtle nod to the past while using what ya got.
🤣🤣project binky has been going on for years .....but never disappoints in the level of detail and fabrication being done....this too is no different just a different presenter and chassis ....🤣
Keep doing your thing Mike, as much as this is your build there are still some things outside of your control like awaiting parts to be delivered etc, so to see some other comments that are now demanding or expecting everything to happen quickly are disappointing. With that being said, thanks for taking the time to make and upload these videos on top of building the car itself, it's awesome to see you work through ideas, change things up if needed and get them how you want.
these episodes are important! I like seeing this type of episode. I feel like you’re not just leaving us hanging. knowing that you’re putting effort in to keep us happy makes me… happy. I need happy in my life. thanks you Mike for always producing a quality video.
You shouldnt apologise for sharing any of the work or content you make on this... every little thing is awesome and a deeper insight into the build. Keep up the good work!
Episodes are not dragging. You are doing great. I was just about to say I feel relaxed and at home as soon as the music played during the intro. Also great music choice.
I think the new Tuesday/Friday schedule makes more sense. Keep rolling with that. As far as this particular episode, I get it, they can't all be fireworks engine start videos that we all love. You gotta get all the things in place before you can do that.
Just a thought on the headlight buckets and bucket mounts. As those are fairly basic parts / shapes, you may be able to have them scanned and have replacements made using a 3D printer. And since you plan to leave them stationary, the printed part could be a single piece instead of two to save on complexity. Not sure what cost would be on that, but it would save a good amount of weight and would be easily reversible if you ever wanted to in the future. Would also save the time and effort of fabbing aluminum replacements. Just my .02. Love the series, keep up the great work. 👍
Ya or make a template just from the visible top of the headlight, make an aluminum piece (with bend) and stick it in place then secure underneath with something you can undo when the time comes.
I still think the best way to deal with the headlights is, instead of extending the vents behind them rearward, remove the headlight covers and extend the venting forward to fill the gap.
Keep it up mate, always interesting, I enjoyed the various random little projects, rather than just one focal point, because let's face it, there is always a million little things going on at once. Good to see the BMW getting some love too, need to get that back on the ground and in use again!
As always looking forward to the next video. I enjoy the step by step, no matter of importance, of every aspect of the build. Most video series or car shows on TV show builds done in weeks which is deceiving to viewers. It's always best to show the pitfalls or mistakes all of us experience with a car build. Being a fabricator myself the secrets you share are always appreciated.
I absolutely love this car, Mike! Hope you like my little old Cosworth Vauxhall Viva when it's done! Flatted back the lacquer & ready for polishing! Cheers. Leigh.
Make sure you spray plenty of cavity wax in those rocker channels/sills or the condensation the coolant pipes draw in as they cool off will rust them out!
Dash looks great. When I did marine electronics and we had equipment that couldn’t get mounted correctly bc of access, we would just clear “marine” silicone the equipment in the boat dash. Idk if silicone would stick to your dash material though. But worth a shot if you have to go that route.
Now that Project Binky has wrapped up, I need a long slow car project to watch. Thanks for taking your time and putting so much work into video production.
When you have some time I would like to see a video about how you plan such a construction, focused on how you envisioned each system to be able to shop and what method you use to research the parts you buy and choose. I know that a video like this will annoy those in a hurry who want to see everything built at once without even knowing how it was made, but I would like to know these details and you are the guy to show this stuff.
Two comments have asked for this, so I'll plan it for a bonus Sunday episode at some point! It'll probably just be all talking to the camera, but I'm sure some will enjoy it.
@@stanceworks You can display on your computer the spreadsheets, websites, drawings and programs you use in planning. I know you've covered a few in each episode (including the 3D drawing software), but I'd like to see how you fit everything together and allow you to pick the best parts and buy everything on time (or almost).
FWIW myself working with carbon fiber and black g10 materials quite often, I have found silver sharpies to be quite good for tracing pre bandsaw. Actually I lay down some of the silver sharpie under and past the edge of the part, then use a carbide tipped scribe to trace it. Mainly using the sharpie like one would use dykem on metallics. Just helps me get a more accurate trim line because the ink can tend to migrate a little bit when trying to directly trace with it.
Any chance you'd be interested in making a detailed video on how you plan out a build like this, or any build, for that matter? For example... deciding the mods, order of operations as far as; disassembly, parts order, design, at what point one would start sending parts out for coating, best places to source parts, ect. I don't think this really has been covered well on RUclips, and you seem really good at not only the fabrication aspect of the build, but planning out the build too. Share with us your process. I'm a late bloomer in life and recently started a motorcycle build. But I find that I'm always all over the place with where to start, and end up having to disassemble things twice in order to do things that could have and should have been done at the same time. Definitely a learning process. Cheers from BC, Canada
‼️🔥 great work I love the cooling pipes on the sides ... Instrument cluster looks off the hook and the lighting from the 288 GTO it's going to look awesome 👍‼️ keep up the good work
I had a thought. If mounting the headlights below, why not delete the entire head light bucket and have a carbon fibre louvre type vent run the entire way in that opening. Rather than the half vent and having the pop up headlight bolted in the down position.
Even though it totally makes sense to have a digital dash for your intended purpose of the car. It hurts my heart to see them go. I'm surprised haltech doesn't make vintage looking plug and play gauges for their systems.
You could get some custom light fixtures and do the sleepy eye style with the flip ups which would look nicer than relocating the headlights in my opinion but sick build so far keep it up!
Mike I see you a man of liking the smaller details in a build, I was wondering how much it bugs you that the frunk panel still has the notches for the wiper arms but no more wipers on the car 😅
I see some things I would do differently . but thats what sets people apart . different ways to achieve the same goal . keep going. Also the haltech mounting , a micro I bracket on the bottom and screws up top might be a better solution that way your noght fighibg to get every thing in
I’d used some cabinet door magnets to hold the gauges cluster in with some glue. That way you just pull it out and you can use some rubber edge band to make it super snug.
personally i think there might be an issue if you run the coolant lines thru the rocker since it would be easier to get pinched in case of a side impact. Love your build, keep at it .
Mike, how about you scan those headlight mounting brackets and “print” them? Repeat it with the light housing and paint them nicely, I bet it won’t make a difference in the looks department and since those parts aren’t needed for the body’s structural integrity, would be a nice eight decrease for you! B-is for build did. this a lot for “cosmetic” parts on their builds!
Hey for the dash, why don’t you use the existing mounting by connecting aluminum Plates from one side to the other and then connecting the Haltec to that holder to that.
Powder coater is Newport Mesa? Good guys and good work! As an engineer, I appreciate the details you pay attention to, and I look forward to these episodes twice a week
Could remove the headlight covers completely and have the carbon vent run the entire length of the opening? That way it could still be reversible if you don't like the look.
Just make some aluminum inserts to put in place of the headlights and the vent and vent the insert. no need to have those heavy headlight covers and brackets and no need to make new brackets. Make it one piece flush with the body would look sleek and reduce weight and give you more room.
Hey man, just a heads up that you should try to not show your keys in the video like you did leaving the shop. It's a nice breakup shot and all, but it's really easy nowadays for someone to copy the key just from a still frame. Edit: Spelling
I don't remember, but have you added any side impact protection to the doors? Might be worth the weight, especially with the coolant lines in the rockers
Mike, don't apologize to these hurried people who like to consume artificial things without tasting. This series is something real like farm food and is made to be enjoyed from the plantation, through the harvest to all the preparation of the meal and only at the end the meal is served. In this series, what counts is the journey and not the destination.
Hey man, nice job again. Why did you say you are going to mount the freshly powder coated parts back on the car? Is it so you can see the whole car mocked up? I suppose if the car is finished and everything is mounted you’ll totally strip it again for paint. And those powder coated parts can get damaged again, they came of the car originally so you know they’ll fit anyway. I would leave them safely on the shelf iiwy.
You could get someone to 3D print a new set of headlight that bolt right in to save weight. That should atleast get you down on half the weight of the original. 😊👍
Why not just make some aluminum filler panels to replace the stock headlight doors? It wouldn't be that hard to cut out some pieces of aluminum sheet/plate and some strips to weld on the sides or bottoms to stiffen them up and give you a lip around the perimeter to mount thru. Then just fasten them directly to the fenders like the vents behind the headlights? The plus side would be, it would give you something more to practice welding aluminum on that isn't mechanical/ critical. It just seems a little counter productive to reinstall install the heavy stock stuff when you are trying to cut down the weight.
Really loving this project. In contrast to others, I'm in no hurry for it to rush along. Take your time! I don't want it to end. Also I've just realized Mike kinda sounds like Kermit the Frog lol.
These episodes are dragging. When can we get a engine start ?
Dragging? Go watch some old Boosted Boys if you want slapped together K-builds with engine starts and test runs before things are even tightened. This build is proper and it will take time. The engine will start at one point, don’t you worry.
I get some people are used to RUclips instant builds but that’s not really how real life works. I’m ONE dude doing the entire build by myself. I’m also recording the entire show by myself. Editing the entire show by myself.
I’m going as quick as I can but I’m also changing *everything* about the car. It’s not just an engine swap, it’s a complete redesign of the suspension, completely custom one off wheels, re-wiring the entire car front to back, re-plumbing every fluid system on the car and re-engineering every facet of it. Completely redoing the interior… and every single part I’ve chosen to use isn’t meant in any way to be bolted onto a Ferrari.
Sorry it’s going slow but this shit takes time.
@@stanceworks I love every videos ♥️ ✌️ awesome build!
@@stanceworks take 200 episodes dude… no one else is doing this on RUclips
@@stanceworks you didn’t need to entertain this comment, but an informative list of “to do’s” to come back to

100 percent yes to this. low pro or lazy eye setup is a miata mod i think. definitely changes the look when the lights pop up low.
I've said this from the first time he mentioned the lights, think a 2" popup with Led light bars behind would look sick!
Dope as esthetic feature, but not as dope to aero, so improbable since it will be a time attack
Pop.. pop..POP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!!!!
It's been done like that on Ares Design (remake) of the Pantera. Shown on a promo video on their webpage.
Feedback: just keep doing what you're doing Mike - absolutely love it ;-)
It’s like a mini project binky twice a week! Loving the work, don’t change a thing 🤙
🤣🤣project binky has been going on for years .....but never disappoints in the level of detail and fabrication being done....this too is no different just a different presenter and chassis ....🤣
speaking of, what's going on at BOM?
It's the journey that is beautiful. You sharing every step of the build and thought process is what I really appreciate and enjoy
What about NSX head lights, will give the Ferrari the sleepy eye look while being 100% functional.

That whole digital dashboard fab you did then was just car nerd pr0n LOL
The Haltech looks killer set in the dash like that.
Well done mate.
always happy for a stanceworks upload
Yes 👌
Episodes are not dragging. You are doing great. I was just about to say I feel relaxed and at home as soon as the music played during the intro. Also great music choice.
hands down the best build on youtube! your attention to detail is remarkable
I love how in depth these are
Love the look of the Haltech in the factory dash 🔥🔥🔥
Keeping the headlight supports definitely makes sense, seems like a good call
I think the new Tuesday/Friday schedule makes more sense. Keep rolling with that. As far as this particular episode, I get it, they can't all be fireworks engine start videos that we all love. You gotta get all the things in place before you can do that.

This is probably my favourite car build on RUclips, and something that makes it even cooler is that it's just you doing it, which is super impressive!
Appreciated!
I still think the best way to deal with the headlights is, instead of extending the vents behind them rearward, remove the headlight covers and extend the venting forward to fill the gap.
You my friend is what I like to call a BALLER! That digital dash is BEAUTIFUL😍
Have you thought about extending the front fender vents to cover where the headlight buckets sat?
Keep it up mate, always interesting, I enjoyed the various random little projects, rather than just one focal point, because let's face it, there is always a million little things going on at once.

Yessir! That Haltech unit is a nice touch! It'll look crazy good in the stock dash!
Been following the build since almost the beginning is simply amazing man keep up the good work can't wait to see the end of the project
This build is awesome and I’ve been following every episode since the beginning. BUT, I do want to hear more about that big-ass old truck lol
This build is quickly reaching Bad Obsession Motorsports Binky level for me. Informative, interesting, and rewatchable.
That AN would make a sweet steering column. Love this build man !!
Great way to slow roll the end of my work day. Thanks for the content! Hello from Abu Dhabi!
Love the content you put out keep it! This by far my favorite build on RUclips!

You should put some kind of vent or radiator behind the headlight buckets that you can toggle from inside the car...
The fit on that Haltech is fucking DOPE, nice work
Even though it totally makes sense to have a digital dash for your intended purpose of the car. It hurts my heart to see them go. I'm surprised haltech doesn't make vintage looking plug and play gauges for their systems.
I normally hate the big CANBus screens but the Haltech fits the 308 dashboard perfectly 👌
I like the pace and content of the video. Keep up the great work.

I love this idea. If I knew it would be safe in the event of a crash I’d do it.
I will miss the classic round gauge cluster, but that Haltech dash did fit up nice and clean.
personally i think there might be an issue if you run the coolant lines thru the rocker since it would be easier to get pinched in case of a side impact. Love your build, keep at it .
If I have a side impact, I'm not too worried about my engine coolant lines :-p
I've decided. This is my favorite all time YT build. Love binky, but this is so my style....
Im thinking of HUD lol. That would be an epic addition but pretty sure a proper HUD unit would hard to come by
To save weight on the headlightmounts you could have drilled large holes on several places before having them coated.
I considered it, but if I am going to rebuild them at some point in aluminum, it's just wasted effort and time right now.
That yellow-blue stuff worth a like alone! :D
Seriously!!!
Watched every episode thought you were well out of order butchering a 308gtb as I own one but don't want this to end fantastic job. Essex GB
Mike, how about you scan those headlight mounting brackets and “print” them? Repeat it with the light housing and paint them nicely, I bet it won’t make a difference in the looks department and since those parts aren’t needed for the body’s structural integrity, would be a nice eight decrease for you!

Hey for the dash, why don’t you use the existing mounting by connecting aluminum Plates from one side to the other and then connecting the Haltec to that holder to that.
I bet Home Built by Jeff might want some of those gauges for his Alfarrari build
I completely understand the need for that digital dash... but those old analog gauges are so cool.
I was thinking about how about having the stands for the headlight buckets 3d printed? They can be made strong and really Light!
Consider strong Velcro for your dash mounting.
Powder coater is Newport Mesa? Good guys and good work!
As an engineer, I appreciate the details you pay attention to, and I look forward to these episodes twice a week
Yup! Wes at Newport Mesa is great.
Using ‘iterate’ instead of ‘reiterate’. MY MAN! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Could remove the headlight covers completely and have the carbon vent run the entire length of the opening? That way it could still be reversible if you don't like the look.
I photoshopped it and it looks awful haha
Damn. Should have guessed you had already looked at it that way
Just make some aluminum inserts to put in place of the headlights and the vent and vent the insert. no need to have those heavy headlight covers and brackets and no need to make new brackets. Make it one piece flush with the body would look sleek and reduce weight and give you more room.
Every episode full of knowledge I'm learning from u sir
Love the digital dash. Makes me want to swap out my '06 Boxster's cluster for one.
Awesome. Look at works- You are an artist 👍
Awesome. Loving the project!
Dash looks great!
I love how excited you are by a big an fitting 😂😂
weld some captive nuts onto that panel you making, behind the dash so you have something to screw the plastic onto rather. removal will be easier too
The giant A/N fitting cracks me up!
Hey man, just a heads up that you should try to not show your keys in the video like you did leaving the shop. It's a nice breakup shot and all, but it's really easy nowadays for someone to copy the key just from a still frame.
Edit: Spelling
I don't remember, but have you added any side impact protection to the doors? Might be worth the weight, especially with the coolant lines in the rockers
It would be a clean look to make a big vent that covers both the vent and the headlight both.
Mike, don't apologize to these hurried people who like to consume artificial things without tasting. This series is something real like farm food and is made to be enjoyed from the plantation, through the harvest to all the preparation of the meal and only at the end the meal is served. In this series, what counts is the journey and not the destination.
It would be cool if you modified an old small clock face to fit in that dash panel. Give it a little classic style next to that haltec
"It may not look big, but it is quite big!" I can't imagine this phrase being well received by the ladies.
That time me and Mike built a Ferrari in his garage and he took my advice on matching the fenders to the body color.
That's a sweet (and expensive) pen holder!
Hey man, nice job again. Why did you say you are going to mount the freshly powder coated parts back on the car? Is it so you can see the whole car mocked up? I suppose if the car is finished and everything is mounted you’ll totally strip it again for paint. And those powder coated parts can get damaged again, they came of the car originally so you know they’ll fit anyway. I would leave them safely on the shelf iiwy.
Well, you’re definitely right. It’s solely to see things mocked up.
You could get someone to 3D print a new set of headlight that bolt right in to save weight. That should atleast get you down on half the weight of the original. 😊👍
Love the detail you go into. This is my favourite build series on RUclips.
I am here for the build.
However, you should rock a stache Mike.
Cheers!
Why not just make some aluminum filler panels to replace the stock headlight doors? It wouldn't be that hard to cut out some pieces of aluminum sheet/plate and some strips to weld on the sides or bottoms to stiffen them up and give you a lip around the perimeter to mount thru. Then just fasten them directly to the fenders like the vents behind the headlights? The plus side would be, it would give you something more to practice welding aluminum on that isn't mechanical/ critical.
It just seems a little counter productive to reinstall install the heavy stock stuff when you are trying to cut down the weight.
What about a Ferrari 308 GTB Le Mans style headlight setup? with new led lights of course.
Not using the fliplights, maybe could have those make into airintakes?
The whole reason I’m not using them is I dislike the way they look up. Opting for air intakes means they’d need to be up. No go for me.
Really loving this project. In contrast to others, I'm in no hurry for it to rush along. Take your time! I don't want it to end.
Also I've just realized Mike kinda sounds like Kermit the Frog lol.
Love it! Keep it up- the content is awsome!
Love the dash 🔥
It’s motivating me to get around to installing my digital dash.
Let me guess you ordered some Tillett seats ??🙏🏽
