Fitting the hand-made dash… will it fit? 😱

  • Remember the beautiful, custom made dash Geoff Webster made for us? Well today was the first time fitting it inside the car and it didn't fit. It's interfering with the steering column bracket so we need to figure out how we can modify it so that it fits

    I would honestly get either a smaller steering wheel or a shaft that will let the steering wheel tilt so Jolene can see out the window better. And i like how the lighting aluminated under the hood. I would put lighting like that under the hood. I think it would be bad ass! The car is coming along slowly but surely. Great job Chad,Jolene and Nate!!

      In my opinion make a footwell, put pedals in it shorten steering column, smaller wheel,raise seat and slide forward ,

    • @moyadapne968
      @moyadapne968 Год назад +2

      Early Mazda Miatas/MX5's have a nice smaller wood MoMo or Nardi steering wheel. It'd be perfect for the power steering on Bugatti. I have a selection, and may yet send one to Chad.

    • @kelvinboyd7459
      @kelvinboyd7459 Год назад

      I agree but if you put a small stirring wheel on there you're definitely gonna have to add power stirring

    • @melwood5001
      @melwood5001 11 месяцев назад +1

      I have to agree. The steering wheel is to big, to forward and should tilt down more. It is almost in Jolene's face. Just my opinion. Love the dash BTW.

  • @rickj428
    @rickj428 Год назад +23

    Fit the dash first then fit the steering column to the dash. The dash is already made to fit the steering is still in the development stage.

    Hi Chad the steering columb is protruding the dash to much could be shortened considerably so its closer to the dash it appears to have heaps of room to do so

    Everyone has an opinion but I enjoy watching you assemble the vehicle. This is the toughest part that other shows skip through where all the adjustments happen. It may not be good TV on regular television but your RUclips channel it works just fine.
    Keep Nate around great teamwork

    Hi Chad, Jolene, & Nate, another day of fine tuning, that is the major difference between reassembly work and first time assembly work. With reassembling it is just a matter of remembering how things go together. With you guys assembling things for the first time there is a lot of trial, error, and adjustments with parts going in & out of the vehicle until they are fine tuned. It is alot of work but well worth it in the end, Jolene will be the envy of the town. Jolene great video as always & I love being able to exactly what the guys are doing even in the tight spots like under the dash. It must feel good recording your build for a change. Like Chad said you have been very patient for a long time!

  • @mixablefluid9353

    It’s really great to see the car come together. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I just have one question and I’m not trying to be critical of the process. I’m just trying to understand why the steering column has to be so far into the cabin with that humongous steering wheel on it, I understand the need for the leg height. But if there was a smaller steering wheel, you would be able to lower the column I would think. I know there’s thousands of questions and ideas and there like butt holes everybody got one I’m just trying to figure out a solution. also JoLainie you have been very patient with this car. My hats off to you. 😅

  • @jimfinlaw4537
    @jimfinlaw4537 Год назад +5

    Anytime you hand build a car from scratch, you can expect there will have to be some hand tweeking going on thats necessary to make everything fit together perfectly and function flawlessly. This whole process is very time consuming, but certainly necessary for a high quality outcome. The Bugatti is going to be a very sharp looking car when all has been said and done. Chad and Nathan are doing a great job sorting everything out. Jolene is doing a great job with the camera. Keep up the great work.

I built a camaro back in the day ii had parts and pieces bagged and labeled for weeks months years . Hard to remember where everything went annd fit to it was fun to build the best part was the driving it 6 years later

  • @paulmatott8331

Alot of the people in chat think the wheel is to high . I think it looks great . It's a process to get it right keep up the awesome work and it will get done !

The power of love shows for Joline in this very unique automobile, it is so obvious. I see it as a masterpiece of form and function coming directly from his heart. Joline is so deserving of this. Joline, great job with your talents both being so good with your camera and a part of the working crew of course.

    Rubber goes on to the glass and then I think a 1/8 inch rope tucks into the grove that goes on to the pinch weld, once you have the rope tucked in hang the two ends crossed over each other over the dash and with some gental pressure on the outside with a flat palm you gentally aplly a we bit of preasure while pulling the rope. Pull the rope out against the pinch weld which flips the lip of the rubber over the pitch weld to inside the car .I also remember doing my sons window in his vw van that the trim went in the rubber after the rubber was mounted on the edge of the glass then the lip flap was pulled over and inside to the back of the pinch weld. I used alittle soap mixed with water in a spray bottle to assist the install. The area should be painted before the rubber and window goes in.Good luck Guys.

    Great to see some more work being done on the Bugatti rep. I get nervous watching you guys fitting and refitting that beautiful wooden dash though. even though your careful one simple mistake and it could easily be damaged. I would also be covering up that finished seat and have it adjustable rails so the steering wheel was sat back further towards the dash it just looks so wrong stuck out so far.. Not my build though and its these final details that are so important now before tearing down again for the body paint. Looking amazing and will be a fabulous finished car.

    There is a seam where the rubber was put together goes at the bottom in the middle. The chrome is put on the rubber them both go on the glass. Then insert a thin rope or cord in rubber overlapping rope about foot. Apply soap and water around window and opening. Center window and light pressure on front of window then pull rope evenly allowing rubber to flip over lip. Don’t allow window to slip up on the top. Once rope is out window should be in.

    I would go with a shorter steering wheel shaft. in an accident her face would hit the steering wheel squarely. perhaps a smaller steering wheel unless you need the diameter to make steering easier. I hope you are planning on racing seat belts and perhaps a "tilt wheel" to make getting in & out easier. It looks really great - you have lots of patience; it is obviously a labor of love.
