Most difficult fix ever : Project Opel GT 1971 #22
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- This episode was difficult to labor. The roof venting panel is so complicated to fabricate, and surprisingly enough, found yet another bad fix from the past. This episode is about fabricating the panel, and next episode should include the welding. This one might need some assistance from experts, and maybe a new TIG welding machine.
i am a metal worker with 49 years experience and i watched this with awe and admiration . Stunning work. look forward to the next video
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your comment. However, I do understand, that the more I know things, more I realize that I am at the very beginning of my journey with metal works.
I like that 31 other people have appreciated your comment as well !!!!!!
I love the format! No talking, all doing. Just the opposite of most RUclips channels
Thanks, my niche exactly , glad you liked it...
I really hope this Opel GT understands just how lucky she is to have an owner like this. My god this guy is good.
Thanks for the super compliment..
An astounding amount of high quality work invested in a car that simply isn’t worth it.
Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure, if you have missed the point here: In this series of videos I am doing a MY dream car from my childhood, for ME.
Car could have been way better condition to start with, I admit. So my options were:
1. Ditch the car = Loose your money, don't have the car at the end
2. Do the car = Loose some money, but have a GT at the end
3. Do the car, and have RUclips channel to document the insane project = Gain back most of the money, and have the GT at the end.
So for ME it is worth it. Big thanks for the praising comment 😅
Stay tuned for rest of the episodes..
Very impressed with your craftsmanship, kudos.
I know what we see on screen is a microscopic fraction of the work you’re putting in.
Thank you for sharing those little inventive thoughts on how to get around the latest problem and then solving it.
Thanks, well 630 hours done an 22 episodes with average length on 20min. That gives roughly 1% of the work is visible to the audience. Thans for this comment this was fun...
Words fail me - the level of precision and ingenuity on display to achieve the desired end product are humbling. This is a labour of love.
...or insanity.
But thanks for uplifting comment.. Much appreciated.
Tremendous patience and awesome fabrication equals a remarkable job.keep it up 😊😊😊
Thanks for uplifting compliment...
This is getting better and better, I really like how you make your own made tools. Great work.
Thank you very much! The wooden bending tool was a result of me not wanting to hammer it and then english wheeling it, because it would stretch the arch, hence distorting the curvature...But in the end, its would not have made any difference since double welding warped the piece anyway.....
Oh great, another episode of *Anxiety Goes Higher* , where I become paranoid about parts of my GT that I didn't even know could be susceptible to rust, and where you make each and every one of us ashamed for cutting corners and accepting lower craftsmanship than you tolerate. Until you came around, we could all say "Well, *no one* would bother to check/fix that." Now look what you've done.
My humble apologies. I try to improve in the future episodes.... 😂😂
Es ist wirklich interessant, wie du dir Werkzeuge baust, um das Blech in die richtige Form zu bringen. Ich freue mich immer, wenn ein neues Video von dir kommt.
Respekt und mach weiter so 😊
Danke für den Kommentar. Die Armen müssen einfallsreich sein
Great job. Your bodywork skills are impressing me. It's very satisfying to watch your videos.
Thanks, although I would spice this up a bit with a ability to weld properly....
Very difficult repair. Awesome job on the repair. Great fabrication skills.
Thank you, much appreciated.
I‘m impressed and speachless about so much Knowledge and the achieved result!!!!
Thanks, this is quite a learning process for me....
Your skills and determination are mindblowing.
Thanks.. NICE SPITFIRE... subscribed !!
Just thank you for another superb video. I would love to learn TIG welding, but I'm too old to tackle the learning process or to take on any projects. I simply appreciate watching your progress. All best wishes.
Thanks George.. Nobody is too old for learning new stuff. I appreciate your comments and views....
By every new video I'm more and more in awe for your workmanship and dedication. Looking forward to the next video. I did miss the time counter/clock, so to know how much time you've put in this time. Keep ut the more than good work!
Thanks for the comment. Reason for leaving out the counter end scene, was that I think that I am not done with this part yet.. I will show how much time it took, after welding is done... Thanks for noticing it tho...
This channel deserves way more subscribers. Awesome stuff.👍
I appreciate that! I think I have s***load of subscribers...I was expecting few friends to follow...
Looking good and a very difficult job. Keep up the excellent work. I'm very much enjoying following your progress on the build.
Thank for the comment and views !! Would like to have you back for next episode...
WAW!!!
skill and creative genius!
Thanks for the comment and views...
@@GT1900garage Please. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Amazing. You find solutions where others would walk away. When you don’t hide your mistakes, but include them, you let others learn from them. Respect ✊
Oh, that was a good point. Yes, mistakes make the drama...
I'm still in awe of your work, just fantastic.
Thanks for the comment. Appreciated
like usual you do a great job, on the point of welding penetration, you always need to let a small aperture between the two different parts so it goes trough it.
Yes, there was a 0.5 gap, but still when grinding it flat, the remaining weld was very thin....I had to grind a deep groove to fill it up again with full weld, knowingly risking it to be warped like hell... But luckily it was manageable...
Everything is absolutely beautiful next video please 😍
Very soon! Might be success or failure...we'll see..
I really love this project. Almost can't want for the next episode👍👍
Thanks for the comment and being a regular viewer. Currently working on putting parts made in previous three episode together....some overwhelming challenges...
Very inspiring! That makes me want to go immediately to my workshop to finish finally my Beetle. ;-)
Not a better reward other than being a boost or inspiration to someone else project.. Go for it..
that is a ridiculous amount of talent...👏👏👏
Eagerness and maybe patience. = illusion of talent...
The level for detail and craftmanship is truly of the scale. Much respect, also for the video editing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Much appreciated! Hartelijk bedankt. Groeten aan Nederland
@@GT1900garage hahahaha...you know your foreign languages as well. Very good!🤘
Unbelievably great work. I keep saying it, but your metal skills are on another level. TIG may be an answer, but it takes some mastering. Really looking forward to the next in the series.
Thanks
Yes, unfortunately my MIG skills would not be adequate for the top seam... lets see what I end up doing with that.. I don't want to buy a TIG welding machine to just to try it out here....Bit of a dilemma...
@@GT1900garage I know exactly what you mean. These jobs are always about trying to not let the money run away from you. Maybe there is some kind person in Finland who could lend you a TIG for a week or two?
I am very, nah! let me start over...
I'm extremely impressed my friend, that wood trick at 18:35 was pure ingenuity.
Hah, trying to avoid hammering with that gizmo, to avoid distortion..But then I had to re-weld it so.....
Amazing! You sir, are a real craftsman. I love to watch your videos.
Thank you. And thanks for views !!!
WOW!! Fantastic panel making you made that look easy well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 look forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thanks, trust me mate; This corner is nightmare.....in next episode i try to put all these parts together. Aaaaaa'not an easy task🤣😅
Ei voi kuin ihailla kerta toisensa jälkeen. Varsinkin tuo käsityökalujen käyttö ja omavalmiste välineet lämmittää mieltä! Montaa hyvää juttua on jäänyt takataskuun näitä videoita katsoessa. Tsemppiä jatkoon!!
Ihan loistavaa. Tuo puristintyökalun tein sen vuoksi että en halunnut tuota bumerangin muotoista kaarevaa muotoa vasaralla hakata koveraksi, silloin olisin joutunut käyttämään Englanninpyörää, joka taas olisi venyttänyt peltiä. Pelkäsin että bumerangin muoto ei enää sovi ikkunan kehykseen. Siksi tuo kovera muoto piti saada jollain muulla tehtyä. Lopussa sillä ei juuri ollut merkitystä sillä tupla täyssauma joka tapauksessa laittoi osan kieroksi jota piti puoli tuntia hieroa takaisin omaan muotoonsa... No tulipa tehtyä..
There is a joke in Serbia
What does a little gypsy do in a math class
He sits and does not believe
I am like that little gypsy kid. I am sitting, watching and dont belive.
God bless you man and your patience
Heh, funny....Inappropriate, but funny.
Thanks for the comment.
Very clever. Loved your problem solving and skilful work.
Thank you for the comment, and views !
Absolutely fantastic thought process and quality of work
I have to repair a completely rotted out lower rear window panel in a Merc C107 and you have shown me how to do it.
Many thanks
Keep up the great work
I would LOVE to see that... do you have project pictures online?
Thanks for your reply. I bought the Slc as a parts car for my SL. Eventually hadn’t the heart to break it as they are starting to get rare. I haven’t started restoration yet but hope to do so in the next 12 months. No pictures unfortunately right now as the car is stored remotely The back window is quite large and Is quite curved at the sides. The panel between the window bottom and boot lid seems to be 95% paint. It’s the make or break panel for the restoration so I have to make the face of the repair panel before the rear window comes out as it is likely to disintegrate when the window is removed. You are an inspiration to me to at least have a go at it.
Sounds like a good plan. I would assume that there are repair panels for the C107?
Stunning! Great solutions to fix complex situations
Thanks a lot. Stay tuned for the bitter end...
Я смотрю на этот проект некоторое время, и самое сильное беспокойство вызывала крыша в этом месте. Это очень, очень сложная работа, требующая фантазии, терпения и уверенности в себе. Великолепный промежуточный результат! Уверен, что окончательный тоже будет отличным и крыша не пойдет волнами после сварки.
Спасибо за комментарий, да, мы уже на стороне победителей, но с верхним швом все еще большая проблема... После этого посмотрим, насколько я уверен в себе.
May I suggest the RUclips videos of Carter's Auto Restyling, from Saskatchewan, in Canada. The presenter has a very idiosyncratic style, but is an excellent body worker and is currently working on a truck where he has a number of long seams to weld on the 'chopped' roof.
Absolutely phenomenal work you are doing!
Thanks a lot !!
Amazing! So impressive.
Thanks a lot! Still half way there with this part. Lets see how it ends up...
Damn, that is tough work and hats off the way you are going at it! mad respect brother, top work!
Thanks, but still half way there...
Superb skills! Inspirational after a difficult day working on my own restoration project - thank you 😊
Yes, it is always a soothing thing to watch someone else dealing with bigger problems. I do also have couple of soothing channels where I could go and fill up my confidence tank !
Wow, just … wow. What fantastic work!
Thanks of the compliment...
A lot of hours!! I admire your patience and attention to detail. The results are going to be amazing!!
Thanks for the comment..Hopefully yes, and hopefully it will be around in after another 50 years.
exelent work👍👍
Thanks. Stay tune for more episodes.
You got it. I can't wait for the next episode...
Not there yet. Still needs to be welded in... But thanks for the comment..
You will recall we discussed this repair and the difficulties involved. There are other ways to do this repair. There always is. It all but had to be done with multiple pieces. All giving you an excellent chance of moving the glass/trim reveal. This type of repair can give one fits! Ha! Fits! I must say your approach was very insightful. Your coving tool? Homeric. Well done! I think you have successfully crossed the Rubicon! It’s all downhill now. Outstanding planning and result!
Thanks for the comment. Hmm, to be honest I was several times on the verge of desperation with this part. Especially since I had to constantly ensure that glass will fit... Still not sure about will it fit. Time will show, after all welds are done...
@@GT1900garage Repair around set glass is either simple or very challenging. A 3” section of pinch-seam is simple. A full or even partial perimeter is a nightmare. And it’s not just the glass but the trim work! Getting gaps right. I sometimes put a layer of electrical tape on the trim and use it as a guide. I can do this work, but I am not a professional. Same as you. But I’ve rebuilt many cars. Today I was making support panels with dimpled/flanged holes for a ‘63 race car. Glass channel repair? Never again I hope. Keep at it. You seem to have the patience of Jobe! You are doing excellent work. A beautiful car will be your reward!
Thanks for the reply. I think the main point is the patience..everything else runs smooth if you are not in a hurry... As I was with the C- pillar.. Paying only attention to the curvature and continuation of the C-pillar line, I totally missed the boumerang shaped area at the back side of the C-pillar. Hence it was warped 5mm off. And that is 5mm too much..
Beyond incredible...meticulous, fastidious and impressive. That said, with this much time + skill invested so far, I hope that the car itself was free!
I WISH !
If the car would have been free, I would have bailed out ages ago. I paid a way too much for this, so only thing I could do is to finish the project. But, I would like to have some conversation with the seller though 🤣🤣
What can I say? just amazing work, well done!
Enough said. Thanks again for comment and views...
wow ! absolute amazing work and always a great solution for any problem . love it 🙂
Thank you very much!
I wondered how you were going to tackle that.... amazing.
dunno if I tackled it yet, welding is still to come...
You are an absolute Unit in the most positive way.
And when i read your "Ok, but could it get worse?" i only sat in here in shock giving an audible "oh noooo" from me.
Insane work and love to detail - Keep it coming. Looking forward to every Video of yours!
Yep, that was my response as well.. I knew that there were some hidden in the C-pillar, but still it was a worth of audible Oh no! Thanks for the view and comment..
insane , i can see you build an entire car from scratch
Thanks, yes, there is nothing sane in this project. I tend to agree with your statement myself...
I fell in love with Opel GTs when I was a young kid and saw my first one at a drive-in hamburger restaurant in the 70s. Your dedication to saving this one is commendable. Thanks for saving one more from the crusher or from returning to its base elements in a field.
Thanks for the comment. Many people do not appreciate the greatnes of Opel GT. I appreciate the ones who appreciate.
Great work!
Seems you live in your work shop. Crancin out these videos in a rapid pace, yeat the work is meticoulusly precise.
Great thanks and keep on crancin them out!
Thanks for the comment. I have reached the age that I have ability, and self control to choose when and how much I spend time the garage.. Which is pretty much every evening....but only few hours at the time.. I kind of like the sofa as well....
Das ist Handwerkskunst auf höchsten Niveau die ganze Karosserie Instandsetzung sucht seinesgleichen ! Hut ab für Deine Leistung auf höchsten Niveau Ich bin begeistert wie du mit einfachsten Mitteln derartige Karosserieteile instandsetzt . Mfg Wolfgang
Danke für den Kommentar. Manchmal muss man innovativ sein und sich etwas Neues einfallen lassen. Normalerweise ist es sinnlos, aber manchmal funktioniert eine einfache Idee am besten.
Crazy work 😊 . You do a super job
Thank for the comment. I think it is not that unique, but maybe i have slightly more patience than me 15 years ago😀
Erstaunlich, wie du das machst, mach weiter so, ich kann es mir stundenlang ansehen 😊
Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Es scheint, dass das Auto noch in einem solchen Zustand ist, dass noch stundenlang Material vorhanden ist.
Excellent 🙂
Thanks for the visit. Stay tuned for next episode.. and more to come
Letztendlich ein vernünftiges Ergebnis.
Jeder tragende Schlag mit einem Hammer dehnt das Material.
Als Projekt ist das alles eine Herausforderung.
Wenn Sie eine nue Folge haben, schauen ich mir diese zuerst an.
Ich werde dann suchen, nach den Stücken die Sie nicht zeigen.
Aber.... es bereitet mir viel Sehvergnügen.
Ultimately a reasonable result.
Every load-bearing blow with a hammer stretches the material.
As a project, this is all a challenge.
If you have a new episode, I'll watch it first.
I will then look for the pieces you don't show.
But.... it gives me a lot of viewing pleasure.
Nochmals vielen Dank für den Kommentar. Stück für Stück lernte ich, wie sich Metall verhält, wenn es anders bearbeitet wird. Dieses ganze Projekt ist nur ein Lernprozess
Your patience is incredible! I’m restoring a Volvo 1800ES, it has a lot of rust, but nowhere near as much as your Opel, and I’m incredibly frustrated with it, and all the rust repair I’m having to do.
Thanks for the comment ! I truly admire the outlook of Volvo 1800ES, beautiful car. What kind or car that is for restoration? I mean, GT is one of the most difficult cars to fix, how is it with 1800ES?
@@GT1900garage the Volvo 1800 is a massive pain to restore . It was originally a British designed body , and they like to weld everything, including the front fenders . So very few things unbolt . There are also a lot of areas inside where mud collects and rusts.
I try to chemically remove most of the rust , I want to upload a new video next few days where I show the pump system and chemical mix that I use.
Some areas are completely gone , so I have to weld in new ones like the front cross member and rear fenders .
@@AndySomogyi ok, thanks for info, I did not know that! Surely would be interested in seeing the pump system…
A very difficult piece but you got there 👍
Thank you very much! Yes. kinda stretched my own limits there....
Amazing work as usual!
Thanks again. Always a nice to have a comment from a RUclips colleague..
18:41 - it's so simple and brilliant!
Hah, this was my attempt to bend this narrow strip evenly, without hammering (and English wheeling) it. I tried to avoid distortion, but in the end it did not matter since the piece was warped with double welding...
If I only had 10% of the patience and nerve you have for this project, I would be a happy and satisfied person! Awesome work!
OR.....OR, you could be happy as Barbie... I think I would be happier driving around already NOW with my GT, instead of tearing it down to pieces....
Great Job!👍
Thanks! Stay tuned for more episodes.
The exact reason I will only ever breed in some premade tins. Stunning, I wish I would be half way at your level of metalwork. 😵💫 great work on a car others would have thrown away with simpler problems to solve. This will be better than new once it’s done 😂😂
Thanks for the uplifting comment. HOWEVER; the only (Hopefully ONE and only) repro panel that I bought for this car was used in this episode. The vent grill was a 100€ repro panel, and I was about to ditch it because it was 0,7mm thin metal ... !!!!!!...How can anyone modify and weld 0,7mm panel without accidentally grind it to 0,5mm.... I mean...I saw factory made panels for the GT floors, but left them to the shop since they were thin as....
@@GT1900garage I was restoring (mostly) US cars from the late 50s to the mid 70s for the better part of the laszt 30 years. But I never was even close to what I saw you do at the GT. I could have only given up if presented with such tasks. The nose reshape you did on that GT in another video was stunning. I couldn’t belive my eyes 👍🏻👍🏻🤩
The thickness of the panels is a joke more often than not. I mailordered panels for a 51 mercury. The fenders were like 2.5 millimeters. Each one enough metal to make a modern compact car from. The Floorpans were 0.7 mm. Ridiculous. Almost so thin you couldn’t weld them to the rest of the body. I got a talented metalworker to make new pans for me 😎
TOTALLY agree.. My friend is restoring a DeSoto, and all the panels have like three times thick as my GT... ridiculous..
@@GT1900garage I think fondly of these „immortal“ bodies, I also like a separate chassis in the 1930s style. You can fix and restore cars like that time and again. I did card that underwent a frame not off Restauration in the 1970s just to make the driveable again. And I could redo the car buts and bolts without running out of Original Substance. And seeing how later technological developments - twin circuit breaks, break boosters, etc. - cab be refitted to these cars without looking like much later additions. It just takes time and patience.
@@frankodo3251 yes. The scalability (updating modern tech to the classic original body) is one of the best features of a american classic cars. Mostly due to vast amount on metal and space in between, used in those cars. I have fell in love to small class European cars, they are unique and beculiar (like my Mini and a GT), but they are not as "heavy" as american counterparts .
"Sole poikha Mikhään" vs " Man's gotta do what man's gotta do".. Komeeta touhua .. Kiitos..
Kiitos itsellesi katsomisesta ja kommentista...
Your metalwork skills are 10/10. I’m a big fan. Have you thought about how you will protect the finished car against rust? There are so many weak spots in the design of the car.
I have thought that a lot.. Well :
1. Improve draining and ventilation for those poorly designed rust traps.
2. full "submarine" quality epoxy on the all the location that I can now reach now
3. leaving "maintenance entrances" for places that might require rust protection. ( beams and closed compartments)
Nice job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
bravo, excelent travail . bonne continuations .💪
Merci beaucoup. Salutations à la France
Wonderfull work, I remember all the bad parts of the GT and how difficult it was to get things better. You are doing a truly great job and it is a great joy to watch what you are doing!
Thanks a ton! Yes, I assume that rear window vents are pain in the **s when just doing a light restoration...
Absolutely amazing
Thanks, appreciated your opinion..
That was epic!!! Too bad about the thin thin metal on the vent strip. The pipe press gave me a belly laugh but very ingenious. Would a preformed rib ( see 0:42) on the roof panel limit distortion when you weld the whole shebang together. Thanks for posting.
Yes, I was this close to ditch the whole 0,7mm panel when I received it in the mail... The preformed rib still plays a important role since it is only guide to the window curvature.. It must keep the curve as is...or I am screwed...
Great Job !!
Thanks mate.
You are making one masterpiece after the other. Very awesome. I owned two Opel GT in the 80's. The were build 1969 and 1972. At that time they of course were in a better condition. Great work!
Thanks for the comment. Some say, that GTs were doomed already in early 80's. Obviously depends on the location...
I watch a ton of automotive videos on RUclips and this build is by far the one I’m looking forward to seeing finished the most. This car is tied for my dream automobile between this, the Opal GT and the Studebaker Avanti 2. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comment. To be honest, I truly wish to see this car ready at some day... I had to google up Avanti 2, kind of similar vibes with Opel GT.
@@GT1900garage the Studebaker is very interesting to. They would put Chevrolet v8 engines in them. Pretty neat cars.
You do the most amazing work. You make it all look so easy. God has really blessed you with talent. I have got mine disassembled to the point where I’m just having to figure out how to disconnect the steering column to drop the front suspension. I’ll then have to drop the engine, empty the engine bay and remove what’s left of the steering column and the rest of the wiring harness. Then I have to wait for the paint shop to have opening. I can’t wait to see episode 23.
Thanks.. Not sure did I already talk to you earlier, but do you have GT project somewhere available online?
Really diffucult shapes and curves on the window part, a lot of work and tedious details to take care of. Amazing to watch, all the cudos for making this video and shring your work with us!
Many thanks! And thanks for being regular on this channel..Appreciated.
what a huge amount of work went into this, but fantastically beautifully made, another beautiful video to watch 🙂👍🏻
Thanks...About 20 hours, and still it needs to be welded in....
To my surprise, this episode is very straightforward. It lacks all kinds of gimmicks like animations and stuff. Maybe this is due to the very challenging task. Have to admit this is really hardcore with all the curves and the vents. Always lots of respect for your work and craftsmanship.
BTW: have you seen the channel of Dominic Chinea who is currently working on a Porsche 356 ? That thing is maybe as rotten as your GT. Very handsome guy. Give it a try.
Keep on 👍
Hi, spot on. The window frame and vents has been REALLY laborous and difficult task. I decided to simplify my filming and editing within these three episodes....this is constant fitting and trying, fixing and redoing. No time to do stop motion. When I get over this vent panel, I'm gonna get back to my own style. Thanks for the tip, i subscribed the channel.
I admire your patience, commitment and skills.
Chapeau!
I hope that you find a way of protecting your precious work results from rusting.
I look forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you for sharing.
All the best!
Thank you very much! Yes, car will be once more LIGHTLY sandblasted and painted with "submarine" quality of epoxy... I hope it will last..
@@GT1900garage
thank you for responding.
I was wondering about the inside surfaces.
There seem to be many inaccessible places in this car body.
I am sure you have a solution on hand.
I look forward to seeing your videos.
Bloody brillant mate
Thanks for the compliment...
Nice tool you have made to bend the metal lips. An adjustable wrench will work just as well.
yes, but this was 3cm wide, so less sharp angles ( at least I though)...but you are right...
Such a pleasure to watch a labor of love in progress!
...or insanity.
But thanks for the kind comment.
SUPER,SMART,BEST! Super snyggt!👌👌🏆
Tusen tack......
I´m impressed. Very difficult part to make there. Smart method to shape the panel with the pipe press!
Thanks, reason for that was that hammering would require also english wheeling for smoothing, and that would cause stretching, hence warping....but in the end, it would not have make any difference....since double welding warped the piece anyway...
You saved my saturday evening with your excellent work,thank you
Wow, thanks for the uplifting comment... thanks for follow !
Your skill defies words! Your videos are fascinating and, at the same time, suspenseful! I was holding my breath, hoping that each stage would be successful.
Thanks again for comment. I feel privileged for being regular channel to watch ....
Un artista più che un artigiano. Un vero piacere vederti lavorare. Complimenti.
Grazie mille... È fantastico ricevere commenti da diverse parti del mondo...
Wonderful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful staff, I am so impressed very skilled with limited tools, well done!
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for more episodes with poor man solutions to problems 😂
What a journey!
Thank you very much for the videos.
Best Regards from Germany.
Vielen Danke !!
That one roof vent piece would make you a millionair if it could be massed produced...
Sorry to disappoint you, but that panel (with the vent holes) was a repro panel 😥
Sensationelle Arbeit, danke das ich dabei sein darf. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video. 👍👍👏
Danke für den Kommentar. Ich hoffe, dass das nächste Video viel Unterhaltung bieten wird. Oder es ist so, aber ob es in Form von Erfolg oder Misserfolg geschieht, bleibt abzuwarten.
Incredible!! Amazing!!! Be proud of yourself man!
Thanks a lot.. appreciated.
Making that look so easy fair play to you great progress
Thank you...Well. It was not easy...and the worst part is yet to come...
Great work! I would have liked to see how you did the rolled edges on the vent holes. I know how I probably would have done it, but I bet you did it differently.
Sorry to disappoint you, but that was the only panel that I bought for this project. It was 100€ but was about to ditch it because it was made with 0,7mm steel (OH WHYYYYYYYY !!). But then I decided to use that panel....and to be honest - it sucks. 1mm would have been much better...
Ingenious methods! I would gave liked to see how you cut and shaped the vent holes.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the vent panel (with the holes) was a the ONLY repro part that I will use to this car...
@@GT1900garage I missed that! Didn’t realize you bought the piece. I must have sneezed and missed that bit!
I actually never mentioned that, it was in the episode, but I had to cut few clips to make the music fit.. sot that was it....
Holy smokes, I bet that gave you a few sleepless nights, but as always, great methodology.
Luckily nights are still very sleepful, but lost remaining of my hairline...
Outstanding work my friend keep it up👍
Thanks for the visit. Some heady duty challenges during the process tho....
