      As a young apprentice mechanic, I would have a question on how to do something. Some journeymen were helpful while a few would point to the manuals room and say "everything you need to know is in there". I figured out they were insecure personalities that had the thought that if they taught me what they knew, I would know that and possibly more. The threat for them was that I could then replace them. This irritates me to this day. If someone is willing to learn what I can possibly teach them, I have no problem taking the time to explain.

    Back in the 70's my grandmother's friend had worked in an aircraft factory making skins on an English Wheel. In her retirement she had her own wheel & made all kinds of neat stuff. She made a mock gas tank for my bicycle. She made a few bodies for pedal cars.
    When I was a little older I tried to learn & it's very difficult. There is a real art to rolling metal like that. I managed to make some parts that looked like post crash aircraft parts. :)

    Incredible craftsmanship. The amount of skill involved in building this is very impressive.
    PS. I would have loved to see the footage of Jay climbing into/out of this car XD

    Gorgeous machines. I can imagine if you put a 200+hp engine in one the power to weight ratio would be insane

      7.5lbs/hp. Insane. That's good motorcycle territory.

    car guy here........I believe that there is beauty in almost all cars of every era and I put these cars with the great ones of the 50s and early 60's. Bravo.

    Beautiful work, I like how he makes it believable that a single guy can teach himself metal working and make a career for himself building cars in his shop.

    It's about as close as you can get to a postwar racer. In the late 40's, early 50's it was easier to get aluminum than steel in Europe, cars like these were handcrafted in sheds with tweaked engines like 2cv Dagonnet, Peugeot 402 and 203 Darl'mat, Renault Boudot twincam, Constantin Supercharged flat-twin Panhard, Alpine A106...
    It's an amazing job, although I'm not a big fan of KDF !

      Agreed! Post WWII in Europe you worked with what you were lucky enough to get your hands on. Same in Japan.

    Really enjoy watching this channel. Regarding the discussion on oil used, think Chris was trying to say to Jay that the grade of oil (thickness) specified in air cooled engines is also
    dependant on the climate the vehicle is been used, basically thinner oil in a cold climate and thicker for a hot climate.

      Yeah, exactly. Some air-cooled aviation engines like Aeroshell 100W for temperate climates, which I believe is equivalent to SAE50.
