There's something extremely attractive about a panel full of clecos :) And watching you "arm strong" that sheet over your knee is very evocative of the style of craftsmanship that was creating cars like this 60+ years ago. Thanks for sharing your work and wish you every success.
Watching you work quietly and create this art is priceless! Thank you for the creativity. Thank you for let us share the moment with you. I wish you all the best.
More than anything this video demonstrates the skill and patience needed to be able to perform this type of work creating the final product, today's society takes so much for granted that there are only a small percentage of "gear heads" that truly appreciate handmade products.
Truly inspiring! I'm going to do this someday. It's a life long dream to design and build my own car 100% on my own. My biggest problem is the time I spend during the inspection process lol. I have a real problem with nit picking every single last detail. I think I'd drive myself crazy trying to make it perfect. Quick unrelated question. How large is your shop? Is it insulated at all? I'm asking because I see your heater and I'm wondering if one of those would work for my shop. I'm in Central NY and so I suspect our climates are pretty similar.
Well there is alot of technology in a self taping screw you dont need drill bites you dont need clecos and they are cheap and you dont have to lightly hammer to keep the clecos snug..I havent touched my cleco set in years. But great to watch you at your craft.Thanks for sharing.
MindDezign: two years ago but I’m going to ask anyway. If he were to use self tapping screws, after it’s welded would you grind off the heads and then fill the holes? Seems like it’s adding a lot of extra work because the screws are made of steel and will be much harder to grind off than the aluminum rivets.
Greetings Chris - I am a mute so i really enjoyed your video for its humble simplicity. i am also a professional sculptor and i wish you would wear gloves while hand forming.

Beautiful Work !
awesome work man, I love the almost aircraft look your cars have.
Hey man. I honestly wish I could get someone like you to coach me. My dream is to build my own cars, like you
looks stunning , in its simple lines
Beautiful work Mr. Runge! Is that a Porsche based special? Thank you!
So, beautiful cars are possible to build then? I know it runs contrary to what Tesla produces, but style is important. Beautiful job!
What a craftsman, thank you for sharing this. I've never known about "combing" clecos, thanks for that tip. No drill stop for the drill?
Well done - I hope you build an empire
wow handmade, awesome, i love metal craft
Awesome video. Keep it coming.

Minute 7:55. What is that machine? What is the name? Thanks!
That's a hand operated shrinker. It is a pretty inexpensive tool used for basic shrinking. They also make a stretcher that operates in the same way.
thanks for answering.
