Can't wait for the next video! I think a ton of people with a variety of different projects will be interested in learning how to use/capture can bus messages
Very interesting work. Thank you Dan. The technique for "extending" the door was really smart. I was rather expecting to see a layer of gelcoat before the "peanut butter was applied" and I wondered whether some fine matt could have been added to stiffen the edge.
I was waiting for the Doh!! When a big blob of glue fell on the dash. Fortunately that didn’t happen 😀👍 I believe that a paint brush dipped in wax and grease remover can be used to smooth the windshield glue. Tip Ordinary packing tape is good for masking off resin as it won’t stick.
YESSSSSSS! I love it when I get another Ultima video! Tavarish's P1 videos and this are probably my favorite builds on RUclips! And if I'm totally honest, I think I like this more! Awesome work Dan!
Thanks for your kind words. If you noticed, I’ve never once asked anyone to click ‘subscribe’ or notification bell in any of my videos. I believe if you’re truly interested in my content, you already know what to do. Anyway, I have fun sharing my experiences and simply want to give back to the same community for which I’ve learned so much. I hope I can inspire others to do their own projects, no matter how small or large, because it is so rewarding.
Great work! 3 questions...1) Did you need to use rubber height setting blocks to make the windshield flush with the body? 2) Did you end up needing 2 tubes of adhesive? 3) Did you use the same primer & adhesive for headlight covers? Almost there!!
1) Nope-fit level without blocks 2) one tube was it with about 5% leftover. 3) I have not done the headlights yet but I’m planning on using the same stuff.
Dan Happy New Year, after 49 Episodes what I have taken away is these are NOT that easy to build, but worth all the effort nonetheless. I use West System a lot, I have nothing but grief with RivNuts. Because of you, I am using the same material on my ElCamino dash pad as you used on your build. I thought along with another contributor that you were “adventurous “ not protecting your dash. Can’t wait to see you tooling down the roads in New England next summer.
Hi Dan, been watching for a while and very interested to see you figure out the software interfaces - quite a challenge! Looking forward to your CAN video. Keep up the great work.
Yes sir! I’ve had lots of similar requests and interest. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned to share with the community. And without ruining the anticipation of the next video too much, I’ve had some success so the payoff will be there. 👍
Beautiful work as always. I love the idea of the tutorial. Could even make that a whole sperate sub channel for all types of things/ skill lvls. Less vid editing, rainy day bored vids for you. Id sub to that for sure.
Ah yes, great question. It’s JB Weld quick epoxy. I like to line the holes with it before installing rivnuts in fiberglass to prevent the rivnuts from breaking loose over time. It’s cheap insurance to lock the rivnuts in place permanently.

Loving the attention to detail! Soundtrack on this video was pretty bad ass too! 💪🏼

Excited to geek out on can-bus. Appreciate you doing this for the community!
The ambition, persistence and passion really shows Dan. This car is really coming together. Looking forward to next time!

Oh God, I didn’t even consider the potential dash situation! That would have been disastrous. 😱
Damn! Good job on keeping it tidy! 👌🏻
Impressive as always.
Looking great, Dan!
My fav car on You Tube, the quality of your work is outstanding.
Thank you Peter! 🙏
Remember for alignment marks, use two parallel lines takes out misalignment from viewing angle changes 👍

I’m humbled. I take so much of my video inspiration from Freddy. Thanks for your kind words!
You’re a legend, keep it up.
Hello Dan!
you have a great channel can't understand that there aren't more followers because you deserve it.

Looking great Dan in some respects it will be sad when it's finished have a great New Year to you and yours Kind Regards from Liverpool England
Been here since the beginning can’t wait for you to finally drive her 🙏🏼
Thank you for being one of my OG followers! 🙏
Can't wait to see this car on the track, well... hope you're planning to do so eventually. :)
For sure. I need to learn the limits of this beast and no better place than on a closed circuit. 👍
Awesome work again… you are great at taking on and learning new skills, well done. Fear stops most over competence
You speak wisdom. It took me 20 years to figure this out. Once you get over the fear of failing, it really opens up all kinds of possibilities.

In hindsight I should have definitely covered the dash for insurance. But thankfully I got away with it. 😇
Always excited to see your updates Dan! Car is looks amazing! Keep up the great work! From a fellow New Hampshire resident
Thanks for your comments! 603 forever. 💪
Happy New Year man ! Marvellous car , great work again. Will drive and sound amazing when your done.
Happy New Year! 🎆

That's a great idea. 👍
What camera do you use for recording and what software do you use to edit the videos
I use combination of my iPhone and Sony ZV-1 camera. I produce/edit the videos using DaVinci Resolve. 👍
Curious, what is that you’re applying in the rivnut holes and what’s the purpose?
Ah yes, great question. It’s JB Weld quick epoxy. I like to line the holes with it before installing rivnuts in fiberglass to prevent the rivnuts from breaking loose over time. It’s cheap insurance to lock the rivnuts in place permanently.
