Some of the lines didn’t make total sense to me until the camera showed the 3d view later in the video. Then it made a lot more sense. Looking good.
This series is the coolest build I've ever seen, don't change a thing.
Agreed. Project Binky was great, but never ended, just petered out. I'm excited to see this take shape.
Now seeing the fender build adds or takes away the mystery of how this is coming together. thanks for explaining the process.
👍👍
IMO, the fastback would be more appealing but hey, what do I know 😆. Many thanx Wray.
You bet
Give Charlie a grinder with a cut off wheel.
Wow it is really coming together visually. I was almost imagining a cam tail like 275gtb/250gto but I can't see the rendering closely.
One vote for the Coupe! I may be alone, but I never cared for a fastback. Exciting to see it taking shape. Thank you for all you do to teach all of us.
Amazing to see this wonderful shape appear before our eyes. In fits and starts, but always confident.
I'm waiting for the rear fenders to start bulging out some more. Especially, if the bulge starts right behind the door. Will this build series reach 100 episodes? I don't mind even if it reaches 200! Keep up the good work! 🤩
I expect at least 200 episodes. I will video the frame building, the rebuilding of the drivetrain, and the making of the complete interior. I will cross the bridge about the windshield when I get there. The rear fender will be addressed soon.
This car reminds me of the Alfa 6c disco volante of the 1960s
I'm watching every episode.
You are my hero!
Taking shape nicely. I'm stuck on the fast back but either way it's gonna look great!
FASTBACK! Like a 250 GTO. The notch back design puts the car in the 50’s not the 60’s like the AI design. With that design you might as well use the narrow XK120 wheels.
It looks like a stick car. What an amazing project.
Glad you like it!
I figured you could build 1/2 of the body and then use the flexible shape pattern method for the mirrored side. But I can see the need to homogenize the shapes down the centerline.
Could you finish the rear roof line fast back, then inset the rear window to be more vertical, it would have a fast back look, but might give you some trunk space, Great project.
Hey Wray, why don’t you guys slice the model athwartship and use the patterns to create with bulkheads for a station buck.
Now there is an idea!
I am sure you will come to it at some point, but I think your driver figure may need a slight recline as that will also lower the head and allow a slightly lower roof line to compliment all the other lines you are lowering as well…imho.
Exactly my thoughts. Mr. Adjustable is far too upright.
Hi Frank!
Hi Wray, great progress. Just a thought, from a distance I saw this, what about lowering the rear of the bonnet line to match in more with the bottom of the side window outline. That would give continuity of line and make it flow. Just a thought.
I'll take any and all ideas, I'm hoping to make this a semi group project with the viewers.
thank you i have learned alot from all your videos
This continues to be a great journey. I’m still not sold on that front fender line between the front wheel and the A-pillar. It seems a tad too humped up, but it’s fun seeing how little tweaks pull things together.
Glad that we’re back to fastback, but I was actually starting to warm up to the fixed-head coupe look. Onward and upward!
Wray. I know its AI but getting Austin Healey vibes from the centerline profile. I've done car body work in CAD and had posted various models but removed most of the stuff off the 'net. I understand exactly what you are doing with the wire-forming in terms of 3D but have never done it myself so this is of huge interest to me on what it takes to actually bend wire. All good stuff.
There is definitely more tweaking that needs to be done. We will definitely have more information as we add the secondary wires.
That AI picture is really close to an actual car. I saw some pictures of it the other day, and thought: "That is Ray's Ai project". Can't remember where though.
@@MichaelMoss-tv8uu That was really similar too, but I think there was another car I saw..
A Kamm-back flat tail might give more useful space than a rounded tàil. (Not the whole roofline, just the pàrt below the bottom of the rear window.)
nooo! go with fastback ! :)
Mark Agrees
Wray, great second look at you and team work.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing. Great work. Every detail is valuable.
Cool 😎
Speaki,g of packaging everyting, the XK120-150 has a neat way to package the gas tank and spare tire.
I brought that up to Wray, it's something he is thinking about. He never listens to me but since you said he'll probably do it.
Terrific! Hooked on this series. Thanks to you Wray and all the team helping you. Huge respect fellas!
Nice eyeballing!
Wray's calls it his Eyecrometer
Thanks, really cool
Can't wait till next episode.
Thanks for watching!
This is fascinating! When I win the lottery, I’m going to split my time between doing something just like this, drinking a lot of beer and “entertaining” extremely beautiful women who are only interested in me because of my money.
I'm spending my lottery winnings on Scotch, if I have enough left over then I'll go for the beautiful women.
I’m loving this series. Pure artistry!
Speaking of details, the fuel filler may be a constraint due to its need to be at a certain height for the venting and/or vapor recovery to operate. Also they had a rollover protection plumbing loop that prevented the tank from emptying if inverted. I used to like the Ferrari GTB flip top fuel filler but I notice mostly folks want to lock access to the tank. Maybe consider adapting and re- use the flip door and cap and neck from your donor Alfa model?
This is the type of comment I'm looking for. This is something we will seriously consider! Thank you!
@@proshaper Thinking further about this, I realized that the example I had in mind, 1970 C10 Pickup - the fuel pump is on the engine block, and the high loop for the supply line went up in the interior body space up about even with or above the shoulder seat belt attachment. But modern cars have the fuel pump inside the fuel tank, so a completely different way to plumb. I do know for California Smog checks it is one of the things they look at - Vapor recovery and venting. The rollover thing is just a check valve I think. Maybe the entire fuel supply and fill and vapor control system from the donor is the easiest path.
There is (at least in Sweden) self adjustable clamps wich are great but a bit more expensive.
Looks there may be enough room for a spare tyre out front of the motor?
just a thought...recline Mr. Adjustable a bit more reclined and set a bit lower to get closer to the profile of the pic mho
I am loving this build... looking fab as the wire form evolves.
looks good.
Wray Corvette STOPPED putting spare tires in cars in 1996...28 years ago... no need to add a spare
The car's appearance suggests the late 1950,'s, so a spare tyre would be there. The D-type Jaguar had one.
fast back please Wray :)
This is great project! I think You can lower engine 2 inch or even 3. This kind of a car dont need so much ground clearance.
I'm a little paranoid with all the potholes in this state. Some of them can be turned into swimming pools.
Yep. Same here in Finland... Maybe build some shielding under oil pan?
Why doesn’t AI allow for multiple view angles?
AI technology currently does not understand true 3D, it finds a picture based on your text prompts, then creates ideas and details based on thousands of other pictures. Its amazing what it can produce and make it look real. None of the original images used for learning are used in what it generates. AI understand photograph depth, only in the terms what is in front of what. Mid Journey sometimes will generate additional views but rarely of the same car design.
Very cool,I would try to cover everything with wiremesh that can be hardened. with some plastics for more acurate work,what do you think?
Nope, keep watching.
Ok you are doing good
Hi Wray, would it be possible for you to add a dry sump oil system to the GTV engine? This would save you some inches of height of the hood. Maybe you could lower the driver, windshield etc as well. Just a thought...
are you going to use an existing windshield and rear window and how does that effect your design
We haven't reached that point, we have a small list of possibilities as it would be easier to use an existing windshield.
Ahhh, the photo is definitely a fastback, and looked nicer before you made it a coupe…. 🙁
I haven't made my mind up yet.
Bonnet line where it meets the bottom of the windshield looks too high to me in relation to the wing(fender) plus the driver has terrible forward vision, zero visiblilty over the nose of the bodywork
Not finished yet.
MGA, 275 GTB, 250 GTO all had 94" wheelbase. E-Type was "long" at 96 inches. Stretching this to 100" befuddles me, so I'm curious to see how it all works out.
Can you give us an image or vid of the car from the front looking down the side of the car.. The wire frame is shaping up nicely Im trying to figure out are you connecting wire frame to the existing rocker panel line or are you going to re-establish a secondary or outer rocker panel line {A frame pillar} Thanks again !
There is a wire representing the 5" ground clearance. The rocker wires are not there yet.
@@proshaper Hi and thank you for answering my request, I'm always telling my friends about your acknowledgments to the viewers comments. Thanks again !
@@proshaper 👍
Where is Charlie from in Michigan
I'm afraid I'll get left hanging on this one. PLEASE NO!
The wire form will definitely get finished, we won't leave you hanging.
