- Welcome back to this fun project! In episode 5 of the Mad Max Pursuit Special / Interceptor build series here, we are at the last section of metalwork before we move on. Watch as the craftsmen at Mad Max Cars continue the process of building a fully restored Australian Ford Falcon XB and converting it into a Mad Max Pursuit Special / Interceptor replica. In this episode we conclude the extensive metalwork, repairing rust, dents and collision damage, to bring the body shell back to top condition. Feel free to follow this channel until the car comes out the other side as a fully built Mad Max Movie Car Replica and ultimately gets delivered to the owner.

Great Site I am almost 60 years old I live in Australia a Falcon Bloke all the way, even when the Coupes were new there was not a lot on the road they were not big sellers and any GT Falcons were even rarer, lots off V8 Falcons, over the years cars in Australia up till the late 80’s were rust buckets around 89 they must have changed the way or the type off metal they were using EA Model Falcons and VN Commodores on rust slowed right down, I have had about 5 XB Falcons I have a XB GT four door have had it for 22 years great old Car it is Snow White only 37 made in that colour same Colour White as the XC Cobra Coupes it is actually a XC Colour My XB was built in May off 1976 second last month off production off the XB GT Falcons only 1950 four Doors from 73 to June off 1976 were Made, lots crashed and a lot just were not looked after they were not valued like a XW or a XY GT and not at all valued like a GT HO that is enough from Me enjoy Your site keep up the great work Mick Australia.
So very cool! Thank you for sharing. We always love to hear from our Aussie brothers and fellow gear heads! Sounds like you have quite a stable of amazing cars! We will keep at it here. Keep those Falcons going and keep the shiny side up!
Its been to long between drinks, good to see another episode of the build of this iconic Aussie car. We down here really appreciate your dedication to this Australian legend. Even Cundalini would find a way to give you a round of applause....
LOL! Yes, thank you for the amazing appreciation! It does take a long time to cut down weeks of footage to a reasonable length video, plus it takes a significant time to film the footage to begin with. We will try to get the vids out sooner. SUPER glad you enjoyed it!
...it just happened man.... ya know... a pppiece from here n a pppiece from there...
@@MadMaxCars Remember repairing an old MK2 Ford Escort and it it was a rot box... the main repairs I did was trunk floor, driver - passenger floors front to rear both sides sills inner outer some inner wings sections.... But the fun fact the parts was not available for a few weeks(in a working garage needs be sort asap) so i used the side panels and roof skin off a scrap high roof Transit to create new panels the car stayed on the road for 18 years after that major repair... I used the same idea for other cars got a scrap van for peanuts and used the good steel as repair panels :)
@@kylereese4822 Thats some awesome skills there! I have seen guys use washing machine and refrigerator panels as long as the steel was good and the gauge is correct. We generally use clean new metal here, but use what works well for you. Very cool. Thank you for watching and sharing the cool memories!
@@MadMaxCars I was about 17 when I did that type of repair work and to this day I miss doing that work, Currently looking at doing a rebuild of a Tesla Model 3 from sections from salvage cars... :)
looks like I’m first…YAAAAY !!! nice work guys!!!
🏎💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
Oooh FIRST! Cool!!! Thanks very much for watching and for the kind words!
Incredible the craftsmanship and patience Brice has working the metal. Truly artwork!
Thank you for the kind words. We truly appreciate you watching and making such a cool comment!

It's always great when a new video comes up!
A recomendation: I know that it's not a popular car from the franchise, but you could start building the Nightrider's Pursuit Special from the first movie. It was built with a 1972 Holden HQ Monaro, and it's far less intricate to build than the Interceptor.
And this is just a personal wish, but in the near future you could branch out and start building other classic movies/series' cars, like K.I.T.T., General Lee, the A-Team van, Herbie, the Ghostbusters Cadi, etc, etc.
Cheers from Argentina, guys!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comments! We do actually build everything you have mentioned. We have build quite a few of the more obscure cars from the Mad Max franchise. Such things as the Red XA Bat, Humungus Machine and Pink DeSoto from Mad Max 2/The Roadwarror, etc. We have not had a client request the Nightriders ill gotten HQ Monaro, but we would be glad to build one. If you would like us to build one for you, please contact the guys at www.madmaxcars.com and we will gladly document the build in videos! You will also see videos on our channel for building the Greased Lightning from Grease, restoring a screen used KITT from Nightrider among others. We do build just about ANY movie and tv starker a client could want. So the good news is you get your wish, we actually already do all of those!
@@MadMaxCars I did't know that. Scratch everything I wrote, then! 😂
I think I've never checked the website before, so I'm gonna take a gander there!
Cheers!
@@Lucas_Tulic Please feel free! Lots to see there. Also a lot of them are on our youtube channel. For example you can find the Humungus Machine, and the Greased lightning (with guest appearances from the Red XA Bat and Pink DeSoto) here: ruclips.net/video/AOAefYYs5zk/видео.html
Great job guys, I owned one of these in the late 80s and it was full of rust back than, I am amazed any made it through too now.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah a lot of these are truly hard luck cases as you can see. We are here to help them live like new again!
Cracking work lads. Regards from Northumberland England.👍
Thank you! Regards from Seattle!!
Missing you guys, hope you are all doing good! Looking forward to updates! Great work!!!
We are doing well, thank you! Hope all is well there also. We have just started doing shorts to fill in between the longer episodes which take forever to shoot, edit and publish. Take care!!
Has there been any interest in building the Razor Cola iteration of the Interceptor?
We have had several Razor Cola inquiries but nobody starting a build yet. However we did take part in build of a Fury Road Interceptor that was finished BEFORE the film came out. Here is a video of us with the car at the Pre-Screening of Fury Road in Seattle..... ruclips.net/video/qWJ0AXOJndY/видео.html
You can also find a reveal video of the car on our channel.
I can’t believe your don’t this to theses great looking cars stock the Xb get hardtop is on of my collection list cars but at about $200000 plus for a nice one I think I’ll buy other cars before one of them
We restore more stock configuration XA XB & XC Falcons than build Mad Max replicas actually. We would be glad to help you get a XB Hardtop if you would like one. We have been importing these cars into the USA since the late 1990's
Excellent build, looking forward to more
Thank you! We will keep them coming!
Fun project. So much work in rust repair and also the fun mods.
Time for a reasonable Mic?
Glad you liked it. Yes a decent mic would be a good plan. We will try to get to that soon.
Cheers!!! Kuul stuff 🇫🇮
Awesome! Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@MadMaxCars I was barely a teen when Mad Max movies came out , left an life lasting impression, and the cars .... oh !!!!
@@mhh7544 Same story for most of the guys who work here. Its sure left an lasting impression for us... just look at what we do with out time! We do love those cars!!
awesome work gang 😁💯💯💯💯💯💯👌👌👌👌👌👌🏍🏍🏍
Thank you!
Pull big money out here in Australia any hard top $40k for just a basic rusted out pice of crap unbelievable $200000 for a xaxb gt hardtop
Quite true. The cars we use to build the Mad Max replicas are usually the truly the hard luck cases like the one..... ruclips.net/video/S-beKLB9Ti8/видео.html
Most of the cars that come here get a more traditional restoration such as this one...... ruclips.net/video/WRvxIWd-l2E/видео.html
@@MadMaxCars good luck in finding them as they as getting harder to find every year
@@dawso2o2 e have actually had great luck finding them. Prices have skyrocketed though.
Wish people knew how long it takes to build and fit a custom part. Most of the time you have to do these custom fab jobs because parts are not readily available over here. Some of those small panels are best done this way even though every now and then I get a chance to import a repo part but a lot of the time it comes with a higher expense than you calculated.
Absolutely true. We generally find that any part that is available pre-made will be a decent savings over making it by hand. Often a hour or two of fab time is more than it costs to get a part here. Still there is so much not available it is inevitable we will have to hand make some bits before the job is done.
I loved that switchable supercharger! He had a switch that engaged a clutch for the supercharger belt to engage. That way he saved that precious fuel for when he needed it most!!
I wonder what kind of fuel management they used to handle that switch from NA to boosted!!!
@@kevintucker3354 Though it is technically possible to have the on/off blower function on a car, they used "Movie Magic" in the film. We build cars both with a "prop" on/off blower or a functional one depending on what the client wants.
I would like to know what fight with put on the V8 interceptor with functional supercharger? I am seriously looking to purchase one.
For build details and project costs you will want to contact the guys at the shop directly. Yo can reach them through www.madmaxcars.com
You guys need to collab with the people who built the cars for fury road and also work on mad max 5 if it will happen
We would be glad to. One of our good mates build several cars for Fury Road. If WB calls we will come running. You may see on our channel we were sourced to come out to the pre screenings of Fury Road by WB to bring cars out to display for those events in the Seattle area.
As bad as this sounds im glad ford america didnt keep going with the falcon something tells me they would have screwed it up or binned it because theres been some of the best cars come from australia
Australia sure did an AMAZING job when they started building their own unique Falcons!
Been a sub for a while and keep forgetting about you because you don't publish that often, bout ready to give up ,love what content you do bring ,definitely need more and more reliable
Thank you for being a subscriber to our channel first and foremost!! Truly glad you enjoy our channel. We will try to get more content out and more often. Considering adding more shorter format videos to make that possible. Longer installments such as this one take so much time to film, edit and get out that its difficult to put that type out much more often. Would you as a subscriber enjoy that?
@@MadMaxCars if you could please share more of the drive train build with the machine work, you know like cam spec, stroke, head work, etc. Would go a long way to us motor head with understanding the max trilogy
@@leonardwalters154 We absolutely will!! The mechanical section will probably follow the fiberglass section. Keep your eye on this space and we will have it up eventually.
I dunno what you're paying this guy doing all the sheet work, but you should double it!
We are VERY fortunate to have such AMAZING craftspeople here!
Yes! I love this V8 Interceptor! In my opinion, I want to name the Interceptor Princess Diana. Princess Diana is the one with a 08, a British flag on top of the car roof, and a Coat of Arms of U.K.! Also it has a fuel-injected nitro as well.
You Brits can stick with your boy racer front wheel drive 4 cylinder toys and don't try to destroy an AUSTRALIAN masterpiece of automotive engineering. We convicts know how to build real car. Your ideas are insanely ridiculous. Brits would cr*p themselves in a Ford Falcon V8....
That sounds like a fun project! If you would like one built feel free to contact the guys at www.madmaxcars.com
@@MadMaxCars okay, I got the website. But *not* the wasteland Interceptor, a good & clean interceptor.
@@jonathanmyers2867 We build all versions of the interceptor, as well as other vehicles from the Mad Max film and just about any Movie & TV Star Car you might want. We also restore other classic cars in a more traditional way.
“The last of the V8s!”
Absolutely!!
Gosto muito do trabalho de vcs, super fã parabéns meu brother 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Muito obrigado por assistir, e bd por suas amáveis palavras. Ficamos muito felizes que tenha gostado do vídeo.
hey dee .... its gone very quiet ... no more updates for us ?
I am guessing you may have not seen the "shorts" we have put up semi recently? Things have been crazy busy, so we have not had a chance to get any longer form videos out for a little while. Some coming soon. I will tell Dee to get on it!
Does anyone know if that roof spoiler would fit a 73 Mach 1?
People often use our parts for "Tribute" cars built out of Non XB Falcon donor cars such as Mustangs, Torinos, AMXs, etc. If you want more specific details please contact the guys at www.madmaxcars.com
@@MadMaxCars okay...thanks
Nice work. 👍
Thank you!
hey are you all looking for a pink desoto like the one in mad max 2/the road warrior? theres one sitting in a salvage yard in oklahoma. i believe its complete? it has surface rust? dont you all have one? i think in a vid i saw maybe your channel yall said there was like only 8 or a handful ever built or something? starts at 1:38:18 and ends at 1:38:47 ruclips.net/video/l7xvThU_tdU/видео.html would love to see yall restore or at the very least someone. ive never seen one except mad max 2/the road warrior and yalls? hope this helps :D hugs love and bee safe :D
Like the one in this video? ruclips.net/video/AOAefYYs5zk/видео.html
And this video: ruclips.net/video/P4kpC5qHcpo/видео.html ? Hopefully these videos will give you a smile to see it!
Don't think I've seen either one of those or I'm pretty sure I would have commented on them. I myself have PKD and I've been on dialysis three times now and have had 2 transplants. First transplant I was not taking my meds properly because I was still in my teens and I lost. The second transplant lasted almost 10 years but with my mom passing away I lost it due to the stress of her passing away. I've been on dialysis now since 2018 I think and it's been rough trying to get a transplant because while I had my second transplant I gained a lot of weight but I'm very very close to getting on the transplant list and getting a kidney. I hope your transplant is going well and I hope you got the transplant and are not on back on dialysis like I am. I am thankful that there is alternatives out there for kidney patients. Hugs love and be safe out there mad Max team you all are great!
@@Brandewey Thank you for the kind words and sharing your story. Dee is doing well 5 years post transplant right now. All the best wishes from us here at MMC for getting your new transplant in and it doing you well for a long time to come!
When is another ephisode?
Currently filming and editing the next episode, on the fiberglass processes, and it will be up as soon as we can complete it. Each segment of this series takes a lot of effort, as we generally have to film then edit down 8-20 hours of footage.
Madness!
The madness of max! For sure!
Whatever happened to the Rambler?
While that is a totally different video (which is still up on our channel), I am glad to answer here. It found a new forever home shortly after the video went up on RUclips. It is currently being enjoyed and further restored by the new owner.
@@MadMaxCars sorry for asking about the car on this video instead of the other one, though this one totally rocks. I just recently purchased a 66 rambler american and I am trying to get as many ideas to spruce it up and make it even cooler than before. Thanks for the reply!!!
@@antiqueshistoryandconspira3791 Thank you for the kind words! Wishing you the best of luck with your 66. We heard all sorts of advice with the one we had. Ranging from "keep it stock", to "turn it into a gasser". Its all about what direction you want to take it.
She,s a big job .
True! Coming along nicely though.
@@MadMaxCars i trying to make myself feel better a gave my Coupe away for free about 20 years ago it was rusty but not as bad as that one you have & could not afford to repair it i wanted to started it but my panel beater mate left town & left me with my coupe all cut up & in bare metal i could afford to fix it ,they are seriously rare & valuable now even were back then my was a xa falcon coupe with a xb gt front on it i like the xa rear tail lights better ,my mate who i gave it to never fixed it & just recently sold the body shell here in NZ & got 30k for it ,dam i beat myself up about it all the time .i love falcon coupes .
@@jonsmith6982 I am sorry to hear that. I think all of our guys totally get how it feels as one and all have let a car go that is now worth way too much $$$. We are just crazy enough these days to fix just about any one of these amazing Falcons. We even have a show on our channel called "No Falcon Left Behind" in which we fix cars that were literally on the way to the tip. Here is the first episode of the first season. Hope this makes you feel a little better and not worse... ruclips.net/video/S-beKLB9Ti8/видео.html
How much does it cost to buy one?
Total cost for a build varies depending on many factors. Most of which are choices the client makes as to how they want the car built, as every build we do is a custom project planned out with the client. If you would like details, please feel free to contact the team at www.madmaxcars.com

Not sure what that means.
Great series of videos. Love the cars and the movies. Great work. Could do with a little less PMSy attitude from the non male apprentice.
We are truly glad you enjoyed the series so far, and thank you for the kudos. Stay tuned for more. The "attitude" was definitely included for laughs, hope you at least got a giggle out of that.
