Part 43: Tucking, Shaving & Smoothing (The Front Bumper) Part 1 - My 76 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2017
- In part 43 of my '76 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo restoration, I begin the process of doing something about those horrible '70s "safety" bumpers. It was a dark age from 1973 to 1982 when the US federal government mandated that bumpers must sustain a 5MPH collision without damage. The result being atrocious protrusions at the front and back of a vehicle sticking out 6" on pneumatic shock absorbers. While most of the rest of the world got sleek, stylish bumpers which actually enhanced the body lines. The solution of course is the old hot rodders trick of tucking, shaving and smoothing the bumpers to better flow with the rest of the car. So unlike last time with all that delicate electronic work, this time it's all cutting, welding and pounding metal.

I literally had to look twice, and i still didn't believe it! Welcome back buddy!
welcome back aaron!!
Only twice??? I did a quadruple take!!! I can't tell you how many times I have checked his channel to see if I missed a vid in my in-feed! I haven't even watched the vid yet... that's how stoked I am.
I think this and Binki are the best projects on youtube at the moment.
pdgeman totally same opinion here!
bad obsession motorsports 'project binky' check it out, you'll love it. same feel as the aaroncake vids :P
I'm so happy i saw this in my feed.After hearing Aaron and all the shit he went through, it sounded a bit like my life.It's like seeing an old friend.God damn it welcome back!!!!
Woho you are back!
The stars have aligned!!!
Instant smile on my face once I saw this video.
Maybe, just maybe a Cosmo episode and a Project Binky in the same week. BTW Aaron, nice to see you back on my screen.
A Binky update would be awesome! We can only hope.
I saw where they announced it will be the 13th. Next Friday. Can't wait!
An episode for both? I'd have to watch them both 40 times to "even things out"
Episode 16 of Binky was posted yesterday afternoon. Got the notification while I was in the shop using the mill for the first time.
Yes Aaron, me too. Watched it yesterday. That heater box is a work of art and 8 hours for a ps pump bracket gives an illustration of what this project is all about. And a familiar face makes a guest appearance...
Hello Aaroncack very happy to see you again... please don't be late for part two ... waiting you and wishing you all the best
Part 2 won't be far from now as I already have a lot of the work done.
Glad your back. Thank you for taking the time to make a video for us!
I don't think I ever clicked on a video so quick in my life. Love your videos man you are an inspiration to the car community!!!
I can't decide wheter my respect for you outweighs the envy I have of your skills. My hero. It's good to see you back on youtube!
Good to see you back on your feet Aaron.

I love it, " from a sticky-out perspective". Now that is my kind of tech talk.
Highly technical engineering language, for sure.
Good to see you back Aaron. Greetings from France :)
Been following this damn build for 10 years now. Hopefully the videos start flowing in like men in a Jennifer Anniston orgy advertisement. I'm more than ready to see this thing finished.
I missed your build and your jokes, after you said holy long screw I knew there was a joke coming and you delivered!
