You're doing a great job of minimizing the visual heaviness of the shoebox. Making an sleek athlete from a fatso while looking classic! Great stuff, Nick
This was supposed to be a pretty straight forward 'chassis' swap and chop... then as we moved along the car started talking to us and we encountered a little thing called scope creep. Thanks for your support!
You are an Artist, a Sculptor, and a. an extremely skilled craftsman. That is one damned good looking 51 How I wish I could be 65 years younger, and Apprentice under you.
As a older man I can understand forgetting stuff. I wish there would have been RUclips and people like you when I was younger. I would have saved my self a lot of time money and head aches
Nick, the wheel arch is the perfect shape to my eye. Love the swept back shape on the rear of the front wheel arch .... really adds a degree of visual motion. 👍👍😎👍👍
It sure is Dan! I see you're familiar with prototyping parts! One thing to copy an existing panel, whole other thing to create from scratch. Thanks for watching
We try to show that customizing a car is not out of reach for those who want to play and don't have the latest tool. A guy can accomplish a lot with simple tools or by making their own tools. Thanks for watching! 👍
Nice work on those openings. I saw them finished in the last video when Vic was working on the hinges and was hoping you would show more ... looks much better than stock. Stock looked a little pinched with the new wheels in earlier episodes. Carry on! Looking better with every week.
The arches look great ... back in the day I cut the perfect wheel wells out on my '55 chevy gasser style ( idiot) ... now I'm planning on putting Nomad arches back in but they don't make the small panels any more so a video on making arches would be ideal ... I know I rib you a lot but I think you guys are one of the premier metal workers on the net ... lookin forward to more content ...
What? You've been ribbing me!?... no wonder the short ribs have been tender lately lol!! I like to keep things light... some guys take things way too seriously. I've got your arch video idea noted. Once things calm down a bit I'll see what I can do. Thanks a lot for watching my weekly shenanigans :D
I built that tipping wheel, same as the reciprocating hammer and pneumatic planishing hammer from stuff laying around the shop. Unfortunately, they were all done before we started this channel. Next time I need a tool and decide to build it I may do a RUclips video if there's enough interest. I may also go over the ones already built and give an overview. Thanks for watching Ira.
Always. Yes please on the tool videos. I know you’re busy but I bit I’m not the only one who would like to see that video. Thanks for the content and the reply. Much appreciated.
Nice!!! Lots of good tips here. I've been wondering about your tipping wheel. I figured the wheels were skate wheels. How did you make the upper die? I can see where the tipping wheel works where a bead roller would not.
For the longest time I used 1/2 of an adjustable cast iron sheave(you can see that in the Custom '40 Ford videos). Eventually it started chipping so I turned a new upper using some tool steel the on the lathe. Thanks for watching!
@@iNVisionPrototypes I just recently started watching, so I need to finish the series on the 40. I have watched a fair few of them. Looking forward to the next installment!!!
I just found your channel & I like it! As for me the wheel opening looks good, however, the back side (Closer to the door) of the opening looks tighter that the tire than the front side. If that was the intent, then you succeeded.
Thank for the SUB Bobdabuilder! Camera is set back at an angle in a clear area of the shop making the back side of the opening appear tighter. Didn't think of it at the time but should have moved some stuff around and repositioned the camera to show the opening directly from the side. I'll try to remember next time.
Nice work Nick its good to see quality workmanship and process's explained on a build
Thanks for watching!

I thought you weren't going to upload today. You, sir, have made my day better. Thanks
I do my best to get a video up every Friday evening. Thanks for watching Dwayne. 👍
It's coming along great! Can't wait for the next video
Thanks!!
Nick, the wheel arch is the perfect shape to my eye. Love the swept back shape on the rear of the front wheel arch .... really adds a degree of visual motion. 👍👍😎👍👍
I like the way you put that! 'visual motion' Thanks Joel!
Great fun Nick. Every step is a "probably won't fit now" step. But, that's just part of the fun.
It sure is Dan! I see you're familiar with prototyping parts! One thing to copy an existing panel, whole other thing to create from scratch. Thanks for watching
Yes. The arch is looking perfect 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Lance!
Hi Nick, those wheelarches are perfect. This ford is going to be slick. You are a very talented fabricator. I look forward to your next video
Thanks for watching Jacques!!
With all the insane cool tools now available, it's still pretty amazing what you can do with just a hammer and dolly.
Great video

Thanks Clinton!
Great content, as always. Thank you for showing us not only what and how you’re doing things but also why. Did you make or buy your tipping wheel?

Thank you Ed!
Hi. Nick does this mean that your “shoe box” has fallen arches ??
Haha!! That's a good one John! :D Thanks for watching.

Flatten the top of the opening to match the flatness of the top of the fender.
We'll stand back and have a look at that! Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Don't throw that piece u cut out maybe you can make it a wide body
You never know!!
I think you lost the Ford purists a long time ago with this one.
Probably true!
The Car looks great. Better than Fords creation
👍
Looking good
Thanks Joe!
