Dude you need to turn this series into as many videos as possible. You're clearly doing such a brilliant job that I'd love to see you make as much ad revenue as possible from it! I'm so grateful to all your patreons for helping you to do this sort of thing.
@adamkubacki1958 why would uploading more of the process compromise the product? It would just mean that instead of a time-lapse of things being taken apart, we get more detail and he gets more ad revenue.
Don't forget: the most important step before putting your chassis on the rotisserie is making sure it's been properly brined. You don't want your Datsun to be dry and chewy, you want it to retain moisture and flavor when you cook it!
@@ArKritz84 Manually basting it with paint stripper is cheaper and more labour intensive but can give just as good results if done with diligence and care.
having said that, an old friend of mine used to do all of the local hog roasts. he did one for a jewish wedding and roasted a lamb, without thinking he basted it with the lard from the previous hog roast. they said it was the best lamb they ever had.
I have been watching your restorations since you first got on YT. I already know with your skills and attention to detail that this will be the nicest restored 240Z on planet earth.
Yes. Removing all the sharp edges is the most important thing in restoration. It symbolizes high quality and precision. Any restored object that still has sharp edges is worthless to me. I am such a perfectionist 🤦♂️
The first time I see someone really explaining certain elements from a car restauration that are elemental in a captive and understandable way. 😮 thank you!
I think the reason the rear supports hang down a little but the front ones don't is the position and orientation of the bolts holding the supports to the bumper mounting points. At the front the bolt positions are longitudinal with the direction of the mounting arm, with the bolts themselves being perpendicular to the direction of the mounting arm. At the rear its the other way round.
@@mymechanicsinsights At the front, the second bolt prevents rotation around the fulcrum that is the other one. At the rear, you're entirely dependent on the tightness of the bolts.
That and most of the weight is also in the back and just as you said, the bolts can't hold as much because it's a much smaller and weaker mounting point.
I agree. also, the compliance of every junction is adding up back there. the smallest amount of flex in the bumper/mount mating surface on the rear would translate into sag along the mount's length whereas if the front mating surface flexed the same way it would only produce twist in the mount so it stays straight.
I disagree! (yeah, it's the Internet, after all. so, it also always needs one of those types or your bill would go up by mandate 😁) while I think to understand what y'all talking about, I still disagree with this (quick) analysis. for the following reasons: you need to see everything in context working together! for instance, the front needs two bolts when you powerlift it like a forklift on steroids, or something. meaning, no support at the back! but as soon as you hold the chassis on its back, one single bolt would be plenty (as a matter of fact: better, even. to allow to relive tensions and have it settle evenly.) hey, dear my mechanic! can you try to remove one of those to bolts on both sides and see whether you end up with a better situation? and the very same goes for the back. you only need two mounting points when you wanna lift it up with zero front support. realistically speaking, it'll just twist and bend in this case, yes; I'm aware of that. but as soon as you lift it at the front as well, again, one single bolt alone should technically be sufficient. more is better to lower the risk of ripping out any hole (yeah, I'm aware, that's not very smartly formulated 🤣). lastly: what has this sagging effect to do even with the way it's mounted to the chassis? when this rear fork is infinitely strong and the makeshift adapter to the car is mounted firmly onto those plunges (or however that's called; English isn't my strong suit, lol. begrüße 😉), they shouldn't ever twist and sag no matter what happens to the car. cheers! (no, I'm not fun at parties. trust me, people-I tried! 😂)
As a non-car person, whenever I hear "rotisserie" I think "chicken". Where I live, one of the best-known places for rotisserie chicken is a restaurant chain called Swiss Chalet. 😂 In all seriousness, the quality of your work is truly impressive, as always! Can't wait to see more of this series!
Same here. I think of barbecue when I hear rotisserie. And I'm Swiss 😁 ... At least it was like this before. Now, I will always think of mymechanics when I hear rotisserie.
Thank you for showing us the error with the drilled hole! It's important to show that mistakes are a part of real life. We are spoon-fed so much perfection from all media that many think lesser of themselves trying to reach unrealistic standards. We are human and we can still be great, even is we screw up from time to time!
What are you talking about? My life has been entirely perfect, from the last grunt of my father when he injected half of my dna into my mother until me writing this comment.
This creator is my superhero. I am almost 80 now and I am so happy that my grandchildren got me into this RUclips thing. I can live vicariously through these amazing people. First off we all know the Swiss people make me embarrassed to think that I have a PhD but yet still cannot come close to the amazing things they’ve done. My best tools are Swiss and I am so honored to see a master class in action! I look forward to every single moment that is to come! I wish you all the very best!
LOL! I had no idea that there was such a thing as a car rotisserie. I can however admire how well it would work, for those into full car body restoration work,. Brilliant!
This is the first other rotisserie I've seen with adjustability. Years back, I remember my grandfather making one for his Triumps using 2 old 28" Land Rover jacks.
I am not a car person. I don’t restore cars, I don’t do my own car repairs, and I really don’t even do handy work of any kind. But when I tell you I’ve been glued to this series and am listening to every word…!!!
Well I'll never be putting a car on a rotisserie but I do enjoy watching you do it. More videos of the Datsun please! This reminds me of the car I wasn't able to buy while I was in the military.
Just discovered your channel recently. You are extremely good at explaining your plans and procedures. Always loved these cars. When you see a 240z stripped down and look at its profile , it is absolutely pure art. You are a very talented person. Please keep up the great work you are doing. Dennis
This really seems magical. Perhaps goes on to show what happens when the right level of skill and knowledge meet the sheer love for mechanics. Absolute joy to watch.
You really saved me a lot of trouble. I have the exact same rotisserie, but it came without any trace of instructions for how to mount and adjust the car body. Now I'm finally on track. Thanks!
This series of restoration videos are so well made, they could be used as training guides in post secondary learning , super awesome. Looking forward to more!
I've admired your work since the first video I saw, and have gone back and re watched them all. I also want to say that I appreciate how much work goes into making technical content in a second language. Your English is impeccable. Your accent hits the sweet spot of being entirely correct and understandable, while maintaining a level of authenticity and charm. I'm really looking forward to this series!
I'm filled with admiration for both your ability to fix things and your ability to speak English. I couldn't order a beer in Swiss-German! So my intent is solely to be helpful, not critical, as I mention now that you are using the noun "screw" where "bolt" is actually correct. There is a verb "bolt," too. For example, "He bolted the car to the rotisserie." Thanks for your interesting videos! Cheers!
Love these insight videos! really help piece the story of the Datsun 240z together :) Can't deny I was cringing hearing the rust sloshing about as the car was turned! Slap a motor on that rotisserie and it will tumble all that nasty internal rust away! 😂
Thansk for showing the drill hole in the wrong spot. I thought you never made a mistake really...it's good to see someone as good as you make some mistakes sometimes too. Thanks for sharing.
A tip (For both you and the maker of the rotisserie) when ever making telescopic "things" from square tubing, ALWAYS weld the locking nut/screw on the corner. It's more of a hassle to weld it, but re result is so much better, as when you tighten the screw, the square tubes align perfect in the opposite corner. No wobbly and no deformation when the screws are tightened hard.
The roto is a good piece of kit, and will make work on the body much easier. One detail I forgot to mention in the first episode was, keep the front air-dam just like the factory original. Over the years I have seen some really ugly looking after market body kit air-dams that spoil the look, and make driving over high spots hard on the bodywork. Its a small, sleek sports car and the original look is the best.🦋
You could also support the inboard side of the rear bumper mounting points with a box section bolted to the two weld datum holes visible at 2:00 and clamped to the inboard side. Right now you have the whole weight of the back end hanging on the one arc weld to the frame when it's rotated in any direction but standard (this is before the days of structural crash supports in the bumpers).
The other option is grinding off the weld nuts and clamping straight through the bumper reinforcement to a bar attached to the axle mounts. You don't need to clear the body panels if you can bolt through them.
I was thinking something similar an aluminum 1/2 inch thick plate behind the rear pair of holes, with a clamp on it that “grips” the cross bar inside that runs from one side to the other. Then the bolts go through the holes, and on to the thread in the aluminum plate, with some washers in between. Should avoid damaging the rear panel.
I absolutely adore your content! And quite refreshing to have voiceover on these videos compared to the main channel. Even though I love your titles (I make new one) it's nice to hear your soothing voice as well! Awesome videos I can not wait to see how this project pans out
Agreed. This man could line up 30 chickens on a homemade, custom-built steel rod, put the entire unit over a bed of oak or hickory coals, and have one helluva party. I want an invite.
Just so you know, this room where you are doing this has more sq. M than my apartment I live in. 😆 You are a star. I am pretty good but I don't think I could ever reach your level of expertise. You are a Master. You are my number one favorite RUclips Channel. Hands Down. And Number two can't even be seen on the horizon. The German guy is really good, though. But....
I really appreciate the file you put over the welding portions of the video, normally watching welding gives me a headache. You're the only person I've found who does this and I'm very appreciative.
Your screen isn’t as bright as a welding arc. Just pretend it is ice cream 🍦 (probably the same colour white on your screen) and your brain will be happy 😂
Hi my mechanics I have no idea why you're trying to cook the car or what that has to do with it's restoration, but i like everything you do on your channels at this point and i don't even want to question it. Best regards, a fan.
This is getting better and better with various interesting episodes.. I am sure MM is going to put the car manufacturers to shame with his brilliant workmanship and better than original restoration!
The axial fixing of the screws on the rear supports taking all the load (unlike the front ones in the radial position), their shortening and strengthening makes the assembly much more confident! The "behind the scenes secrets" are appreciable and could even be the equal of your main channel one day! Is it the rust in the tank that you hear when rotating?
While the finished product will be fun to see, it is the process, and your unique techniques that I am most interested in. I feel this may be the finest 240Z on Earth when you are done. 👍
Let's all kneel and pray to praise this miracle. My mechanics drilled a hole in the wrong place! So he's only human after all. A genius, yes, but also human.
Thank you for making this video! I have never seen something like this before and I really enjoyed it and learned something new. Looking forward to the future videos!
I can see how that'll make it much easier to do bodywork. Being able to sit/stand upright to work on something underneath the car is heck of a lot more comfortable than laying on your back and reaching up. Anyway, looking forward to the many more videos on this restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Totally hyped for the series, there is something incredibly relaxing about the way you create your videos. Hopefully there will be more car restorations, maybe an old Porsche?
Getting ahead of yourself a bit... let him finish this one first. Gonna take a while as he is a perfectionist and not gonna cut corners (well, except to make them less sharp).
Grutzi Mr MM. Good explanation of the rotisserie. Never considered the balance bit, will now. You gave us a good look at the “frame” on a few shots. You can see where the well supported area stop, below the ends of the doors. Lots of those bodies have cracked there. I suggest you make sub-frame-connectors. A hollow rectangle bar, 4 cm wide and 2 cm deep would do. Usually about 2 meters long, you blend them into well supported areas on each end. And match them to the body contours for the whole length. Only weld the outer 15 or 20 cm to the body. 4mm wall thickness is lots, most are about 2mm. They go as close as possible to the body. If they buzz, shove a few rubber strips on top of them. Huge help, brakes,suspension, every thing works better with way less flex. See the modern Mini construction theories for super rigid Uni-bodies. Forgot, you need two of them. Good luck!
Great video! I'm not a huge car guy, but this is still really interesting and informative! Looking forward to more on this restoration! Keep up the great work! 👍
A hole location mistake!!! I didn't know this man could make a mistake! My whole belief system has been shaken! Just kidding, really glad that he included that!
My thoughts on the rear mounts: Firstly, about 70% of the mass is through the rear rotisserie. Secondly, the orientation of the tubing at the bumper mount creates a bending moment resisted only by the tubing wall thickness. Your additional angle strongbacks only helped marginally. Plates welded across the open sides of the tubing would be more effective (but need access to remove the bolts). Thirdly, the body structure is not as robust as could be in this area as noted. As others have suggested, a secondary bracket adding stiffness under the car that you bolt through to your rotisserie would be helpful.
MORE MOAR. Impatiently waiting for your next part in the series. You deserve way more views then you get (so much shite out there). Thank you and cheers
When i did my grandpa's old merc, i made my own rotisserie. It's super easy to make. Basically only 5 cm thick wall pipe, which can be bought second hand and i split open a section of the pipe to enlarge the ID to fit over the OD to make the pivot section. MMA welder + grinder and a drill for the pin stops. All in all, i think i paid ... 100 euros for the pipe and 10 for all the consumables. Sold it for much more.
Am I wrong, or is this the first time we are hearing your voice? - Again, I am so excited for this build. The 240z was my first car and still my “dream” car to this day some 30+ years later.

No, don't compromise the product
@@adamkubacki1958 He's never once compromised quality for quantity, I don't think he's gonna start anytime soon.
After just watching a video about mounting the car to a rotisserie, it looks like he most definitely will be milking this series for all it’s worth 🙂

I'd let it marinade in a nice chemical bath before mounting it on a rotisserie, but that may not be in the budget for this build.

You can see where the well supported area stop, below the ends of the doors. Lots of those bodies have cracked there. I suggest you make sub-frame-connectors. A hollow rectangle bar, 4 cm wide and 2 cm deep would do. Usually about 2 meters long, you blend them into well supported areas on each end. And match them to the body contours for the whole length. Only weld the outer 15 or 20 cm to the body. 4mm wall thickness is lots, most are about 2mm. They go as close as possible to the body. If they buzz, shove a few rubber strips on top of them. Huge help, brakes,suspension, every thing works better with way less flex. See the modern Mini construction theories for super rigid Uni-bodies. Forgot, you need two of them. Good luck!
Watching your videos are always great and educational, but sometimes you needs to wait so long before new stuff, can’t wait for the next video 🤛🤛👍👍
Great video! I'm not a huge car guy, but this is still really interesting and informative! Looking forward to more on this restoration! Keep up the great work! 👍
I'm not much of a car guy either. I'm a 78 year old woman 😅. I look forward to this man's videos, no matter what he's doing!
@@MrSullismom Yep, this 68 y/o woman enjoys them too!
Dada , you are too good.. Love from WB, India...
A hole location mistake!!! I didn't know this man could make a mistake! My whole belief system has been shaken! Just kidding, really glad that he included that!
Lovin this! Can’t wait for future progress!
Your videos are very detailed and informative, but you cannot weld. ❤
My thoughts on the rear mounts: Firstly, about 70% of the mass is through the rear rotisserie. Secondly, the orientation of the tubing at the bumper mount creates a bending moment resisted only by the tubing wall thickness. Your additional angle strongbacks only helped marginally. Plates welded across the open sides of the tubing would be more effective (but need access to remove the bolts). Thirdly, the body structure is not as robust as could be in this area as noted. As others have suggested, a secondary bracket adding stiffness under the car that you bolt through to your rotisserie would be helpful.
This is going to be an epic build! Can't wait to see the drivetrain rebuilding.
I love that this guy
I love your work.
You really need to take a class in welding.
Everything is epic and one of a kind in my mechanics, but this one, oh man! going to make history 😮😮😮😮😮
Perfekt um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen, demnächst kann ich auch endlich einen Schraubstock restaurieren. Zum Glück weiß ich ja jetzt wie es geht :)
Great video as usual , Brilliant just brilliant .
Thanks for the eye protection during the welding! ♥
OH WOW! Looking fantastic already ❤
You make it look so easy, but I know that I probably drop the car on my leg 😂
Amazing job❤!
Good job mister beautifully done
So looking forward to more progress on this vehicle restoration.
Looking good so far!!
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I love the update videos. I can't wait to see what you do with this beautiful car.
Looking forward to the next installment of this 'Watch Wes Work' series!
Nice luxury item to have. Thanks, I'm looking forward to this project very much.
Where did you get that rotisserie? It looks a very serious one.
MORE MOAR. Impatiently waiting for your next part in the series. You deserve way more views then you get (so much shite out there). Thank you and cheers
looking forward to the next progress video...
LOVE this type of video. Keep it coming while we wait on the big channel release !!!
This project has Binky vibes. And I love it!
When i did my grandpa's old merc, i made my own rotisserie. It's super easy to make. Basically only 5 cm thick wall pipe, which can be bought second hand and i split open a section of the pipe to enlarge the ID to fit over the OD to make the pivot section. MMA welder + grinder and a drill for the pin stops. All in all, i think i paid ... 100 euros for the pipe and 10 for all the consumables. Sold it for much more.
I didn't even know something like this was possible. That's so cool.
The space on which you are working with the car is cleaner than my kitchen.
Am I wrong, or is this the first time we are hearing your voice? - Again, I am so excited for this build. The 240z was my first car and still my “dream” car to this day some 30+ years later.
I like that, even on a one time appliance used to mount the chassis to the rotisserie, you still remove all the burrs.
