“A bunch of mail in ballots came in for the burnt bronze”
You’re funny for that one😂😂😂
Yeah, all from Wayne county...
@@bryanhallman8183 yea I just completed a study that shows that Wayne county had a historic voter turnout of 102% this election. They are very serious about the burnt brown color.
Fantastic build, exactly the options I would pick. And I like your production style, much better to watch than all the mainstream tv shows with their fake drama. Respect from Wales UK.
you are very organized, super clean build! greetings from Crete/Greece
This is what you call built not bought 💪👍
Love the caterpillar attack 11:15-11:20 ;)
I know car building is full of internet keyboard commandos, still when heat wrapping with fiberglass wrap, wet it with warm water for best results, so far your build looks amazing and is inspiring me to take steps with mine.
Wanted to say thanks for getting back to me and I think this it very cool that you get to see how a car is made
You're very welcome, George!
Thank you. I am not even what Americans call "shade tree mechanic" fantastic presentation.
Stumbled across this build by accident really, watched them all and loving it
Can’t wait for next video all the way from the UK 🇬🇧👍
LOL, those darn mail in ballots! Car is looking great.
I'm a bit behind. None the less. Fantastic build and audio / filmography. Keep up the great content.
I only came across your build this morning and had to watch it all up to date. The anticipation is killing me to see the finished build but I imagine it is not as great as yours. That first turn of the key is going to be amazing.
Thanks for checking it out! I definitely can't wait either!
Those brakes are a work of art
For your dropped washer an nut. Post the nut into your socket then use masking tape to to hold the washer on the face of the socket. if you wrap the tape around the socket you can align it so it just overlaps the face of the washer.
Excellent instructional video. Your clear, even, unhesitating verbal description of what you're doing and why makes watching a 28.5 minute gearhead video fly. Plus you're doing everything the right way. I've never seen a YT video with no dislikes.
Thank you!
Very nice and clean work 👍👍🦅🇺🇸🦅
Aww I love your boxer. I’ve had 3 over the years. They are so funny. Best dogs.
They're the absolute best dogs ever!
It’s going quick! That brake system is massive! Great video!
Thanks, Russ! You'll have to check it out in person for sure.
To me looking at those AP sets, good engineering to me is art.
youve got to upload more often, im on the edge of my seat here waiting to see the next part. subbed for sure
Thanks! I'm working on it for sure... just waiting on a few odds & ends before posting the next one.
I'll be waiting. If you ever come to Toronto I want a ride ;)
Man , you are knocking this thing out with a quickness . Thank you for bring us along for the journey .
Love your attention to detail and extras you are putting into your build.
Boxer appearance at 7:12 ! ❤️🐕
this is the first video ive ever seen with no dislikes, means your doing something right, keep up the good work we are proud of u
I had to add another comment, about how impressed I am at the clean build. It must feel good to know all the parts you install were done with attention to detail.
Extend the insulation onto the metal fittings of the A/C hoses as they will sweat.
With the knowledge of actually know wtf you are doing this must be great fun. Like a Tamiya build on steroids. Great work mate.
Can't wait to see what wheels u went with.
Check out the new video where you can see them! BC Forged.
You are very organized on what you do I think it is very satisfying. Great work
Looking forwards to watching the next video in the series.
Man I must say I never thought that this build would have me thinkin!!!! I usually look at builds to learn. I have a Mini Cooper S and for year I wanted a car that I could work on if anything went wrong. The cars today are compact and full of computerize non-sense for no reason. Although I recognize that this is not easy but it will give you a sense of Pride and Joy when completed. I was looking at buying another factory made car due to compact nature of the Mini Cooper but now you like others, I am looking at a KIT CARS. Must check the budget? Thank you for inspiration I might not have the funds but now I know there are better options!!!!
Looking great man. Very professional approach.
Great option going with those big AP breaks the Callipers they look fantastic, and your right its ok going fast and equally important to be able to stop without fade off. It's fantastic to think you can build a super race car in your garage. Your advisor Louis seems to be enjoying the build too. 😂😂.
Haha yeah Louie is always there front and center for the unboxing of anything, hoping for the slight chance it's something for him to destroy. Good pup right there.
You are motoring through this build! Great to watch
Another Great Video with excellent explanation. I’m a Big Fan here. Thank You for showing me, “a feeling of building my own car”! 👍👍👍
one of the best yt series, cant wait to see more
Thanks!
How about some TrimLock edge trim or some sort of padding where your heater hoses run across the aluminum cutouts in your storage box? Hose vibrating on the aluminum edge will wear a hole fast. BTW today I washed, clayed and Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Waxed my ‘05 Lotus Elise in the garage. Great stuff never used before. Car looks better than showroom finish. Got motivated for garage work after watching your vids. Stuck here in Kentucky with nowhere to go. Love your videos!
Thanks Craig! Yeah there will definitely be a barrier between the hoses and the aluminum. Nice job on the Lotus! This whole Covid thing is terrible except for getting things done at home.
Fantastic build, you really making quick work of this and making it look easier than it probably is.
Thanks Sam. While it's time-consuming, at the end of the day it's just nuts, bolts, and rivets.
Having just found your channel, I have to say I really appreciate people like yourself who take the time to document their builds on youtube. This build in particular is being presented in such a methodical and professional manner. Well done, you have another subscriber.
Thanks, Kev! Glad you're enjoying it.
Great build 😎
Beautiful clean build, loving it!
Just found your channel (suggestion from RUclips) EPIC BUILD!!! Suck a nice car! Love it!!!
really fun to watch your build, thanks for sharing
Just amazed! Such a bliss to follow this build. Like when, as a kid, you built stuff like this -ish. But mostly in scales like 1:24 or best case 1:12 😝 Love the in-depth of this. Looking forward to the start-up and first lap 🏁🏆
Man, you’re really inspiring me to get one of my own. Keep up the great work!
Awesome build.
Hey mate, I'll loving your build. Keep up the great work. Much respect from Australia 👍
Keep up the great work. Thanks
Subbed from the UK, enjoying the build.
Not a big deal but I always put a oil pressure gauge that is mechanical on every single build I do. They don’t lie and they are easy to install. Doesn’t have to be in the car with you but you can put it somewhere that you can see it when you first start it up. I love the digital gauge packs but I like too know that I have oil pressure.
Build is looking great and the channel is looking awesome keep up the great work
This is the best ultima build i have seen yet and the fastest. I like you work and hope you’ll not run into problems in the build that delay you. If you put the cost of the build after you finish it that would be helpful so we can know the budget we need to do a project like this. Thanks, keep it going.
Thanks, Ali. I plan on doing a cost breakdown video at the end and am keeping track of every little thing.
Fantastic video, thank you.
Gabe, that heater control valve looks like it closes all the fluid when shut. On GM engines you still want water to circulate through the water pump heater outlet and inlet so you should have an H pipe or something connecting both heater lines. Otherwise the engine can overheat. A couple companies make specialized heater control valves for LS/LT engines. I’m doing an LT4 build and using a HCV from Old air products.
Great point. I'll have to check on that. Thank you!
There is an H-pipe that sits in-line allowing coolant to circulate when the valve is closed, but Gabe hasn't got to that part yet so spoilers!
Looking really clean. Slow down or your going to catch me. I’m just getting the first side pod attached.
Brembo is the parent company of AP Racing. Pretty sure is the source for a lot of parts in AP brake systems.
They were the innovators like first Carbon clutch, and so on.
Brembo bought AP Racing yes. But AP Racing and Brembo were basically F-1 Rivals. As far as household name Brembo now has the name. History, F-1, Clutches, Braking Systems AP is the king. They were the innovators like first Carbon clutch, and so on.
Next time on the yoke on the steering shaft if you remove the bolt all the day and stick a screw driver in the split and tape it a few times it opens the spacing a tiny more and allows the shaft to slide right in. Install bolt tighten and it’ll be good to go. I don’t see mush issue with removing a little of the coating as long as you don’t gum up the splines, and it’s a little more likely to build up corrosion over time but that’s a lot less of a fear as this isn’t a daily driver or in rough conditions.
Looks amazing mate
You must be a Goonzquad fan (I am too)! I recognize your music selection... :-)
Yeah those guys are awesome. "Daaaaaang sooooonnn!" :)
niiiiiiiceeeeee!!!!!!!!
Just earned a new sub! This is awesome keep it up!
How about a foam rubber kneeling pad: well worth it!!!! Great job and a fantastic package from Ultima
take off the counterweights from the shift linkage on the trans. will help with shifter feel
Hmm interesting idea... have you done this with Porsche transaxles before?
@@UltimateUltimaRS yes. I had a 996 tt that was built to 1000 rwhp. the 996tt trans is actually stronger than the 997tt trans and about 3k cheaper. using cup cables and you can even use the cup car shift linkage if you had the trans apart for even sharper shifts.
Looking good ATB Wayne UK...........
Sweet!
Killing me with the mail-in ballots comment!🤣🤣🤣
Fascinating watching your progress. My brother and I interested in our own build. So your progress is a road map and real lesson in excellence. What transmission are you using? Having driven a Radical my preference would be a sequential possibly with paddles. Your thoughts?
I'm using the Porsche G97.50 which is an H-pattern manual box. I am hoping that some company will make a stand alone controller for the new Corvette C8 transaxle (TR-9080) and upgraded clutch discs since it will bolt right to the back of my LT5 and would probably be the best bet as far as integration into the GM ECU. There are Ultima guys using air shifted Albins sequentials though so it's definitely doable.
@@UltimateUltimaRS I see it is 4x4, do you have to have it converted and does the rear output remain? Or has this been done already?
I've only just found this channel yesterday and be trying to catch up. But looking at your tools/equipment I'm guessing you've built several kit car builds before this one? Plus.. how do you get the time, surely this is not just evenings and weekends?
Great videos and really enjoying the content and editing! 👍
First time building one! And yes, just nights and weekends, though pretty obsessively. I'm not the type to have a perpetual project in the garage that I sort of get to when I get to.
@@UltimateUltimaRS Well done mate! I'm very impressed then. I have managed to catch up now on the videos and really enjoying the content. 👍👍
Top front bolts must be like that because once the dampers are in place you wouldn't be able to get the bolt all the way out.
AP racing is owned by Brembo which is why you see a brembo brake pad on a AP racing big brake kit
I know...I know. I am late the the party. I think Brembo must be the OEM for AP Racing. That red caliper looks almost exactly like mine on a Carrera 4S. The shape of the casting is a giveaway.
Yep, that’s definitely right. Not sure if everything is exact and just rebranded, but Brembo acquired AP Racing in 2000.
they want you to put those top bolts outwards cause when the strut/coil over goes in it looks like itll hit if you try taking the upper arm out
Are you putting aluminum pop rivets in freshly drilled holes in a steel tube chassis? Or are they stainless steel shanked rivets? As a retired aircraft mechanic, I would be considering the possibility of future corrosion between those dissimilar metals. We use Cherry Loc rivets in aircraft assembly or repair work, which have a stainless steel mushrooming part and the stem snaps off flush with the top of the finished installed rivet. That bit of shank adds strength.
I believe they are steel rivets that bond the aluminum to the tube chassis. Once the holes are drilled into the chassis, I spray cavity wax every three holes to prevent corrosion. Those Cherry Lock rivets are next level and it would be nice if those were used in the kit.
man i'd love to do something like this! it's gonna be a weapon once you're done. what kind of dollar figure is this whole build gonna end up costing you?
Around $170k. Check the new video for a breakdown of costs so far.
Excellent build......Did you find the Ultima kit better than the SLC Superlite kit..?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Should have used a double glue adhesive in between the plate and the pipes before installing the ribits. So if vibration make it loose in the future with will not raddle.
For the ac plate.
I did so, but it wasn't shown in the video. There is sealant between every riveted panel.
Came for the car staying to see the dog haha
Don't blame ya! ;)
I think you mean the WPO - (Work Prevention Officer).
Build looked 1000% better in person. But I will say. I would have coated both the shift knob and the e brake handle in that header burnt bronze. But then again. That's just me🤔
Didn't even think of that, Jeremy. Scratching my head now!
@@UltimateUltimaRS got you thinking about that. It would look good.
Loving the build videos mate! It's hard to tell on my phone, but is that shifter and handbrake tunnel cover real CF? If yes, did you get it from ultima, or did you get someone to make it? Richard has told me they only supply the fake CF cover..
Thanks!
It's a CF vinyl wrap. I was a bit disappointed in that. I may skin it in real CF... we'll see.
Ref front suspension bolts direction. It may be for wheel rim clearance at full lock.?
Nice build, one of my dream cars....what do you do for a living...??
as you took the camipers out of the box I said to myself 'those look like my brembos' then I notice the handbrake has brembo pads....are these reboxed brembos?
Brembo purchased AP Racing, but retains their factory and they are still branded AP Racing. The parking brake caliper is Brembo though.
I've been contemplating this build for about 10 years. The only reason I keep putting it off is I think it's going to be extremely difficult finding someone that will insure it without any mileage limits or "parade only" limitations. I know during the build, your homeowners insurance covers it (already looked into that). Have you gotten far enough along in the process to start the insurance search? All of the insurance research I've done, the insurance firms have black-listed the Ultima brand. I'm eager to see what you come up with.
Have you looked at Grundy?
Are you going to take any special precautions/barriers due to the high humidity and condensation from the AC? Just wondering about dripping or water collecting from using the AC every time you are in the car.
There are two drain tubes which exit the back of the A/C unit and flow to the ground. No worries there!
Just a quick question, how are you going to get all the swarf out of the chassis from all the rivet holes?
Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that. To make sure none can be heard and to prevent corrosion, cavity wax is sprayed into every third hole before anything is riveted into place. I have heard of guys using expanding foam as well.
@@UltimateUltimaRS nice, I've heard of the expanding foam as well. It''s a shame the factory didnt leave any well placed holes on the underside or on the ends for you to blow it all out before capping them.
Is there an electric power steering option for the RS?
Not directly from Ultima, but there are several owners who have fitted electric power steering to them. Definitely possible and doable.
@@UltimateUltimaRS Ok, good...at least it could be retro-fitted at a later time if you should so desire power assist. Thanks, great job.
Where do all the airbags go 😬
I'm surprised they have you mount the shocks upside down like that
nice but you always wrap exhaust pipe wrap wet that way when it dries it bonds to the pipe and makes it last longer and less chance if it coming loose of fraying!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you consider going with an electric power steering unit?
Briefly... I've seen other builds with it but I don't think the extra effort will bother me much.
@@UltimateUltimaRS It depends on the tire sizing, geometry, and if you have to negotiate tight parking areas, a lot. I'm getting close to 50, so a little extra help isn't a bad thing.
you mount the schocks upside doun
How many hours do you have into this build so far?
A lot of home chassis builders should really examine the chassis on the car. They are overbuilding to the extreme when simply guessing what is adequate for a given strength. Box sections and knee or cross bracing multiplies the strength by over a factor of 10 to a single pipe. Even if you don't have any idea what material strength is, most newer CAD software has built in failure analysis based on decades of quantitative data and testing.
Overbuilding a watch will make it last forever. Overbuilding a chassis in what I've observed is adding more than a half ton in excess weight. Now you need bigger brakes and more power to accomplish the same objective. It doesn't make the car safer for those that plan to say more is better. It makes the car less able to maintain grip at speed, take much longer to stop and so on. Making the odds of a crash increase.
Porsche 917k? Under built death trap, never designed for impact really. Ultima is a near perfect example of chassis building. It even has a considerable safety margin built in but remains ultra light.
Ultima is really an engineering marvel, one of the best you can get or build. Love it!
Hi, When is the next video out
It's out now! New build video coming soon as well.
If u want to convert to electric power steering order side by side universal power steering kit 2015 articcat wildcat
Porsche trans? 915?
How many hours a day do you work on this project? Thanks
I try to put about 4 hours per day into it. Sometimes less, sometimes more. But I'd say that's about average. Time really flies during stuff like this though so 4 hours goes by in what seems like 45 mins.
@@UltimateUltimaRS your doing a great job I can’t wait to see the finished project and you driving her. Got to saw I am leaning toward a Ultima RS build, but maybe finding someone to most of the work. I’m turning 74 not much time to have the fun your having. Thanks for responding Dave
My god! Burned bronze headers are the Joe Biden of the car world! :P
Gear lever doesn't look like your typical H style, how does it operate
There are cables that attach to the bottom of the shifter and go to the transmission.
@@UltimateUltimaRS so it's sequential?
