Just an idea hinge the hood off the bash bar and open it backwards use two bolts with wing nuts as hood pins to hold the hood down! Quick and easy and really kinda post apocalyptic looking! But like I said just my idea.
By the way Chris, my buddy did the exoskeleton hood on his EK Civic coupe and bolted plexiglass over the holes and put a really small neon under the hood to light it. His car is completely Raptor lined on the exterior with gold wheels. It's really classy and well done.
You should take the skin off the trunk as well to complete the look. Also, if you do the widebody kit, you should put the front fender flare where you had it mocked up at 10:33 because the edge closest to the door looks like a GT3 racecar fender duct.
I don't want to be too late for the 200k subs so I'll do it now. I've been here since about 50k, and haven't regretted one video. I appreciate you doing RUclips for the entertainment, the information, and overall just having fun. You're and awesome dude, and can't wait for what you have next in store for us. Have a great day man :)
You could bring the front lower bar to the sides and around the Rocket Bunny flares, or even around the whole car so you'd have something to stand on wherever you are around the car (as you wanted to do side steps or whatever they're called)
Newest subscriber here!!! Awesome to see a RUclipsr into cars locally..... I'm over on the westside and hope you have a great experience and can't wait to see the future.... should set up a po box
I'd paint the crashbar with bed liner and use more of the mesh grate for the grill area being as though in a apocalypse build, you'd want some protection for that radiator, but so far its pretty awesome! Keep it up.
The front end is gonna look amazing, but what about the rest? The doors are too clean, IMO. What about replacing the side windows with steel with holes cut out? Gut the doors, then remove the handle and replace with some sort of pull loop, but on the exterior. And then after everything's done, weather the hell out of the door. I don't know how you could do that shy of throwing chemicals at it or manually sanding away parts.
Chris I hope you realise that the passenger side tower being shifted out of the stock location throws the suspension geometry way out of wack, which can be very dangerous....so maybe take it for a good drive at a little above highway speeds at a safe location?
about your jacked wheels. i saw this product where if someone tried to hammer a molding socket onto your wheel lock it would set off your car alarm. also besides craigslist, you could check apps like offerup or other craigslist-like apps
Rocket bunny the rear and fab up the fronts out of sheet steel or do something fun like use tractor / 18 wheeler rear wheel fenders. Keep it up. This kicks ass and is incredibly amusing. Sell off the interior parts to make up for some of that $$$!
Bro, you know that I love the channel and take the word of Chris as gospel, but do you think we could get an off schedule update on the Mustang? I was really interested in your building of that car and as soon as it started it was like the end of the story. We all love the builds, but don't you want to follow through and completely finish a build (ie: tuning, dyno run, getting it running properly) before you move on to the next two builds? I'm not trying to be ignorant, I just wanted to see you follow through with the build on the Mustang. You put so much work into it to just let it sit and get sold later on.
Hey leave that front fender flare that way it looks cool! For the rear one a little trimming will make it look cool as well. For the exoskeleton of the hood please try to take that black rectangular thing at the front the rest is looking awesome!
it would of been cool to have some u bolts to hold the mesh on. either having the bolts on the top or the actual bolt part would add a different kinda aesthetic and texture to the hood. Also crazy idea, put hinges on the bottom of the bar on the front end and have it held down with like a bolt of something, then when the front bar is up and bolted down the hood would be chained down or bolted down to the front bar.
Chris if you're gonna widebody it, could you just fiberglass over the rocket bunny kit parts and then use those fiberglassed parts? Might save ya some cash.
instead of adding a new stock headlight, you should an LED pod and mount it to a tube fender. Which brings me to my next idea, instead of a rocket bunny kit, make tube fenders similar to the drift Jimney from Noriyaro's channel
You could do builds like this from time to time, like a "crazy budget build" or "apocalyptic build" series, since you salvage cars from Coparts you kinda act like if you were stealing cars during Apocalypse. Good luck !
You should not widebody you should take the front fenders off to see the frame and cut the outer shell layer off the quart panels in the back to see the inner skeleton
just exoskeleton the whole thing make a fender out of scrap metal, be cool if you had one round headlight to go with the theme. be cool if you could have gotten some deep thread tires on there instead of spacers I think
G35 and 350z come with vlsd rear diffs. Problem I ran in to with it. Vlsd is not very consistent with locking up sometimes, especially when you need to rely on it while drifting and changing directions.
jreat deels everyday I know they are awesome and fun its just that since i cant afford a car its a bit painful to see them go beserk on the g35, but aside from that he is killing it
i think you should keep the car and get a vaydor kit for it instead of just selling it, then twin turbo this. fuck the mustang.. You know how to do fiberglass work, and plus building a kit car would be dope to see..
Hey Chris, what if you used one of those round grills and cut off the outer sections to do a DIY widebody? That'd look way more apocalypse versus Rocket Bunny flares.
J Cameron because it matches with the b is for built content, but he can use some other cars, not the c4/5. Remember when the evora was teardown, It was like a go-kart.
"Structural rigidity"... man, makes me feel like I'm back in the Lotus days! Looks sick Chris, makes me want to buy a wrecked car!
"you're not sposed to be able to weld aluminum to steel but uhhh.. i did some how" lmfao
Thanks for all you've taught me B is for Build
Sure it's not just a reveal video for a wrecked GTR?
Jimmy Grant 😂😂😂😂
This will be the top comment.
Caleb Molenda it allready is

You put a lot of work in your channel and builds, love the content bro
I'm really enjoying this video series man thank you!!!
I love that he doesn't bull shit us with like 1 video doing 1 mod. He does like 5 mods in one video and it feels satisfying haha
Just an idea hinge the hood off the bash bar and open it backwards use two bolts with wing nuts as hood pins to hold the hood down! Quick and easy and really kinda post apocalyptic looking! But like I said just my idea.
You Got sponsored by TunerCrate!? BRRROOOOO! that's awesome!

When i seen the tuner crate all I could do is smile, we moving up in the word #Bisforbuild
Cool idea for the hood. It looks awesome.
I don't want to be too late for the 200k subs so I'll do it now. I've been here since about 50k, and haven't regretted one video.

Hi, I'm C is for Chris, this is B is for Build and I'm stuck in T is for traffic.
THAT HOOD LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
since the tires don't pike out enough what about cutting the fender a bit and rolling it out to be flush with the rear wheels
I'd also say ditch the headlights and use some led light bar style lights and a 20/30" lightbar on the lower grill/bash bar
An impact bar FOR your impact bar! YEAH! lol keep up the great work. This thing is going to be sick
I am loving this build so far
You could bring the front lower bar to the sides and around the Rocket Bunny flares, or even around the whole car so you'd have something to stand on wherever you are around the car (as you wanted to do side steps or whatever they're called)
I think some primitive, very rectangular fender flares might fit the look and be different from other stuff out there
I like this almost everyday uploads :]
i think this is awesome, never seen anyone do anything like this before
Newest subscriber here!!!

That looks surprisingly awesome!

That steelyard is heaven

I really appreciate these earlier upload times
I love that you dont clap your hands anymore. thank you (except the end)
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!?!?!? IT WAS SUCH A PRETTY G35, IT WAS PERFECT!!!!! AHHHHH, MY EYES HURT
Chris I hope you realise that the passenger side tower being shifted out of the stock location throws the suspension geometry way out of wack, which can be very dangerous....so maybe take it for a good drive at a little above highway speeds at a safe location?

so sick with the photo shop of the g35 section of the video.. real sick
I feel like doing widened steelies would look pretty good on an apocalypse themed car
Alan Chernitskiy They're a must have. Ive built 2 cars like this
Rocket bunny the rear and fab up the fronts out of sheet steel or do something fun like use tractor / 18 wheeler rear wheel fenders. Keep it up. This kicks ass and is incredibly amusing. Sell off the interior parts to make up for some of that $$$!
The GTR front bumper is the most hated front bumper by 90% of G35 owners
OPDrags agreed 😂
OPDrags tbh. I'm getting my Kuruma Z this may hopefully.
erich2780 I got mine last week :D
Couldn't agree more. No matter the modifications it was not meant to be a GTR lol.
and 98% of any car owners anywhere
Ok now that hood looks amazing
Loving it man! I'm planning on doing this to my 91 foxbody a little down the line! Looks sick!
Bro, you know that I love the channel and take the word of Chris as gospel, but do you think we could get an off schedule update on the Mustang?

Tim Thelning if you were actually following it you would know he said it would be two weeks. If I'm not correct it's been about 4+. Simmer down
he is just taking a brake for some fun. he doesn't have deadlines on his cars.
Completely agree
Chris you may need new batteries for your calculator on this $1500 budget?
car $1300
light $150
bottom arm $80
wheel $60
metal $120
Total $1710
That hood looks sooo good. Maybe you can add a fan like wreckedLancer to keep the cali heat out :)
The GTR look actually makes the front end of the infinity look good :D i've never been a fan of front!
Hey leave that front fender flare that way it looks cool! For the rear one a little trimming will make it look cool as well. For the exoskeleton of the hood please try to take that black rectangular thing at the front the rest is looking awesome!
Finally an episode released at a reasonable time on the east coast!
I actually looked at the thumbnail and thought "oh hey, look! And r35!"
Light bar. All apocalypse vehicles must have a large light bar on the roof!
the paul walker sticker on the g35 is from tuner crate
Cool! haha
Akeem Wisdom he needs some jake stuff for when his wheels got jaked
Akeem Wisdom no its not. tuner crate just resell a sticker off Ali express and mark it up 200%
it would of been cool to have some u bolts to hold the mesh on. either having the bolts on the top or the actual bolt part would add a different kinda aesthetic and texture to the hood. Also crazy idea, put hinges on the bottom of the bar on the front end and have it held down with like a bolt of something, then when the front bar is up and bolted down the hood would be chained down or bolted down to the front bar.
man you should totally make that missing fender out of the steel grating!!!
that's so cool Mike sponsored you 😉 lovin the channel hope to see you around I live in Salem!
I love this channel, keep it up!
Was watching the series earlier and he just uploaded the next video lol sweet!
Chris if you're gonna widebody it, could you just fiberglass over the rocket bunny kit parts and then use those fiberglassed parts? Might save ya some cash.
That hood looks wicked !! :D
the hood looks soo badass!
i think that front end looks killer like that!
instead of adding a new stock headlight, you should an LED pod and mount it to a tube fender. Which brings me to my next idea, instead of a rocket bunny kit, make tube fenders similar to the drift Jimney from Noriyaro's channel
Can't wait for the next video!
LMAO it actually looks like a GTR. Love your videos
earned a sub... i want to see more... cant wait
that scrap yard was like heaven for anyone building stuff
You could do builds like this from time to time, like a "crazy budget build" or "apocalyptic build" series, since you salvage cars from Coparts you kinda act like if you were stealing cars during Apocalypse. Good luck !
You should not widebody you should take the front fenders off to see the frame and cut the outer shell layer off the quart panels in the back to see the inner skeleton
just exoskeleton the whole thing make a fender out of scrap metal, be cool if you had one round headlight to go with the theme. be cool if you could have gotten some deep thread tires on there instead of spacers I think
Should put a air intake and filter in the spot where the busted light is
My knees are killing me watching him work on the hood on the ground haha
Keep it up man your doing a great job
Chris for the inside of the Hood you could make those rubber piece residue into fake bullet holes to give it that Apocalypse look
Nice profile pic dude! Rally Redlines are beautiful.
love the channel!
Chris your doing it right I love the Apocalypse G35 it's fucking awesome bro
you're really good at photoshop
Hey Chris! That metal yard is right next to my house haha. There's a cool Datsun Shop there too!
This is sick
I don't get why people dislike this video, it's creative and still cheaper than actually spending money on a GTR lol.
G35 and 350z come with vlsd rear diffs.
Problem I ran in to with it. Vlsd is not very consistent with locking up sometimes, especially when you need to rely on it while drifting and changing directions.
keep it up dude! good job!
I feel like this build is gonna blow up...
Rear bumper delete with something crazy. Either diffuser or steel ram bar.
Nathan Tiller that's not crazy, really that's just super generic
Nice job it looks good so far
Nice Video Mate!!!
Awesome!! Lots of progress!
You crazy fam in the beginning when you welded without a glove on ur left hand :O
You can probably flip the wheels for the widebody. Mount the face of the wheel onto the disc
"Things not being super symmetrical, that bugs me." While there's a missing headlight and an entire fender is gone lol
one does not simply make a gtr
add a led front bar to it, it would look dope and will give u better light sauce
The hood ended up looking really good.
Man, I know it is a build project but not having a car and watching him do an apocalypse style thing breaks my heart... B is for broke
Juan Velez Why? Apocalypse builds are awesome. Ive done 2 and theyre so damn fun
jreat deels everyday I know they are awesome and fun its just that since i cant afford a car its a bit painful to see them go beserk on the g35, but aside from that he is killing it
been following for about a month and just noticed you in Portland area too nice!!
Steel weels insite out 😋
Looks cool and low cost
B Is For Before I Watch I Like
Liking this before the video even starts
This thing needs to sound like a Apocalypse car G35 so just make holes in the exhaust :D
The hoods endoskeleton is what you exposed. Exoskeleton means it's already exposed
i think you should keep the car and get a vaydor kit for it instead of just selling it, then twin turbo this. fuck the mustang.. You know how to do fiberglass work, and plus building a kit car would be dope to see..
Hey Chris, what if you used one of those round grills and cut off the outer sections to do a DIY widebody? That'd look way more apocalypse versus Rocket Bunny flares.
Chris, make a proyect about making a go-kart. For example, take the chasis of a scrap Hot-Rod, make a cage and enjoy!
Like the roadkill c4 or c5( I cant remember) corvette
J Cameron because it matches with the b is for built content, but he can use some other cars, not the c4/5. Remember when the evora was teardown, It was like a go-kart.
