hoping for quick recovery for your son. It means a lot to us all that you've taken the time to share this week with us.
It would be easy to take these updates for granted because they are like clockwork every Sunday, but I never do as I know how hard it must be to create, edit and publish this high quality of content week in, week out. Awesome work and fascinating as ever 🙂
I couldn't agree more. Well done... again!
Can't see how employing someone to do something they are good at, is hard work 🤷♂️ also notice the title "uncut" this means not edited
@@superchickensoup they still have to edit in all the glam and B roll shots, it’s a lot of filming behind the scenes to follow people working etc. sure it’s not hugely impressive if it’s their full time role but it’s still nice to appreciate the work
@@superchickensoupPeople are not born 'good at' something; they have to put in hours of hard work to achieve excellence. Whichever way you slice it, hard work is involved somewhere.
@@superchickensoup you think it wasnt edited together at all?! 🤣
Wow ,
those escort guards are a work of art , fantastic to see it all done old school with no bog fillers , craftsmen with an amazing skill set
Hey Nat, hope your son makes a full recovery.
Here we go coffee in hand sitting comfortably Sunday night treat thanks fellas ! 🏴👍🏻👏👏👏
Most RUclips videos get boring after 10-15 minutes….. i could watch these for hours , its fascinating all the fabrication and details that you guys get in to ….. keep up the good work and keep the videos coming too !
Wishing your son the best. That is what is important.
Apologies for the standard definition video - we are working to resolve this.
Hope your lad is OK and on the road to a swift recovery. I'm sure most of us wouldn't of minded you missing a weeks video. So thanks for taking the time for this vid. Sterling work as usual guys.
Poor Stu, that Churchill Jag must be driving him nuts!
Hope the boy is ok, Nat
That Camaro is going to be stunning.
It would be really interesting to get some commentary on how you manage the vehicle registration and radically altered vehicle requirements. Do you IVA all the cars and doesn’t that result in a Q plate? How does it work?
Hope your son gets well soon,Cal!
I guess there are 23 people that missed the "Like-button"... Great video as usual. Owning just one of those cars would make anyone proud.
I suppose you blokes are fully aware that NO-ONE in the world does "restomods" to the standards you demand of yourselves. Your company is utterly unique, as are your videos, I can't imagine the length of your waiting list.
Once again, hats off to Stu and Tom, if I could have my life over again, I would be a sheet metal fettler.
I am sure Singer does, but they only do 911s
A big statement!…based on opinion.
@@banjopete Others build to a formula, these guys change the plan on the fly. Do you know anyone else who hot gals the body? Who redesigns suspensions because they're "not happy with it"? Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one and most are full of shite.
Awesome as Always... great Vid .Sry to hear about your son. hope he recovers quickly,
As always great episode but remember the Greeks designs for pillars .......don,t be a slave to the laser
Boxster hinges may be something to start with on the Jensen. They come out as they hinge up
I find your videos so interesting, always looking forward to the next one, thanks so much !!
Loving the CV8. The renders from yonks ago, if they are accurate, will make this look spectacular!
Churchill coming along nicely. Hope your son is okay.
magic stuff
And another great video, I can’t wait to see Churchill progress, such a wonderful wonderful car !! Have you already told the color of Churchill ?! Just wondering…
Pretty much every time you guys say "h vac" I hear "8 track". Its not at all confusing... 😄
I noticed that one of the lads was doing some lead work on the Escort. Given that lead vapour is nasty stuff I wondered why he wasn't using a mask to avoid breathing it in.
There are synthetic lead loading substitues available now which work well. Vapour isnt 'as bad' as breathing in powdered lead from sanding but im inclined to agree with you!
Great video 👍 In regards to the location of the ECU and pdm etc on the MK2 jaguar could you use the rear quarter panels as a mounting point.
Just curoius,why the step-down to 720p for your content guys?
Thinks - What engine can Cal squeeze into his cabin baggage?
Can’t help thinking that centre console on the land cruiser needs a tray for your phone. It’s got usb charging but nowhere for mr phone.
Perfect is not good enough, that's also my standard.
Nat I hope your young bloke is OK mate.
Where the heck is the prodafied E type???
👌🏽
Hi there I have question for you I have 83 944 Porsche looking to engine swap it out with V8 what would be the easiest way to do this first time doin it I have all the sill redone and floor fully cooked in 👍
I am not an expert on NSU. But I know you can treat it with antibiotics. 😂😂
I hate to be a party pooper but.... I find the Jensen a bit of a head-scratcher. It is about as original as your grandfather's axe now. I get the idea of restomod and how items like engine/brakes/suspension may be upgraded but seriously is there anything of the original car still here? (And crashworthiness doesn't bear consideration.)
why would that matter? it certainly still looks like a now very straight CV8. And it has a very cool, and also straight carbon body. I understand how that would crumple differently than the original fiberglass, but what exactly is your point? are you suggesting they should have built it from scratch without the use of the mold they made? they did need the original as a donor to make a proper, and straight mold.
The original was made of scrap, spit, sawdust and baler twine. Their version is way better! Crash protection from a proper carbon shell like they have made will be way better than the original as well. If you want an NCAP rating then you drive something modern. All classics are death traps compared to modern crash boxes.
I'm a petrolhead and knew nothing of the Jensen CV8 until I saw this. I suspect that it's going to be uber cool, as only viewers of this channel would ever know how non-standard it really is, despite being customised to the nth degree.
The escort arches are dreadful. Reminds me of when guys started grafting golf arches and the like onto mk1s . Absolutely gash . Not matter how well it’s done . Like something that’s crashed into Halfords shop window
Normally I only fast forward through most of the second half of these posts/updates, this week it was the whole post/update... I don't need to be told the same thing 3 times... 🙄
Example... "Tom is working on the panel gaps for this car"... end of.... no one needs to know EVERY SINGLE panel gap there is on a car !!! 🙄
I skip the Escort segments...boy, all that work and dedication into something that is just cheap stodge!!
If thats the case, are you really sure this is the channel for you?
Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he’s well now 👌👌👌
