Welcome to Nearly Finished - a celebration of all the projects I have nearly finished over the past 25 years. This time however, it's going to be different. I will be showing how I go about finally getting these all to a stage of being finished. These projects include my V12 Roadster, a car I've created from scratch, my heavily modified Triumph GT6, my various VR simulators, my 6.0 Litre V12 Jaguar XJRS, my Vincent MPH and many more.
Thanks for the comments Buddy! The song at the end is called Zombiestomp - I licensed it from Audio Jungle years ago, but I don't think it's on there anymore... its a great song!
Very interesting concept you have going on there. and a great title for your channel. I will be following your journey. I have my own "nearly finished" project car but it's not quite as ambitious as yours. Mind you It is within the Gentry group. as I am aiming for one of the best 1955 MGTF replica cars with the exception of the engine (straight 6 Vitesse) and the dashboard which will be a copy of the Naylor TF 1700.
I love the splitter/radius on the front part of the wings. Helped change the fenders from big flappy elephant ears to more of a fender with a cool "hey check that out!" Bits on the bottom. A job well done. Again glad I found you and this build.
Love your design process! I genuinely take my hat off to those that can draw detailed plans, then build to them but I just can’t do it. For me, like you I think, it’s more of an organic process, make a start and work it out from there.
I used to know an artist who painted a huge "Never Ending Painting." She kept changing it over and over again. She was "never" going to finish it. She said it was therapy.
Have just found your build , and am thoroughly enjoying such a nice build. I would put the bulge across the front as IMHO adds a depth of style to the front finish. Keep up the good humor and the good work. Waiting for the next episode to fly in.
Found your channel thanks to the almighty algorithm remembering that I too am planning a scratch build. Great work so far and enjoying the presentation. I'd go with the bulge as it's in your original design and quite frankly, who doesn't like a nice bulge 😁. Chin up, keep at it and remember..... No matter how many times you need to fix your "mistakes", you'll still be finished and driving before Binky 😎👍
A bit of shape to the bottom would be cool. Not just a bulge on the lip but if it tapered up and in towards the grill so the part of the wing that actually covers the wheel protrude forward of the rest of the wing.
Love the videos mate. I'm in much the same situation with my Locost/Lotus7 replica built that has been going on for about 18 years. Interrupted by house moves, 3 kids and other car projects. I've always loved the 20/30's style of car and would like to build something similar one day. Keep up the good work!
buldge for a slightly added strength - and even better AERO ! look`s smashing thank you keep on going . in australia we have the LS v12 - super big power !
Why bulge when it’s going to be covered visually by a bumper of sorts? Just my thinking. I am enjoying this build and am looking forward to each update as you get closer to the finished vehicle.
Since your wings don't have the drastic curve back toward the grill as in the thumbnail, the bulge would probably increase rigidity and help keep them from deflecting as much. Might even look good making the bulge a separate piece that ties both sides together with a chin in the middle. Could make it a bolt on piece with formed tubing to add strength.
I have definitely been "inspired" by Morgan, and my Vincent MPH also looks very much like that too, but my car is much bigger than a Plus 8, has a "proper" roof lol and a V12. Morgan never had a V12 in any of their cars...
What a great build my friend, as previously mentioned the design of the car in the picture is amazing, id do my very best to try and stay with that , personally for me it looks its a bit bulbous the way you have changed either way ill keep watching 👍
Just found this build 9 minutes ago. Humor is pretty good. The car looks beautiful. And for the lower wings I think the bulge gives the front a bit of an aerodynamic look. Without them the front lust looks like a massive bloated flutterby aka butterfly 🦋 I'm subbing to this channel for the humor and of course this build.
Great presentation and choice of music👍🏻. Would I be right if Once upon a time comes into it? And did you hear the narrator in Crufts 2020 freestyle final….sounds just like you!
Catching up .... because I apparently was under a rock.... OVER THE TOP KOOL build ! Addicted now... is an under statement!! "I personally like the bulge a, chin spoiler of sorts to help with the flow of aero dynamics. Plus aggressive in looks.
Well... You asked for comment... looking very nice, but the lower wing fronts (in my opinion) need wasting, as the front has too much visual mass. perhaps have them shorter with the line rising from the radiator surround and curving towards the tyre, Also how about indents/recesses for the headlights, and having the head lights in a bowl (i.e. classic stand alone units). I love the project... it just looks visually very heavy at the front... perhaps some more finesse, in line with the rest of the build ????
Hiya - it's all no-copyright stuff from various sources. The final tune is called Zombiestomp and I licensed it years ago, but couldn't find a good place to use it until now...
