240z Wheel Wells Finished, Seam Sealed, and Panels Paint Prepped 

idk, i think he realized how bad it would reflect on him going to SEMA with an unfinished car.

you ever see the chuckles garage diesel truck? that thing looks badass while having patina

I doubt it. Rob brought the 4 rotor only tacked welded together to prove proof of concept, all people have to do is look at the history of the car and the time frame it was worked on before it got to SEMA. SEMA is for pure enthusiasts and they would respect the work and effort in the time allotted. No shame in his game.

half-assing is half-assing, once you grow older you start to understand why quality over quantity is better..

SEMA is 99% dumpster fires vehicles don't even have to run

Truth. I've unfortunately learned this from experience. The wrap needs a smooth surface (ideally clear coat) to adhere to.

Yep. I repaired a spot on my trunk lid before wrapping, finished it with primer. It stuck notably worse to the primer. It is still firmly attached in that spot after 2 years though but I post heated everything, especially that spot.

@InfinityGraphist agreed I've sanded down primer to wrap over and it sticks no problem. where i fucked up is i used cheap ass primer and when i unwrapped the vinyl a year later the vinyl took a shit ton of primer along with it lol

Rob Dahms 4 rotor was wrapped over primer... and it’s still sticking to the car.

Clear coat the primer. Problem. Solved.

Yeah, but they're gonna line both sides.

Thats an awful big gap to fill in

Blake, widebody doesnt cover the INSIDE of the car. That gap is where the factory inner wheel well is. you know how when you look up in there on a car and see the pinch weld where two panels meet? One comes from the inner skin, and the other is the outer skin. This car only has an outer skin now, so that metal that covers it, is gone. It'll more than likely get filled in, cause im sure chris doesnt want to climb in the trunk every night and dig out rocks.

Mizino: In Over My Head. well the door that will be under the hatch will cover that. looking into the car you wont see it. I assume this car wont be driven much before sema so im certain that it’s a low priority to fix right now since it doesn’t hinder the car visually or performance wise.

Yea that is bugging me too, gonna get all kinds of shit in the cabin... don’t do any burnouts all the smoke will fill the cabin instantly

I said the same thing but i thinl thats where the wide bod kit covers

How would it cover the inside...? But no, pretty much every car has a gap to the outside like that. Sometimes there are panels that just get screwed in to cover that. And the inner wheel well metal covers that from factory, connects the inner and outer skin and seals it, but since it was all cut out there is nothing there.

No car I have ever owned has a gap in the wheel well to the outside other than rubber drain grommets. That includes a 1964 Hillman..

Lie? A real job? You think what he does isn't hard? Holy shit it's hard, sure he gets to do what he enjoys by building cars and doing dumb shit, but the logistics around it are a job within themselves. If you have an issue with the free content, move along man.

Not to mention he has to be an video editor, do marketing, do the work of a mechanic and body shop guy, and be a host. Chris has to do several jobs very well to achieve success. He left app development to work his ass of even harder

Yeah....

No beadroller tho

@@kirkarvint.2017 they aren't crazy expensive for the vise mounted ones

That's why he's painting now

Yes, it's the right way to do it but why get into details at this point?

Need a rotisserie

It's super popular atm. IMO Hera Mica blue from BMW would look good on this. Also blue is dominant color on BMW and Datsun badges. ;)

Yes, I agree. Any BMW factory colour would really suit the build.

That BMW blue is gorgeous....I think it would look great on the Z

Did you already comment it on another vid or was it someone else ?

With the signature bmw color strips on the front grille!!

more importantly, buys a 370z which is the same car essentially as the g35

He said the g35 was too dangerous because after the crash, traction control basically got disabled until he changed some electronic stuff. So it was kinda sketchy in the rain. This car will probably have traction control, and he won't drive in the rain, or at least not as stupidly has he did with the g35.

I reckon it'll weigh about 1 tonne if not slightly over

its definitely over 2k pounds

Probably around 3000lbs

I was wondering the same thing

He should get a prenup before he does that

@@datalorian meh comments aren't that bad

if the reason you won't marry someone is because of some random asshole on the internet then you need to reevaluate your life lol

Seriously

Absolutely!

I feel like a bmw colour of some kind would be cool.

Black cherry wrap would be so good imo...

Nah screw bmw colours, the core is bmw, exterior should be datsun. Nonetheless though the car is blatantly going to be some neutral colour (Grey/Black/White maybe....) but I hope not.

Yup. I was there last year.
