Holy Cow!! Great work, great detail. Next time, when you fire the motor, could you please silence the tunes? I want to hear that aluminator!!! Thank you - - - - What a beauty!!
Thank you for the great comment. I really appreciate it. I have many other videos with the sound of the engine. New one coming soon as a matter of fact.
i've been trying to talk my dad in going in on a build and his excuse is always not having a dedicated shop space.... dude built this in his two car garage with nothing special but time and attention to detail. Excellent job.
Awesome project! I took the easy way out and ls swapped my Miata, but at some point I really want to stick the drivetrain from my car into a factory 5 coupe and this was a huge inspiration
Sounds good, but bit of warning, Chevy engines in these daytonas/cobras don't sell well, it's not a problem if you intend to keep it, but keep that in my if you ever think in the future you'd want to sell it.
Thanks for all the content! This whole process has been a blast to watch! I've really wanted to build one of these or the cobra for some time, and watching this process has made it seem way less daunting. As sacrilegious as it would probably be, Im leaning towards a mach-e crate engine or a similar, especially with regulations and seeing future improvements in those systems. Im thinking it would make a lovely unique daily driver with an electric, with some track ability. Whereas this system the DD aspect might be a bit harder. I think a cool concept video would be that now you've completed it, some "lessons learned." I think early on you mentioned you had also build a cobra earlier. So some of the things you've learned from both builds. If you were building another what would you have done differently? what are some must have tools? what did you think would have been a good idea that turned out to not be so good? what far off idea surprised you? what would you recommend people save their money on? stuff like that.
Amazing brother, came out beautifully, enjoyed myself watching it, Thank you for going through the steps with us, maybe i miss heard, How long was the building process??
Thank you for watching and commenting. It was ready to drive in a little over six months. Dmv crap took a couple and then drove it in primer for many months before paint. So within a year it was done.
This was my second kit from Factory Five so I guess that tells you what I think. They aren’t perfect but after seeing some other brands I think they are the easiest to assemble, plus you have the amazing group on the factory five forum to assist in any way. Like a family.
Dude, watch his other build videos in his channel if you don't like the background music. Obviously the point of this video was just to give you fun taste of what goes into making one of these cars
@@mattwalker8709 Dude, who asked you? And it was constructive feedback for the next time this guy decides to make a video. Way too many videos have been made with overpowering soundtracks and this is one of them. Want more likes? Tone down the music. It's common knowledge at this point. If you don't like this guy's comment, go watch some other video this guy didn't comment on. This is a good video except for the way overuse of music.
Can't even finish the video. This is for car guys, right? Music was annoying the whole time, at least be smart enough to cut the music so we can hear the motor
I welded in some of the type R race tubing. Is it needed, no but I figured why not. I always paint aluminum as I hate the oxidized aluminum look. Just me being over the top. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Engine Transmission Wheels and tyres Paint Brake components, sometimes But all can be included if you have a donor car, example 1995 mustang 5.0 for a daytona
I wanted to make the chassis more like the R model but still useable on the street. The r model has side intrusion bars and the windshield bars. I welded in all but those two items. Plus the CHp said they would register with the windshield bars.
@@cobradaytonabuild1671what do you believe would be the biggest pitfall for someone attempting? I've been kicking around the idea of a project car for a while.
Not sure which generation you are referring to. Gen 1 and 2 had the original ladder style frame but the gen 3 is a modern space frame that’s well built.
This was confusing, The video starts out with TIG welding!! A voice over narrative would have been much more helpful than the music. My wife and I are waiting for our type 65 coupe and hoped to find some tips and explanations. Thanks.
If you MUST put in a music track, at least make it barely audible. No one, and I mean NO ONE watches automotive (or motorcycle, boat, airplane, helicopter, etc) videos to listen to music and not everyone has the same or even similar musical tastes. JUst comment on what you're looking at or doing. That's a lot more useful to us car guys than whatever music your wife or kid chose to back the video with. You'll get more likes by following this advice. It's constructive. Don't take it personally like 98% of people FEEL the NEED to. Not everything is a commentary on your soul.
