Follow MacroMachines on Instagram!: / macro__machines In this video I continue work in the aluminum body by making the door panels, and pieces for the boat-tail. Total hours invested now equal 1008.5
Back in an other life time, I toyed with adding a '52 F1 hood as a boat tail on a '27 Ford 4door touring (front half) but never could get the proportions to look right. Young man I continue to be impressed with your talent and dedication. Truly my pleasure to sub and follow along.
Great job. It's a joy to watch your projects. I know that making content takes time and hard work so I appreciate the effort you are putting in. Thanks for showing progress. Keep it up. 👍
The secret to forming aluminum,is to do a low heat pass over the piece that you are going to work on,it changes the molecules in the state of the aluminum to make it much easier to work with.Jesse James taught that one to me!
I still want to see wheel arches over the front wheels. Maybe some headlights on them. Would be so cool because they’d move with the wheels and would keep road debris from hitting you.
Simply amazing, I was thinking about how you could join those three but I had imagined that welding would introduce too much warping, I look forward to next episode, always.
Your little boattail would make a great kit, with all the time and effort you put into it just organize the info and sell it for your next build. You do have the use of an outstanding shop most don't have access to but you have to start somewhere. keep it up.
just found this site, first thank you for sharing,2 well made videos,3 your doing a great job building & making this ride ,, you need a big clock so we know how long it takes you on the part we watching ,thanks for sharing i like to take a ride when it done,can i drive lol
Amazing as usual. Are you going to fit a headrest/roll-over pillar behind the driver's seat? That might look cool especially if it's offset to the left to match the hump over the steering wheel.
Great to see a new episode each and every one is enjoyed immensely, I hope you and yours had a great Xmas and New year, A thought and suggestion for you as you said in this and other videos about the editing process and time it takes how about on the repetitive tasks like cutting out several pieces of metal and turning them into the finished product you only show the process once either leaving the second or 3rd etc time out allowing the viewer to get the point you made it 2,3 or more times just maybe showing the completed items before the next build process, ( a good example here is check out Rather B Welding, Chris's latest video) that will save you camera setups, repartition in editing giving you more time working on your vehicle and less time editing and more content in the long run I hope this gives you more time doing what you like and less time needed for editing Tony from Western Australia.
I'd second that suggestion but also add, it'd be nice to see at least some of each process at normal speed e.g. the beginning and end of shaping a panel at normal speed with the middle portion speeded up. I'm amazed at the skills you got for someone your age, it'd be easier to appreciate the processes at actual speed. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing it with us.
Hello I have watched a video just minutes ago when you made a tank. I’m impressed but also inspired. I would love to at least try to make one. How much did it cost you both time and dollars. And what do you need to learn about vehicles?
Dude! Clecos! Just google "Clecos" and grab some along with the cleco pliers. Temporary fasteners that replace the bolt and nuts you were using at about the 6 minute mark. Not only will that speed things up tremendously, but they also make some excellent very small clamps that are opened with the cleco pliers and are super useful and fast. Cool stuff you're working on!
Just have to say its brilliant work. You are a natural at shaping metal as making that body is not easy. Just a question but are you going to put some form of bead on the top of the door panels? It would make a nice edge, add a bit of safety and also stiffen the top edge of those panels.
You do very interesting and equally nice work. The English Wheel is a must in your project for certain. I enjoy watching your project come along. Keep them coming. I have to ask where do you get your aluminum sheets. I am looking for some, but haven't seen any place initially to buy any. Thumbs Up for sure...
All that work and talent... and you put it together with "duck tape" I would have used "flex seal" You can put side by sides together with flex seal. 🤣😂😅😃😄🤣😂
Enjoying your videos, great work being done! Curious about the white object you are forming on at about 9:45 and onwards. What material, nylon or delrin?
I look forward to the video updates. What type of band saw are you using? I am sure it is time for school. What are you studying. It should be some form of engineering. Creations are great.
Did you not want to protect between the ally angle and the panel before rivetting them together? Moisture will certainly start corrosion unless protected.
@@MacroMachines Over the long run I can see that being difficult, But it would be pretty neat seeing a basically chrome car when its done, even if it only lasts a little while.
Wehn you screw your sheet metal in place tempirarily, the bolts seem like they take a lot of time. There are these quick scres the medieval armourers on youtube use. Maybe check thwm out
@@MacroMachines Cool! BTW was just listening to the Funk track by Anders baldwin and others - and after that, the intro theme for your channel popped up. I'm a guitar player - let me know it you want you own (heavy metal) intro - check out the metal music part in this video I made a few years back: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNZLf5mN2Hw.html send me an e-mail at mikkels@writeme.com we can talk details (no payment needed) :-)
Doing a hell of a job but wish you could back off time lapse part kind of get a headache. Try show in regular speed my brains getting older hard to keep up. Lol
