Total professional shop. One thing I've learned in my own home shop is to keep it clean and organized. That environment puts me in a frame of mind to do a good job. I know, things get scattered when you're working. I just make it a point to pick up and clean up every day. Just makes the next day start better.
For that side vent to allow air flow to the engine. I would have just cut the top, bottom & by the rear wheel well. Leave the side by the door intact. Bend the metal inward, then add fabricated pieces to it for the finished look.
I am new to this channel. Love the Corsair build concept but especially appreciate the skill, craftsmanship and the amalgamation of form and function. These guys rock.
High praise, we're fortunate to have gotten to know Jim and Mike over the years at shows, and they're great friends. Their work has inspired everyone in our shop for years.
Lookin' good , It may never get rained on or heavily washed being a show car , but water drainage is gonna be paramount in the radiator plenum, especially as it is acting as a firewall too... The back deck lid should be interesting . Great work, Looking forward to the build videos ....
Scott, I like that idea of yours to channel the body, my only concern is getting air to cool the back brakes. As you were talking, you mentioned something about racing this vehicle, and depending on what size tires you run with, that's going to heat up those brakes. How about splitting that piece inside the wheel hub/cavity and screening it with a brake duct? Just a thought, like doing this is not hard enough, hehehe. Good work so far guys!
Great build going on.. Why not start the internal curve in the door, bit like Ferrari does.. Or possibly split the rad into 2 at the inlet then vent the air down under car or across trunk floor and vent out discreetly behind rear bumper/valance.. going to be a cool build which ever way you go.. Well done guys, loving the coverage and lack of drama..
N8R H8R. If you know, you know. hahaha! Love this freakin' build. Hoping you guys stick to the Yenko color scheme. White with blue stripes would be true homage but anything you guys do will be badass. That ram air is fucking sick!
These are some of the most highly skilled metalsmiths and designers in the business, someone send this episode to " BAD CHAD", maybe he can learn something about real skill, and what true greatness looks like, since he's butchering a 34 Dodge
