In this episode on Tekniq, we will observe the manufacture of vintage jeep bodies at MD Juan Enterprises, Inc. - A local Philippine factory still conducting most of the build by hand.
Thanks, the finished product looks good. At least they had safety gear on, maybe only for the video, but it looks safe enough compared with some I have seen. Good to see such hard working people making things, many western countries have lost their manufacturing skills.
in the u.s. I think we have too much safety. safety sallies go overboard on some things. but that guy spray painting without googles is very unhealthy.
@@milanazteco9196 The price was almost 600K. I paid P300K as down payment to start the production. It'll be up by July this year or 3 months from the down payment.
Those people are smart. Take something that is simple and super cool and make them and sell them. Those skilled labor guys are just as good as robots and automation without having to invest billions.
My buddy's next door neighbor had a real WW2 Jeep, and one thing I noticed is the metal is thick. Apparently they used 18 gauge for the floor and 16 gauge for the rest. Modern cars use 20 gauge (higher number is thinner), these reproductions look like probably 22 gauge. So it looks good, but it's a pale shadow of the original in terms of the material they're using.
Yep, but not all steal are alike. A modern factory would be using higher grade steal with higher carbon content. This is likely Chinese steal which is softer and rusts easier.
If you look at the side of the car, its all straight sheet metal. That is why they were using thicker metal, the sedans and other SUV do not need that because of the corrugated designs.
No weld through primer, no etch primer, no rustproofing, no seam sealer, stiffener channels underneath not wood filled like the original, top coat straight to bare metal. Lots of room for improvement, and that's only the body tub.
@@JeffreyRust-oq7rw If I was younger, I would renovate an original MB, but the cost of these things now in the UK is prohibitive. It's good that they keep making parts and copies, but the quality leaves much to be desired.
Sejak dulu saya selalu mengikuti md juan, saya senang melihat proses prodoksi mobil jeep Willys saya suka meski dikerjakan secara primitif/ handmade, biarkan mereka menertawai dan mengatakan ini bajakan mereka gak tahu ini di negara Philippines asia tenggara yg notabene sekutu Amerika.
back in the day jeep and Ford built jeeps 4 ww2 they had a low gear and a sub low the old jeeps pulled good that was the way they were made back then 😊😊 OMG 5 9 2O24
Yes it is made in the Philippines by Pinoys 😸👍 world war 2 jeeps left by the Americans were converted into public transport and now called jeepneys here. Try Google jeepneys 👍😸
I am sure these Jeep can last forever seeing the good way they are built. What’s about engine and gearbox ? A recreational véhicule strong and funny. If they switch to electric motor they can develop a good international recreational industry.
Very interesting. This is what production looks like when the pay for human work is worth nothing... or when it is worth a lot, and the product is very, very expensive and they call it "craft" or "limited edition", such as Bugatti cars. What is our situation here?
somewhere in between. the factory is Philippines, makes a large selection of jeep/4x4 replacements- panel to complete shells, and sell all over the world. they are stocked by many of the specialist jeep part suppliers in the USA even. there isn't enough production run to have assembly lines that can't be quickly reconfigured.
The hardhats and gloves these guys have on are brand spanking new and never been worn ha. They wouldn’t be wearing that stuff normally. I’ve been to the Philippines.
The worst I saw was a guy painting the bodies without eye protection. His eyesight is a minute to minute proposition - and his respirator looked suspiciously fresh out of the box as well.
Não verdade esse é o jipe. É um fora de estrada. Primeiro modelo fabricado em 12/09/1040 na Pensilvânia EUA. Agora é a jeep que está fabricando o lendário jipe?
