'Porsche 356 Progress...Finally!' | Barn-Find Porsche 356 Restoration | Episode 10 

Please carry on with these 'digestible' size clips!

Love to see any progress at all on the 356. Little progress is much better than now progress. Keep it up!🙂

I love that you took the RU-vid comments to heart and bought the expensive bits, and lubricated before drilling.

Lovely, to see the excitement Dom has almost like a kid in a candy store👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ll bet back in the day they’d love to have that plasma cutter, just shows how things have moved on.

Short updates are good Dom 👍

I'd rather see this than "nothing at all". Keep up the great work and sharing.

Just keep on with the little clips keep up the great work 20:13

I like 20 minute vids, they don't take too much out of my day. A 45 minute vid is good but it's a hefty chunk of time to commit to.

Welcome to the xtreme club

Shorts are good,especially in warm weather👍😁

These lengths of video are ideal Dom. That was interesting, thanks.

I enjoy seeing any progress at all, no matter how small. Really enjoying this project. Keep up the great work Dom.

These are great videos, appreciate all the time it takes to film and edit.

Dom do whatever best for you and we will keep watching

Small updates get my vote. Thanks Dom!

I’m in the process of rebuilding my own 356A. It is a long slog but this was my first car. My son and a friend of his are helping me as I don’t bend that easily. Love watching the progress keep it up. 20:41

Third time is ALWAYS the charm

Great start :) Worth looking at using proper CAD to draw the profiles, you can then print a 1:1 on paper before committing to cutting steel (I design sheet metal products for a living and still do this to check my profiles are good). I use SolidEdge at work and they offer the 2D version as a free license. Its parametric too so you can dimension stuff up and move it about as you work on it.

small bits are best please it shows me the skills and bits of progress, glad to watch this one

All updates long or short are very much enjoyed.

Great to see an update - keep chipping away!

Brilliant, Dom! The world's yer lobster when you get a CNC machine, whatever medium you work in. I've got mine for wood and plastics. Loving the short update and watching the parts develop.

Hi Dom , Well you can only be in one place at a time so do what you can at the time you have available. Also i do love Repair shop. Have a good trip,

Well done!

It’s great it’s the Porsche. Yes one panel dune. Just keep going like that and you will get there. Wish I was closer to you would be glad to help make panels. Just keep with updates when you can. Progress is progress big👍

A little progress and often please! CNC table is a godsend.

Long or short don't matter all vids are worth watching either on this channel or repair shop got all on to record or notification bell pressed 🔔👍

Little and often is great for me, maybe then you could pull the 2/3 short videos together as one long recap for each section you complete. That way you if you named the long video for example “N/S rear quarter inner wing repair” you could easily find it should you need to go back and reference any areas you forget about when rebuilding, great work and keep it up!

You can print the outline on a normal printer on paper at 1:1 to check alignment first. But love your work, Dom.

small bits of progress whould be lovely!

Absolutely awesome! For all practical effects you are basically reverse engineering the car as you peel layers of panels. Great idea to save the files; you could probably manufacture and sell all those hard to find panels.

Small progress is fine with me, good result on that panel

Love the short updates!

Well done Dom,brilliant work. Super bit off kit. Just don’t sit on that table!! Reminds me of a scene from Goldfinger.!!

Do small bits. I learned a lot today. Now i know how to make a round edge 😀

The plasma machine is awesome !

Really interesting Dom. I would prefer the frequent updates as they make me feel more closely involved. If you ever want to do a show on restoring a classic when you have no clue how - give me a shout; BSA Bantam in bits for the last 20 odd years and not a scooby! Thanks again Dom, look forward to your posts every week.

Anything at all. I feel you should do what you can fit in, not what we'd like. You're so clever making that panel. You're endless positivity is a joy too. Thank you.

Loving the short clips. Makes it so much more real. Great to meet you on my tool stall at Faversham Market.

Glad your back on the 356 Dom , Hopefully move on a bit more well done

My son would love to come and have a go with you new plasma cutter.

Great to get a Porsche update. Length was great and if it means more content please stick to the short format.

It's back!!

Keep up the good work the short episode I would prefer👍

Like the small digestible clips, yes!

Dominic I have been doing a lot of work on boats and tried all sorts of de-rust treatments and stabilisers. What I finally settled on are products by Owatrol. They have the ability to penetrate rust including pitting. Because it's oil based it also helps to seals off not completely removed rust particles. I expect the secret of Owatrol is its ability to penetrate deeply. Since then I have also used it for friends with old cars to prevent further rusting. It's a good base for oil based primers. I am not saying it is the best but I have had very good results with it specifically in a marine, salty environment. Having a can at the repair shop might also be a good idea.

It is always a pleasure seeing Dominic display his skills in a "no frills" style. A true craftsman.

of course we want to see everything about the 356. 🙂

Hi Dom, That was exciting, just brilliant, Just keep doing what you do , slow is good 👍, All the best Brian 😃

Love the new MACHINE ❤

Small progress please Dom, great episode! That's why wheeler dealers was so popular, not the silly acting, it was the repair shop detail that was put in. I'll be watching 👍

I can just enjoy watching you so loved this. But please no more flower snows

Great job. Good to see progress, and yes, I'd like to see short updates when you get the time rather than nothing at all. Also, it's great to see your new toy (the plasma cutter) being useful in the fabrication process so soon after you getting it.

Anything dom will do.

Excellent. Very cool how you made that part. You were talking about rust and how acid gets rid of rust. I watch another RU-vidr minute of dangle He takes the whole car bodies and lowers them into a caustic bath to remove the paint. Then another bath of acid to remove rust. The whole car body in submerged.

Small digestible clips please! This is awesome. Keep it up!

Any progress videos would be good irrespective of length. Good job.

Appreciate seeing all progress

Short vids are good, do what you can as and when. 👍

Steady progress is fine mate 👍🏻👍🏻

This typ in between! Thanx mate.

Great video as normal Dom. The shorter format updates are fine by me. They’ll compliment the longer ones perfectly! 😁👍

Any small update is fine, carry on!

Both are good to watch. Thanks.

Dear Dominic, Weilemann Reparaturbleche, they have your your missing piece for about 35 €, still have my full sympathy and support for your efforts. My T2 is a bit in a better shape but still is need for a full restoration, best Alexander

Love the small segment

Carry on with progress videos

Yes please love the updates

I would use a 1" belt sander to removed the spot-welds so not to go into the back panel. Also MUCH faster😃

Yeah, another "Project Zippy" video. 👍😃

Love to see your “mini” updates- so much work!

All your content is good and enjoyable. All ways worth a watch. I never miss it.

The short updates are great and actually fit better into my schedule.

Using CAD software such as FreeCAD , you can import a photo of the item and adjust the scale to be correct and then use it to trace the design. This is ideal for flat sections like this. You can even draw datum points on the item before taking a photo i.e. a 100mm horizontal line , so you can get the scale perfect. The CAD software can also calculate folded sections for you. The plasma cutter software will be able to import the CAD software output. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xidvQYkC4so.html The plasma cutter needs a pen attachment so you can do a dry run on cardboard and not cut out 3 examples before you get it right.

Let us see all the nity gritty bits, it shows us mortals what can be easily missed 😉 😊😅

Wurth a name I've never heard of, thanks Dom.

I vote YES on showing the little stuff. It gives the detail and thought process you put into each operation. It's like we're there fir all of it. Bang On! as you say.

I'm loving these little eps on the 356. So satisfying to watch the progress!

Very happy with short updates, this is what real life restorations are all about.

Very interesting . I'm investing in one of those plasma cutting machines.

Love the bite size clips

Yes any bits and bobs you can give us on the Porsche 356 restoration are much appreciated and the reason why I watch your channel.

Dom, any and all work on this beauty is appreciated.. what ever fits your schedule!

I've watched a few videos of people using plasma cutters @Urchfab specifically on the Xtreme plasma table. One thing that did strike me was the holes, they seem to start the pass a little bit inside the wasted part of the hole to stop blowing out the edge.. Just an observation. Great work good to see progress on the dream car 👍🏼

Love watching these

More Porsche is very welcome

Short updates are fine. Thanks.

Keep up the good work Dom. Little Progress on the 356 is better than none. Rome wasn't built in 1 day

Car will be lovely when done with no nasties covered up. My attention keeps being drawn to that smashing bike in the background, hope you talk about it some time😂

Hi Dom, this was a great mini update ! - These smaller update videos of individual projects will ultimately provide RU-vid viewers with a much clearer understanding of what is required to be done during the restoration. Thank you for your time and consideration of your viewers. - Cheers {John - UK}

Just carry on as you are dom . Thank you for the video 👍

The other thing I was going to suggest is that you should try drawing some baselines on the panel you are trying to draw; have a few each way at 90deg to each other. It's much easier to measure from sharp lines on the panel than guestimating the angles and distances between holes, corners etc.

Yep! Little short clips like this one are great.

Progress no matter how small is excellent viewing. How cool is that cutting machine, stuff 3D printers, that's the dog's wotsits!

Rather see short updates as you go along Cheers

Take us along for the ride. No job is too small. Most of us will never have a 356 or the opportunity to make panels for one. Great job! I run a waterjet 5 days a week. Drawing parts can be tedious @ times. Be thankful it's not a helicopter! I have to regularly recreate helicopter parts from templates and the tolerances are usually less than 0.010" between template and finished part. Hang in there and keep chipping away @ the stone. Thank you for sharing!

Stick with the full detail and relatively slow progress please. great to see the full story.

Great to see you working on the Porsche again Dom 😊

Small batches of progress is good for your viewers, growing your channel and for you to see progress happening. Win-win-win 🥳
