TIP: Make yourself a set of polyurethane runners to mount to the frame rails on the bottom of the car. They'll make contact instead of the bottom of your frame and bodywork. I just used rivnuts in the frame rails and countersunk the holes in the polyurethane runners. On my Factory Five GTM the bodywork wraps around the frame on the outside at the rocker panels and would hit first. Even if your body isn't the lowest point, it will save your under panels and frame.
For me, this is what RU-vid is all about. As a creative, practical person (although not with cars!) I just love watching people who are brilliant at what they do, finding solutions and building their vision into reality. I'm sure most people in these comments agree. I just love it, and spend far too much time watching it! The project looks sensational, Jack. Can't wait to see it all come together.
I can understand selling them separately. You might not need two per jack.. just depends on your application. I can see plenty of cases where you'd need to make your own top or bottom mounts but can still use the prefab ones in one of the mounting locations
Jack can't say it's their fault. He is making a commercial for them. It should come in two, otherwise the company should ask about the application and give solid professional advice. #oopsie
Went to website it shows you need two brackets to mount but you can use a combination of two different mounts if you want to. Or they have a third type of mount which is cylindrical
@@rustymonaro184 makes sense but I believe If I was trying to advertise my business like they were here I would have made sure he had all the parts to make the company and its customer service look better.
Can we just appreciate his much better Jack's editing skills are getting? I used to fast forward some of the content, but more and more videos are starting to flow better. Well done!
Appreciate it! Balancing my work schedule on both channels and family time along with editing has been tricky and caused me to miss little things here and there
You would have thought the company would have picked up on 3 jacks but only 3 brackets and contacted you to double check. A RU-vidr in U.K. has a noble build but not much progress so I love watching your build. Great content
its really obvious this was testing your patience and you wanted more progress.. so i thank you for a positive attitude and a hard work ethic because i appreciate seeing this side of content no matter how slow or frustrating it was to create. the juice was worth the squeeze!👍
Love the attention to detail and perfection. No rushing to get a project finished just for views and cutting corners. Well done jack on the channel love the content
Tips for you from when I worked on a race team. Have a valve setup for your airline to the air jack connection, so you can regulate the air pressure if needed. Which will help for this tip. We had double safety stands, so you can get under the car if needed. Basically a triangular stand that had a slider. You Jack the car up, use the triangular stand, lower the car on it, slide in the brace, then raise the car again and use the safety stand that you showed in the video. Voila extra height. Granted we used this when we were at the track and didn’t have access to a lift but something to think about.
Great work Jack, your fabrication skills always amazes me. Can't get my head around how those air jacks will work. Why 3 and not 4, one per corner? Are they effectively air ride suspension or are they purely to lift the car off the ground when stationary i.e. so wheels are off the ground? Despite living in the UK, I have never been to Goodwood. Really must go, it looks great. Keep up the amazing work Jack!
Watching your work is seriously making me miss being out in the shop fabricating. I'm not in a place right now to get to work on my stuff but hopefully again one day I'll have a shop.
Jack love the idea of air jacks, I suggest you should try to close off the brackets at the back of the car to avoid rust from rain water being trapped in the brackets. This is just a small thing i thought of if it helps you make the car impeccable
Umm, once you get the axles, hubs, wheels, suspension, etc, on installed, are those jacks going to lift it high enough to service the wheels? Considering there will be some suspension travel and the height the car will sit with all the steering parts, height of wheels, suspension components, springs, etc, are installed, installing the jacks seemed premature?
This was my thought as well. With the jacks down is there even enough height for tires as is? The jacks seem located too low to me. I hope I'm wrong and Jack is right but...
Love watching your progress. Best part so far was watching you lift the car the first time with the air jacks! So happy! So much energy. Keep it up. Can't wait for the next video.
Jack, I just subscribed yesterday. Today is my birthday, I had the day off so... I've been spam watching your "Supercar" series to get caught up. I just finished the last video., now I get to watch the newest video to finish my spam watching endeavor. I'm glad to be viewing and having subbed up, I'm anxious to see how this all ends. Congratulations, sir. Here ya go!
Nice one jack, air jack are cool. I would maybe consider a bit of reinforcement on the front jack, maybe some gussets or something. Also ifyou need a bit of inspiration for the hardlines, have a look at tj hunts m4 gt3 build. The fittings he used looked really solid and i think they were off the shelf. Keep it up, love it, currently my favourite build on youtube.
Just subscribed from the bmw m3 that was super totaled on the rear left quarter panel you did a great job man I loved it when he called you and asked if it was repairable and you laughed and then said "anything is repairable" I loved that man true mechanics at their primes
Is there a way to make the air jacks lift in a more synchronized manner? Would be better for the longevity of everything - and would look better too, if the frame wasn't rocking and twisting when operating the jacks! Some valves, pressure regulators or something?? The car will be do amazing once "done" ❤
You have to pay special attention to a very symmetrical hose layout, it needs to be as mirrored as possible left and right and of course hooked up parallel. When that first steps done, make sure to add adjustable flow valves to the (if there is one! ) Air outlet of the cylinder to fine tune the performance.
ive only ever seen one of these cars in person and it was a stock body. They are AMAZING. build on another level. so unique. I cant express how excited i am to see this bad boy come to life
i was already excited for this build but since you revealed the render of the finished car last time i am even more hyped, i can't wait to see it finished, it's gonna look so sick.
You and me both! But building a car that has zero bolt on mods and needs everything to be reworked takes time but honestly I feel confident that it’ll be done rather quickly for this caliber of build
@@TheKoolaidekidd Good point. He may have both rear ones hooked to the same line, but unequal length lines will still cause more air restriction to the rear ones. You can fix it either by using equal length lines or regulators. Like I said, it doesn't really matter, but I'm used to applications where precision timing is crucial.
So much joy from air lift,try to explain that to female🤣🤣🤣 Awesome job Jack ❤️🔥💪🤟 Also sidenote,is it possible to do video with 2 finished section,it would be better to see two in a video, thanks and keep up the good work ❤️🔥
I would suggest a pressure regulator, so it can feed all three jacks at the same time with the same pressure. That way you eliminate any risk of it lifting one side before the others, which could damage one of the lifts.
Not sure about the single ram on the front, no weight and it’s already rocking, you’ll have to lay on the floor to reach the centre Jack to put the safety device on it in case of air lose, looks amazing but think I’d have done 2 front 2 rear, but loving the build!
Quick pointer to make your videos really really really really really really cool: cut down on using ‘really really really’. Tavarish really really really really loves the phrase really really really as well 😅
Fantastic job with the jack, Jack lol so as one who hates on Subaru, what did you think of Scott Speeds Subaru having a best speed just fractions of a second slower than the 1st place 😆
Great build....one of these crashed years ago just a mile down the road from me on the slightest of bends....My Dads friend lived at a cottage next to said bend and heard the crash/explosion and rushed out to help but it was end game sadly.
Cool. Is there a way to make the air jacks more synced - so the car lifts evenly at all corners at the same rate and time? If not, it's not a big deal as it still is very cool. I was only thinking it that it would look more refined and inline to the bespoke level of detail your putting into this build. 🙂
Jack thats awesome! Do you think the front cross members where the air jack is mounted needs gusseting? I know theres not a huge amount of weight but repeated strain on that bar may crack the powder coat (or worse) but awesome progress!
