Started out with a totalled bmw, a bit of a datsun shell and some steel, and end up like this. Absolutely amazing. Incredible work by everybody there. Just......superb.
So tired of hearing people bitch about this. He has to have it for SEMA. He has a deadline and TBH the quality is pretty damn good considering he is building a car from the ground up in a garage.
That's kind of unfair, it's like saying "imagine how good ______ could be if there was no budget and they had infinite time". Life always has constraints. This is exceptionally impressive considering all the constraints in place.
@@hankrearden5460I'm pretty sure MiGujack3 wasn't bitching. He was just stating that if they didn't have to rush and did a build at their own pace, their builds would be even better than what they are now. Chris has said himself numerous times that they don't have time to do things the way he really wants due to the very short deadline. I'm really impressed in what they've accomplished in the short time already and can't wait to see how it turns out and curious to see what they change and refine after SEMA.
If you haven't seen one in person they are a lot smaller then a viper. I pulled up next to one the other day and it made my Cobalt look like a monster truck.
Well there was raptorliner laying around getting old is what I read between the lines but sound deadening surely is a good thing and I would still add stuff that deadens even further. You have plenty of power so no need to worry about couple pounds..
btw, the parts under the car that mount the rear diff an front suspension, you forgot to remove and spray raptor in there, theres bare metal in the mounts. sorry for the bad english
Once Sema is over I hope this car gets more improvements like engine bay made to look better and the car gets painted properly as this car has to be one of the best builds on UA-cam especially with what you started with
Love this build, mostly tour channel, i need to see one of your videos before going to sleep otherwise it’s so boring, keep it up man, love from Portugal!
Project looks amazing and I love the sky blue color. Suggestion. It would look great if you lined the engine facing firewall with gold or silver heat shield. It would help mask those welds which look a little rough with the shiny paint.
@@robertmorales7061 intriguing thought...he did say it was an detail intensive wrap which left me wondering why, its just one colour but hey who knows haha
Robert Morales Meh, even though that’s a really cool classic livery, it’s also too played out to be put on a car like his. Not the biggest fan of a plain light blue either, but hey - not my car. :)
Just a trick I use when sanding a body (up to you Chris if you want to use it) but get a clean rag and put it over your hand and feel the car that way. A lot more easier to feel high or low spots at a early stage.
Everything is all coming together nicely despite the hiccups along the way. It's also good that you don't work when tired, ....being well rested means better focus, and that would contribute significantly to a better end product.
Best episode yet man.. I liked how on this one there was different projects going on at the same time. It's exciting to see this come together, you guys have been working your ass off.
When ever painting anything its best to actually get all body work done . That way When you spary something you dont have to be worried about contanimation from other things along with trash from other prep work. Always a step at a time and you will be happier with the results. Getting anything ready for paint means having a clean environment to get a better paint result , having water on the floor when not using a proper spray both also helps keep dust and particles down from paint. Also use a tack rag to wipe in between dry coats , dont forget to even wipe down the masked areas . You will be surprised on how much trash is on the paper .
I'm one of your oldest subscribers, and I usually don't comment on UA-cam videos. However it won't be nice of me if I don't say this that you my friend are one hardworking person. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the completion of this project!
Another great video. Glad to see that weld was complete and that you had a pro do the wrapping. That blue is gonna look real nice with the black. Also good idea with the raptor liner underneath and inside. Interior looks much better with it I think. Crazy to see where this car is now from what you started with, keep it up Chris you're doing amazing!! Can't wait for the finished product.
Ok this built ended being so much more extensive than I ever thought it would. I'm glad you're doing it that way though. Really looking forward to seeing the interior.
I hope you don't mind all the criticisms or nagging about potential mistakes, real or otherwise. It just means we want to see the car come out amazingly and holding you to a higher standard. Mostly - I guess there can still be assholes. But seriously, you're doing great on this and it's all coming together.
Hey, I work at a painting facility and I forgot to say this the other day, but I'd recommend you use something other than cardboard to mix the body filler on top of. We found that using that could allow some of the filler to soak in and then have a bad catalyst to base ratio which resulted in weaker filler throughout its lifespan.
I was thinking about the car dolly that Bad Obsession Motorsports has, and how much easier it would make the painting go. I absolutely love both builds, and while they are similar in concept, they're completely different in timeline and attention to detail. Both intriguing. I'm looking forward to the videos over the next couple of weeks. This project is really coming together.
I'm not sure if you have seen before or ever heard of paint in the spray cans you can get. Any actual paint supply store has them but it is the same stuff that you would usually spray from a gun just in a rattle can. There is a little thing on the bottom that you push and it makes the two ingredients mix inside the can. Even clear coat, it has the clear and the activator separate until u push the bottom and then they mix and you spray away!! It is awesome to use for things like gas doors or mirrors so you don't have to waist or buy more then u need. Tight areas like what you are doing it's great to use cuz no cup or hose to deal with and it's the exact same stuff that u normally would buy In quart jugs or gallons and have to mix the reducer or activator with. The clear has around a 24 hours pot life also after u puncture the seal so just thought I would bring it up!! Maybe for future builds or whatever but once I found out it was available I use them like crazy!! Cars looking sweet tho man, you guys are doing a great job!!
LOVE that blue. Before you got to the unveil I was already hoping BMW euro blue or light blue. Very 70's correct. Haters gonna hate on color. Own that shit.
Have to say, when you announced this project I thought "What is he getting himself into!" But your skills have come a long way in a few short years great work mate!
I also wanted to say that I haven't seen this level of quality and scrutiny since the Evora build. I'm excited to see the outcome because after the Mustang and the Rx-7 some of us were losing the faith. I'm not an expert or an armchair mechanic but this is how I feel.
Best build on UA-cam no doubt, from almost nothing to a garage built piece of art! Killing it my dudes! But I have got to say I just don't see that color representing this build in the right way. But I trust Chris' vision.
I run Orlando Cars and Coffee, huge Fan! My daughter lives in Tigard and I will see her this weekend. Let me know if you want to do trivia while I am up there! Car talk is always fun.
Use plenty of filler primer on those panels, that is your base to smooth over those rubbed paint transitions, 3 very thick coats at least before sanding smooth.
YASSSS marina I love Yas Marina blue. It's soon to be the color of my cafe bike, in fact. The actual paint has a tiny bit of really fine metal flake in it though. I wonder if they can make a wrap like that too.

I just realized that this is basically a DIY Viper
but smaller and lighter which is pretty scary lmao
@@BrutalFates best analogy ever

@@NicCeb you must not have been next to a viper and 240z at the same time because vipers are definitely smaller
@@austinrobertson6940 there's a video from 2015 and UA-cam of a 240z next to a viper, the viper is bigger
Great call using the raptor liner on the interior. Looks great in my opinion.
hell ya homestyle
Does it add much weight? How much do those bottles cover?
I don't think do. If you want to do sound deadening, then use proper sound deadening (like Dynamat).
TheSenatorSteve don’t know how much weight but I just sprayed my 280z 2 weeks ago with raptor liner and used two bottles.
Well there was raptorliner laying around getting old is what I read between the lines but sound deadening surely is a good thing and I would still add stuff that deadens even further. You have plenty of power so no need to worry about couple pounds..

it's weird to see the 240 almost done from where it was 😱
Seems like only last week that we were looking for a new 240 shell!!
@@johnboaks yeah I know it's looking awesome
Once Sema is over I hope this car gets more improvements like engine bay made to look better and the car gets painted properly as this car has to be one of the best builds on UA-cam especially with what you started with
And keep the car its one of a kind.
yea it'd be cool this see if rob ferrati does the youtube challenge thing again if he does the 240z should enter too
Yes please bc i think this car could be done so much better. A lot more improvements needed esp with quality
this m40z is coming together
m40z sounds better m204z is a mouth full but good name for car
M5z
this just sounds like a big ass gun used to kill zombies with LMAO
Z5 or 240m
Jenesis the M240z😂 tell me it dont
Left AdamLZs video for this 👍
I was hoping for darker blue, but good choice nonetheless.
Yes me to Devil Zetto much
Interlagos would be the perfect shade
I'm not a fan of the shade of blue either
Yas Marina is a stunner, with the black wheels it will look incredible
What a let down on the color choice at least you can peel it off. Otherwise bad ass build.
This build is addicting to watch, I refresh youtube at 5 my time everyday hoping I get a B is for Build video.
WhatsCannabis if you follow him on Instagram you will know when to check his channel 😜
Also if you turn on notifications you'll get an email notifying you the second a video goes up. Might wanna check it out.

Stops Adam LZs video to watch B is for build. Because in B is for Build we trust.
I did the same with Cleetu's jet engine video. B is for build first!
@@Floortile83 I'm so stoked for that build! It's gonna be nuts
Do we all watch the same shit?
@@kirkarvint.2017 Yes.
One of the best builds on the interwebs! Have to say what a great bunch of friends you have. This 240Z is going to be awesome. Cheers to you all!
I am honestly seriously impressed with this car project, given how and where you are building it, can't wait to see what your next projects are.
Thanks for listening and including the days left counter

Who remembers when Chris was this car was just a frame and a shell now look at this beauty that these guys have made keep up the good work guys
It's really coming together! I had my doubts at the beginning, now I'm pretty confident it will be an awesome build!
Such as nice color! and that guy wrapping is doing an bloody good job.
Excited to see it finished!
I love the concept of using under coating because it is "even stronger"!! Love the build, Keep it up!

I'm glad you did the interior in raptor liner too. Good protection overall, sound deadening and looks great. Protect the Z
sorry adam lz and your dyno day but bisforbuild is more important-er-ly
Big facts lol
literally just did the same thing
Yup did the same thing
😂😂😂😂same but I'm gonna watch adam is after this
"Important-er-ly 😂😂👌👍
By far my favourite build you've done so far!!!
wow 2 minutes in and i had 3 moments of deep joy. well done.
Um, that`s what she said? Ha! Great colour scheme Chris, Gulf it!
Ok this built ended being so much more extensive than I ever thought it would. I'm glad you're doing it that way though. Really looking forward to seeing the interior.
The raptor liner makes your seam seal job look 100X better too. Its a win win
Man this build is coming together so nice!
It’s coming together super quick, you guys are putting in some work! Looks great guys

Finally doing everything right on a car and taking your time.
This build is incredible!!! I can't wait for the finished results!
Yellow tinted headlight covers would look sick w the blue, yellow brake calipers would look amazing too
All of these most recent episodes have been VERY gratifying. Great work!

Sky blue is an interesting colour choice. Would have loved to see this build in nardo grey. Would have looked stunning with the black accents
Most underrated UA-cam channel. Looks amazing guys.
Exactly the colour i suggested quite a few videos ago. Awesome choice. Loving this build as it all comes together :-)
Yaaass Marina blue! 😂 awesome job guys! B is for (trail)Blazer! Using the raptor liner was a great choice. It looks good and provides protection.
I was not expecting this color.... I LOVE IT
Have to say, when you announced this project I thought "What is he getting himself into!" But your skills have come a long way in a few short years great work mate!
I really like that wrap colour and liking the bed liner for the underneath looking good
That wrap color is going to look amazing with the black cage!

It becomes so interesting for some reason!!! I cant wait to see it on the road!!! 🤤
BisforBuild > adamlz
raptor liner was a great idea on the inside of the car!
at first i wanted this build to end fast but now i cant believe this builds gonna be finished. WHAT AM I GOING TO WATCH THEN..........
Nice work guys. Great progress. I know you can do this in time 👍🏻
YESS I love light blue cars!!
I like this Build very much, can´t wait for him drive this car around

cant wait for the finished product. hell yeah.
Love the work! Maybe for the headlights have a look at the RWB Dallas car? The modern look would pop on your 240z!
B is for Bodywork!
Awesome!
Use plenty of filler primer on those panels, that is your base to smooth over those rubbed paint transitions, 3 very thick coats at least before sanding smooth.
its starts to look superb :) cant wait the finished car ;) cheers from Bulgaria ;)
Great efforts good to see it coming along so well!
Hey for the seat mounts, take the one from the BMW so you can use it to hide the wires and hopefully not just put all of it in the trunk
Awesome. Great work. Keep up the momentum! SEMA!
I honestly thought you guys were going to have to cut some corners to be ready for SEMA but after the past couple of videos .. Faith is restored!
this build has been so crazy and has come so far good stuff son
dont worry chris, we are good too: there is a new BisforBuild vid out!!!
That dark green turquoise actually looks quite nice 😁
Especially if it was done as a candy over a dark silver metalic
You have a high number of views. Congratulations.
Excited to see this project coming together, been a long road! In the beginning I was like wtf you crazy man, but now it's looking good :)
Damn that blue looks good! Looks sweet on the Bmw M cars and im sure it will look awesome on the 240!
Thank you for shining light on the frint driver strut tower. 2 sets of eyes sre better than one they say.
B is for UA-cam is finally back up
Beautiful car, beautiful color, beautiful engine.
A little bit of undercut on the fusion weld is no big deal 8:32. cause most of it was welded correctly.
already my fav car on yt
Love this car and what you guys are doing. Keep up the awesome work.

that blue looks gorgeous
Been waiting all day for this video
I cant wait to see you and the m240z at SEMA!
Can’t wait to see this finished🔥
Can't wait to see this 240 beast move,
great colour :-):-)
Your videos are so addicting but I love it! 👍
I'm happy to see how far he has tech with his build and he showed every bit of the process
Like this if you think positive and agrees
Nice 70's color, hope it works with the angularity you're going for.
Can you add that link for the bearing job, didn't see it in the description?
Looks looks things are coming together. Your gonna owe Eric a beer and vacation when this is done.
the car is turning out great
