    For some one not wanting to make a dashboard. You have outdone yourself with the craftsmanship my friend. That dash is amazing and so is your sense of humor.

The idear behind my thinking just may be get more to subscribers as others like Chad's fabs with your leavel of skill im looking forward to the 4x4 👍😊

    John, was asking myself how the Corvair is coming along, you new project is a nice one as well, but my heart beats for the Corvair.
    Hope you're well and just too busy with your builds to worry about videos!

    • @JohnReynolds661
      @JohnReynolds661  Рік тому +1

      Thanks, I really want to get back on the Corvair but I have to finish the Bronco first. The Bronco project isn’t interesting enough to do videos on but I will do one more of it when it’s all done.

    Kudos John! The VW FrankenSubieBug was amazing enough, but you've outdone yourself with this project. And holy smokes that dash is just the chef's kiss on top of an already fabulous display of mechanical and fabrication artistry.

    About the only thing we have in common is the black edge beading you used, I’ve used that on the edges of my car door to protect them from scrapes.

    I was just sitting down to have some lunch and your video popped up. Awesome job as usual and I have to say that your video was better than my lunch. Can’t even imagine what’s gonna happen to the bronco. Is the Bronco going to be your vehicle or for a customer. After watching you turn the bronco into the garage, looks like the steering box must be about a 25 turns lock to lock ha ha. I’m sure a rack and pinion is on the build sheet. Keep the videos coming , they always make my day.

    Outstanding dash. I kinda like the aluminum finish but figure it could be a distraction in bright sunlight. Looks like there's room at each corner for outside A/C vents but then again under dash units would work too. I think you get more cooling from the outside vents...
    Enjoying this build and looking forward to the next. Carry On. 👍

    Beautiful craftmanship. How many years experience do you have as a fabricator? I could watch this stuff all day. I would love to see a video where you show all the things you can do with that thing thats like an english wheel. All the different bends, the same with the other tool that shrinks and expands.
