RUNGE Cars Shop Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Although @RUNGECARS Is not open to the public, we wanted to give a tour of the new workshop! As many of you know, Runge Cars was started In 2011 when I picked up some used metal shaping tools and started hammering away on my first car. I learned how to shape, weld and fabricate on my first build, FF001. Since then my passion has turned into my livelihood and after saving for the past 9 years, I finally moved out of our home garage and into my new workshop! Please note, the workshop is not open to the public. It is open to workshop class students and build customers however. I want to thank everyone who has supported the journey of Runge Cars.

This is exactly the sort of place you'd imagine these cars would be made
Chris; I have to say that your shop is absolutely beautiful. And our industry has Needed someone like you in it for a long time. And you're a classy dude to boot. I've been in Body Shop for almost 40 yrs and paint is my deal. I hope people can learn that what your doing is Not Easy; and hell yes! It needs to be well compensated. I would say if a Bugatti is a million then yours should be right in close to numbers like that. Thank You. And I hope I can build a place like that for Me and my Son and Daughter...
Now thats a shop .... you lucky guy.... Im in.... what a classic channel...
Amazing shop for amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome man glad to see you making videos again
That is probably the classiest shop I've ever seen! It kind of reminds me of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg museum, by the way your audio is perfect!
Thanks man! My daughter made me a microphone with her earbuds 👍🏻👍🏻 Kids these days!
@ remember a microphone is just a speaker being used in the opposite direction. Think drive through window. Most headphones can be used as a microphone, they just are not as sensitive. Love love that shop! Great work. Would love to hand you my dad's 86 911 and see what you could do with it. If only I had the dough.
What a fantastic shop you have built, dunno were you get all the energy to do all that and build your own cars. Love what you do and you have inspired me to try various panel work on my car I didn't think I could do and love every minute of it. Cant wait to see more of your stunning cars. I love the way you explain things in a very calming understandable way, you videos are the best, Awesome and a big THANK YOU from UK.
*Congratulations on your new/first real shop!*
Thanks man! So stoked!
@ Just Amazing my friend!!!
You look about as old as me and I'm 27, I guess working on racecars keeps the child inside alive
Beautiful shop, I had a furniture set custom made by some mormons I met in Utah, their craftsmanship is insane
Your builds are becoming more complex and sophisticated under the skin
The man with the most tools at his death WINS.
very nice car and shop is even better.
Your shop is beautiful. Only fitting since the cars coming from it are equally beautiful.
That building is as beautiful and timely as are your auto creations. Great job. It speaks to me, at least.

Nice building - it makes such a huge difference having a 'nice' place to work.
Looks great Chris! Very stylee! Thank you for giving us a shop tour! #RungeTwoSyllables
Thank you Mark! Hope you're well buddy!
Daaaaaaaamn! That's hard work paying off (with a good bit of additional hard work in the mix). I'm a big fan of the function AND coolness. I came here after watching the Leno episode again.
Love your work!
Love the ode to Campy wheels on the Viper
Wheels on the viper rebody are fantastic! Great to see something that looks right for the car
I am planning to build a shop and was looking through shop tour videos. I stopped looking after I saw your shop.
Haha, Thanks @PatrickHolmes. If you have any questions on what we did here feel free to email info@RungeCars.com There are a ton of things I didn't cover in the video...
A dream come true. Well done to you guy and here's wishing you the best of times ahead creating your masterpieces!
Thank you Jonathan🙏🏻
Chris - WOW! What a fantastic new working space you have created. I know it will inspire you to do even more ambitious projects in the future. Also, I can see that you have made great improvements in your sound for the videos. Very good work, all around!
Thank you Ron! And thanks again for the tip on the sound. My daughter figured it out! Let me know when you’re back out this way!
Omg....when u said u built this work shop I was thinking you contracted it...I was thinking this nance didnt build it...I apologize...sir your focus is unparalleled...also thank you for education with school systems tech u this much...hats off sir
You are one of the most talented and passionate car guys Ive ever come across. 👍
Much deserved! Thankful to be able to be along for the ride!
This guy has some serous money behind him to be able to do this, he is really talented but it also takes great customers to allow him to achieve his and their goals. keep up the great work, the shop looks awsome
@D Haley Thanks man, I am very fortunate to have customers that believe in me. I do not have investors, my customers are my investors, I didn’t inherit money from anyone and each build is commissioned. I started this journey at $0. I’m blessed to have family and friends who have pushed me and continue to push me to be my very best. The 002 car shown in the video has more blood sweat and tears (literally) under that paint than anyone knows. The few who know my whole story know that the cars saved my life. My hope is that every person can find something that drives them and ignite a fulfilling creativity and passion like this has for me..
Your work is awesome. I have a 2005 Crossfire Roadster because I'm a fan of the 2 seater convertible style. May I suggest you say your name RUNGE often appropriately within your videos to reinforce the pronouciation and of course your branding. You are way too humble.
WOW!! Holy Smoke... and he's (kind-of) a Porsche guy! The entry and view of #28, my first thought was a Denzel prototype I'd never seen before. The tube frame buck/car in the back looks very much like a Porsche 906. Congrats on building your dream!! I APPROVE!
You are the coolest, super humble and a brilliant car designer. I have a BMW 72 R75-5 in fa garage. Still happy as a pig, but thanks for showing us what a dream looks like when awake. Cheers
I've been looking around on UA-cam at peoples Woodworking shops. Your building is Amazing. Absolutely Perfect for what i invision for my Woodworking and Leathercraft shop. i love everything ya'll have done. it's stunning.
Building cars from the ground up and a Unimog. I knew liked you. Everything is fast after a road trip in a 404! Of all the people; I know how much work is in and proceeds each video. Thanks for sharing your life and work. You've convinced me to "one day" hammer a car out of aluminum!
I love your shop, and all those tools! Please be careeful! Some of those monsters can take fingers off...or worse. All the best of luck in your new shop.
Bravo!!! Incredible old world craftsmanship. You have fantastic vision
Congratulations Chris. Very we'll deserved. That's great that your family helped. It looks as great as the cars you build. I am looking forward to learn more about car building from you. ✌🙂🚙
Love to see you living your dream. Deep ✊ . Keep on going your craftmanship. Great to watch here from the netherlands. One of our only car companies is called “Donkervoort” also a small carbuilder with al lott of traditional cars only your panelbeating is beyond everything 👍. Great place for doing what you do 💪👏
Congratulations, so wonderful to see you follow your passion and your business growing. You deserve what is unfolding. I honestly wish you all the best for the future my friend... myself and all the others here will most certainly be cheering you on! ✊
We had the exact same storage bins in the tool store where I used to work -BP Refinery Grangemouth in SCOTLAND .Took me back to my apprenticeship days when I saw them .
Man that is cool. I didn't point it out in the video, but my friend also gave me the "Goodrich Aisle Lights" above those storage shelves. They were covered in 80 years of soot (which preserved them) They are a patented design that directs the light down onto the shelves but not into your eyes... Pretty cool stuff!
Amazing! You are following all great builders! Beautiful building and tools! Thanks for sharing! RWB ❤🎉
Really love that you incorporated the Salvaged elements in with the new build! What an upgrade! Well deserved and well done!
Fantastic. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful!! cant wait to see that viper
That was a real treat to watch. The colors and style are over the top!
I wish I was your neighbor,love it Chris.Keep up the good work,and keep the videos coming.
It is good to see that your projects are going forward. The workshop is beautiful and I hope we will have many more videos in the (not so far) future.
Good luck and have fun!!!
Wow cool new shop .You will outgrow that soon,
Love the repurposing going on and help from family/friends.
Congratulations! May you enjoy your dream job for many years to come! Well deserved!

*Fantastic, glad to see you in your new shop, the feeling it gives off is truly, like going back in time, aka like new / old school Coach Building history* ... Let me know if you need any period correct fiberglassing.
Watching this makes me wish I had applied myself better in life! Dream job and workspace!
Never too late to start.
Exactly 👍🏻
Nothing can surpass a shop, built to fit a business and craft that is based on creativity, workmanship, and passion. I am impressed and inspired! Good luck in the future!
randomly came across yr channel. You sir deserve more subs than u have. what a nugget of a find. Love the new shop, that stained concrete floor is just gorgeous. Saw u with Leno, very cool. Yr skills are incredible. good luck in yr new shop!!!! love the old BMW bike too. just awesome!!!
The new workshop looks fantastic! I like the flow of chassis work at the back and the cars working their way to the front as the builds progress!
Absolutely off the scale ,so,so clever, excellent, beautiful, magical. Total respect to your work and building. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality.
Wicked work dude on the shop and wickeder work on the cars!
I love the shop's family/friends/Amish build using reclaimed materials!
Your new workshop looks fantastic. I really like the arched doors and the stone work on the outside.
What a gorgeous workshop to match your gorgeous cars! Fantastic work.
Cool beans brother.
You're living my dream .
That viper will be GORGEOUS when it’s finished. Excellent work as always
Wow amazing shop! I am so happy for you to upgrade from the shop in your past videos. I love what you are doing! I love the craftsmanship. I am in Fargo and was surprised and proud when I learned you are located in Minnesota. (Practically neighbors!) I am always looking for inspiration and things to get my own creative juices flowing and your videos have always been one of my go to options. Keep doing it your way! Well done my friend. I very much look forward to future videos.
Outstanding building! What a great job you guys have done to create your bespoke workplace. It looks fantastic.
Very muck looking forward to seeing how you put this place to use now and equally eager to see the Viper re-body take shape. The artist's sketches on that look beautiful. ♥️ If you feel like doing a quick video on those drawings please do 😉
Thanks for taking the time to share the development of Runge cars as you progress forward.
WOW! It's absolutely gorgeous!
Your story is very inspirational and your shop is stunning. Amazing to see how far you have come in such a short space of time.
Very cool! Great shop, and thanks for the tour.
love it
Love the shop towels under all the wheels protecting the concrete finish! :)
OCD😂 Every wheeled tool, cart etc has had the wheels wrapped in tape. The floor is high maintenance to say the least🤦🏻♂️
Always admired the lines and workmanship of your cars - no surprise that your shop is well thought out and beautiful. I look forward to your future projects.
Congratulations on the beautiful new shop!!!
Congratulations, truly well deserved!!! Your vision and skill are so rare these days. Enjoy the ride :) Older metal guy from Pennsylvania, subscribed!!
Very nice and I know appreciated building and space for you to work in. hopefully you have some room for expansion as I can see that in your future!!
Awesome. So jealous. You are so young and achieving stuff many can only dream of. Carry on and live the dream of many. Good Stuff. Best wishes.
So psyched that you are back! Well done on the shop👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely amazing work you do , So glad & proud of the new shop.
Cool!
Nice tour, Chris, looking forward to all the future videos!
Garage and your work is incredible. Love to have a shop like that one day. The nicest I have ever seen.
Beautiful shop with amazing finish.
Congratulations!
Glad to see all the improvements
Great looking shop, looks like you have everything you need for now. With luck, it will be too small in the future !!
O M G . I could live up stairs , I would be in heaven
Great looking build. Easy to tell you've put as much thought, design, and hard work into this as you do with your cars. Wishing you continued growth and success.
Chris- I love your videos and cars- I'm really curious and would love to see a video of how you got started to the point where you were actually making enough money building and selling these awesome cars. What did you do for income up to that point- and when did it turn over to where building and selling these amazing creations could become your actual living wage (assuming that's the case now). It doesn't seem to me that the UA-cam subscribers would be enough to accomplish that- and I would think a TON of viewers would love to know how you pulled this off.
Wonderful video. Love the vibe of the new space. A master craftsman needs a space like this. Well deserved and hard earned. More videos please! Would you ever consider teaching metal fabrication classes? Gary
Thank you Gary! I do host one class per month. The class is limited to two students. You can email info@RungeCars.com for more details!
Fabulous shop and the shape of those cars.... breathtaking. You deserve the success and acclaim and cahs flow you get from this. I liked the early builds better, with the slightly whobbly surfaces, occasional out-of-line rivets and small Volkswagen engines. But hey, congratulations, you do fabulous stuff. Very inspiring....
Love the space, great job on the planning and details.
Garaza je odlicna sve cestitke ,pozdrav
Fantastic shop.
Congratulations on your dream shop.
Mike
Really first class shop. Clearly great thought went into all aspects. Question; could you please do a video about how you make a wire buck? The one about the wood buck is super. The aluminum tube buck seems unique to Runge Cars, and particularly clever.
Always love to see updates.
wow love it all , love the cars , workshop , your an artist !!
That Veleno is going to be incredible
Wow! Nice shop... I'm building my dream shop as well... it's 5000 sf.. but yours is much prettier...you must have waaay more energy than me! Good job! Nice tools...
Congrats! Beautiful shop and very inspiring. Keep after it!
Congrats, Chris! Its beautiful. Glad to see all your hard work paying off.
A really lovely garage / shop !!!!!!
Great shop Chris. Would love to see it someday. I would love to be able to do what you do.
