Maaate. I’ve been watching utube for a few years now so i can get some ideas for my project and you would have to be one of the best fabricators I’ve seen on any sites. You should be proud of yourself 👏
Brave guy. I thought for sure the vents were going to be rendered scrap after all the time spent on them, while doing the perimeter bead. Having completed that impossible task, you risk it all again 🤣 Bravo sir. Bravo. It's art.
@@notevn yeah I felt your pain thru that whole episode 😂 You kept your composure better than I could. defo would have went home at the bare minimum lol
Absolutely Superb fabrication and craftsmanship....Never doubt yourself, you have the ability to fabricate what ever you can imagine.... greeting from the UK....❤
Wow, just found your channel, your work is comparable to the Italian metal artists of the 60s that worked on handmade Ferrari, Lambo and Iso's, maybe even better. Amazing 😀
I have noticed that when I am cutting some metal that it takes more force than in others. Asked the supplier and was told it depends on where the steel comes from that the temper may not be even.
always surprising how much you can get into one piece of panel, well done. this episode of project Binky covered making a louver pressing tool that might be easier? for repeatable individual louvers, but i like the laser cut plan to accurately locate them. Project Binky - Episode 9 - Austin Mini GT-Four - Turbocharged 4WD Mini (at the 8 minute mark, they are using the home made tool)
why cant that be done on the pullmax ? If you made the tooling already I don't understand the process I guess. You do awesome work and I really appreciate the fact that you show your work. I tell everyone about your channel.
The pullmax is very violent and would require a tonne more jigs and fixtures like timber with slots cut and the vent being sandwiched between, when it was much easier to just do it by hand, a more accurate and less risky procedure imo.
How did you trim the back of the vents off? Cut off wheel or tin snips or just sanding? I would end up damaging it trying to clean it up. Love your work.
Hey mate, long term Insta fan and been on your UA-cam since the day you started. Are you keeping a log book of hours on this? So when you are finished you can say I’ve spend 700 hours to get this bad boy all done?
nice job. suspect your bolts were maybe not great quality, go up a couple of grades next time. a finer thread pitch would help too. also, lube the dies, makes a big difference.
Your Car has a different Side Marker Light, Then the other two, So they Shortened the Beading. It also looks to me, like there maybe beading around your Marker light, as well, Where the others do not?
I'm thinking it actually has a whole series 2 nose been put on the car a long time ago. Explains why the valance is a series 2 and matches the nose cone wear and tear perfectly. I hadn't looked too closely as I didn't suspect anything and as it's all so rusty but now I can see where they have joined it infront of the factory join at the pillar.
Haha yeah always getting those pesky cuts you don't notice until it's it's over the panel 😅 I rarely wear gloves they frustrate me so I guess that's the trade-off.
This guy here is in his early 30s having 50 years experience bendig metal. Dude you are awesome 👏
Thanks mate its a slow learning process when you're teaching yourself
Bam! Another perfect example of excellent craftsmanship! 👍🏻
Thanks mate

Thanks mate, but just an battler in a shed 😅 few more years to go before I'll consider myself decent.

Bravo sir. Bravo. It's art.
Haha I didn't even think theyd survive the bolt snapping saga tbh, thought I would flip my biscuit and throw it across the backyard 🤣

Thanks Tony 💪
Everything you do is literally impressive man
Awesome work mate - you are a metal working guru.
Thanks mate, but not yet I'm still learning.
very glad to come across this channel inspiring me to have a go at some panels for my own projects instead of buying.
It's only metal mate , rip in and have a go, what have you got to lose in trying to do them yourself.
Awesome work
One of the most impressive metalwork channels out there, very very nice work!
Thanks mate, still very primitive videos as I do them all solo
Amazing work! The louvers turned out super.
Thanks , I'm impressed how they came out given the primitive approach.
Always enjoy your craftmanship. Also, love the weekly uploads. Great Work Nathan.
Thanks mate, I have another vid for Richard's for later in the week. I didn't want to combine the two
ASMR at it's finest 👌...keep up the great work bro
Cheers mate
Awesome work Nathan! Great channel that deserves a lot more followers.
Thanks mate
The man knows what he is doing 😅. Amazing skills
They do get easier after you've made a few 😅
You should be so proud of your work. It is absolutely amazing. To have these skills at your age is next level good.
It's only the beginning of my journey, another 10 years under my belt and I'll be decent.
Amazing to watch! Craftsmanship 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks glad you enjoyed.
This man has skills. I wish I knew .001% of what he does about metal shaping.
Not too late to start learning, I've taught myself 😅
Impressive as always. Keep the videos coming, will watch them all.
Thanks mate, another one in a few days
You my friend are a god amongst insects ☝️☝️👍👍👍👍
😅thanks, I've never heard that saying
Great work, fascinating to watch. Never heard of these cars before.
Thanks mate, yeah they are an oddball
Always a ton of work in jobs like this but you have smashed it man. Panels look great
Cheers man
Man your reply getting really good at this, I can't wait to see it finished.
Slowly improving with time, I'm also keen to see the end of them 🤣
Proper Project Binky levels of fab work and template/die making
Your comment about being at an event and (your vent is 30mil..... Its suppose to be 45 )had me 😂😂😂
Haha it's bound to happen.🤣
Love your work great craftsmanship ❤
Thanks mate
Awesome work,lots of thought gone into that..top job
Cheers mate
Your work is killer!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Love it bro!!!
Another fantastic video showing some serious skill.
Thanks mate
Wow, just found your channel, your work is comparable to the Italian metal artists of the 60s that worked on handmade Ferrari, Lambo and Iso's, maybe even better. Amazing 😀
Thanks mate, that's my end goal to be on that level, only early days for me so maybe in 10 years I'll be good.
You probably know already but make sure you are using a Grade 8.8 bolt to solve the problem. Keep the content coming. Great work!
Haha yeah I thought it picked up all hi tensile but obviously not.
Great work man, it's really starting to come together!
Thanks mate yeah piece by piece I've almost made an entire side from scratch now 😅
mate! like you a of tooling and fabrication, your skill is brilliant.
Gotta make things when you're poor and don't have a cnc machine 😅
Impressive work👍
Thanks
Bloody impressive stuff!
Thanks mate
Amazing skills , u r a legend
Cheers mate.
You make it look easy
It gets easier with more time spent. I'm still green
Very nice.
Very awesome!!
love your videos, keep it up!
Thanks mate, plenty more videos of these cars ahead 😅
I have noticed that when I am cutting some metal that it takes more force than in others. Asked the supplier and was told it depends on where the steel comes from that the temper may not be even.
great work as always, also all your video production is getting better aswell
Thanks mate, yeah I'm listening to the feedback and trying to add more of what people want to see (during the work clips)
@notevn you're definitely doing the right thing, it's great to watch the whole process

Ah yee cheers ill have a geez, there is a few ways to go about it, I'll try the laser full piece style and if that fails just do them individually 😅
How many years has Project Binky been going for now? I don't think my 8 year old son was born when I first found it.

Love your work.
I just used a flap wheel carefully to get the height , and then a small round file on the insides.
🙋🏼♂️🙌🏻Muito bom irmão parabéns amigo pelo seu trabalho 🙌🏻👍🏻🇧🇷
Thank you
I'm assuming the guy who has picked up the 30mm to 45mm discrepancy has missed that it is mounted to an mx5 chassis 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, yeah I guess there is that slight difference 🤣
Great work as usual. Hope everything is going well for you away from cosmo's. 😊
Thanks mate, im still breathing so that's always a plus
Hey mate, long term Insta fan and been on your UA-cam since the day you started. Are you keeping a log book of hours on this? So when you are finished you can say I’ve spend 700 hours to get this bad boy all done?
Hey mate yeah I'd be able to add them all up at the end I keep track of it all. , I'd hate to know though😅
nice job. suspect your bolts were maybe not great quality, go up a couple of grades next time. a finer thread pitch would help too. also, lube the dies, makes a big difference.
Yeah I must have grabbed some crappy bolts, the dies were all oiled up.
Your Car has a different Side Marker Light, Then the other two, So they Shortened the Beading.
It also looks to me, like there maybe beading around your Marker light, as well, Where the others do not?
I'm thinking it actually has a whole series 2 nose been put on the car a long time ago. Explains why the valance is a series 2 and matches the nose cone wear and tear perfectly. I hadn't looked too closely as I didn't suspect anything and as it's all so rusty but now I can see where they have joined it infront of the factory join at the pillar.
@@notevn Oh BTW, Beautiful Craftmanship!
Oh mate it 30mm not 45 had me in stitches 😂
Haha you just know there will be that guy
Maybe they were all partially coachbuilt? How many were actually produced? Next time I'm in Japan I'm going to plan to attend some classic car shows.
They were hand built. 1 a day. 343 series 1 made.
Time lapse is good
Maestro
What material do you use for your rust repair sections mate? Type, Thickness etc
0.9mm cold rolled
@@notevn cheers mate. I must say, you are a fantastic craftsman.
Why it was different, maybe the tool broke midway the series?
Someone has welded a series 2 front on the car (series 2 has smaller vent area)
bad obsession motorsport made something similar for the mini project
are you bleeding all over your work? blood makes metal rust fast. ask me how i know......
Haha yeah always getting those pesky cuts you don't notice until it's it's over the panel 😅 I rarely wear gloves they frustrate me so I guess that's the trade-off.
