Stubbornness? Determination? I don’t know, but it made for an interesting and educational video in spite of it being a source of frustration. Keep on keeping on chaps! 😊
Sunday evening 5pm and here I find myself with cider in hand and anticipation of a good 20 minutes youtube, 5.27pm and no disappointment at all in this house. Looking forward to the aero engine next week.................
So excited but will need to watch later. Anticipation is real and honest jons here yasss the banter
I hope you enjoy it when you return!
Oh yes, should have added that Iain Tyrell, on his latest and generally rather wonderful Tyrell's Classic Workshop UA-cam programme, covers a Porsche 356 Speedster. Well worth a view and I am confident that your 356 will be as good when finished. Just demonstrates how much care is needed with these things. Regards
Brilliant, that’s what I’m going to do next 😂
I like the pink Marilyn Munroe cut-line ...... ❤
Nice cliffhanger, Dom, ! So you found an Aero-engine ! ?
Looking frantically forward to next week !
Stay Bash-full John !
Stu xx
jon is the best !
He is!
Try making the panel larger & trim it down, as a large panel is easier to work with.
yeah I'm guessing the areo engine was found and purchased; oh well so much for the 356...
So excited but will need to watch now!
Just thinking to myself “no, no, bite off more…” and John plunks down the very thing I was hoping for.
Dom said “ We’re not very good at this”.
John’s thinking “ What’s this we crap kimosabe” 😂😂😂
I suspect it's the chassis he recently bought for his Edwardian aero car :-)
Shhh!
😂😂@@DominicChineas
Has Dom finally managed to find an aero engine 🤔
Not yet!
The pre war racer arrived?
I am sure I caught a glimse of a narrow spoked wheel on this video, maybe there is a rolling chassis there?
@@dingodoctor7373 Definitely - I am pretty sure that I have identified the typical shapes of a pre-war chassis with two seats peaking up in the middle behind Dom's back - although it was all bit blurred to be honest...
Fact - Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. You're doing great.
We introduced the grandchildren to your video today .... now they now know all about Ranalahs!
Hi Don and John. With that panel, I can see shrinking marks on the left hand return, why not shrink the top 2-3 inches a lot more and it will naturally pull the top corner in. And if that doesn't work try cutting the return edge every 10 mm or less then weld the cuts back together. I know you won't want to do the cut and shut, but sometimes it's the only way. I've done this many times in my driveway repairing cars and having to cut out rot and make replacement panels.
Sitting watching and couldn't believe they didn't shrink the side return . . . Dom has a shrinker doesn't he
I think you two need a holiday. You are starting to get tetchy Dom. You can’t keep up this rate of work plus shooting videos indefinitely.
We are only having a laugh, don’t take it too seriously!
It mounting flange need to be shrunk.
I think Geoff from MPH motor panels needs a trip to the workshop.
11/10 to Jon for perseverance. Not using that panel does not make it a failure, only that if the experience and lessons learnt along the way don't make the next go so much better.
I love the fact that things go wrong and rarely according to plan and always take far longer than u think,,,,,,even on a pedal car ! Thank you so much for showing how time consuming and frustrating restorations can be 19:43

Does anyone else just love to hear Jon laugh?
Well done John for persevering.
We need a Director’s Cut of this project with a voiceover by Geoff :D
Great idea haha
I'm guessing that would be a lot of bleeping for Dan to add in 😂 would definitely be entertaining though!
dom im curious to know if you can share whats up with the wheel that steve helped you find?
I am not sure which one you mean?
@@DominicChineas the one from the motorcycle shop in Whitney
Well done John sometimes you have to adapt to what feels right rather than what is so said the right way 👍
Back to my happy place with a cup of tea! Cheers!
A real hive of activity today. Wonderful stuff even if things did not quite go to plan. Looking forward to the next instalment and, of course, the next project. Cannot wait.
Is there a reason why John didn't use the shrinker on that boot lip, it surely would have put some curve back that was lost when it was turned. Keep up the good work, it's always fun and interesting.
I think it curved the other way which was the problem, to the right
Good evening ! I have to tell that I had a red peddle-car in early 1950 s! The dust cart used to park up for a tea-break adjacent to a neighbours house ! In those days the vehicle had a trailer into which ''salvage' materials, metal , cardboard etc would be placed ! I used to raid this trailer for stuff which is how I made my bicycles etc! one day I 'salvaged' a beautiful red peddle car ! It gave me & a late friend so much fun until it never peddled any more !! Thank you for these lovely video reports !
Keep up the great work gents
Great work guys! Nice to just show how much work it really takes.
Btw, I would love to see a video about the progress to make the tool post!
That is coming soon!! Glad to hear it was worth filming!
Boys always good value sorry its in AUD 😳😋
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
haha----- dominic and john are starting to sound like an old married couple in how they are arguing about that panel. lol
Hats off to John for persevering, plus we know that everything on this pedal car has to be Mark 3 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊😊
. . . great show. I wish the next episode was already hear.
I have to ask the obvious question; what is the purpose of resurrecting such a holey rusty wreck? A huge amount of work by two people, the cost of which can never be recovered; would it have been cheaper to buy a new one? Was it just an exercise to get wheeling experience? I'm impressed but also baffled.
"It's a failure!" Man found face down in unit with what appears to be a semi-made pedal car panel imbedded in the back of his skull. Police are asking for anyone with information in relation to this to please make contact . . .
Doh! Mini's sold out again by the time I saw this video. Dom, you need a run of 200 minis, they'll sell!

That panel is massively complex. It has a compound curve with a reverse curve on one side and a tipped lip on the other side, and its a small panel to get all that shape into it. Over the years I have tried to master sheet metal work and panel making but to be honest I have had a lot more success making panels like that from strips of metal and TIG welding them together. You can then do it a bit at a time and generate the shape as you go.
Needs a small snip in the return at the top to allow it to curve back in. It will be spot welded along the return at the end so the panel will remain ridged once fixed in place. If need be the "snip" can be welded after bending. Just a thought...
To get the radius in the upper section, you need to stretch the flange, which will allow the space to achieve the radius.
Ah.... spotted something interesting at 9:40ish....❤❤❤❤
Shhhhh haha!
@@DominicChineassome very careful editing and camera work to avoid that side of the workshop. Bring on the a**o eng**e s***ial.
Great stuff as usual lads.I think that panel looks okay but I know you guys are looking for perfection so good on ya.
Bit if a yawn vid. I watch and enjoy every week, but today I lost interest, sorry.
micro ranalegh items - can they work to make little panels for my tinplate toys ?
Another great video Dom and john, could you run that return in the machine that makes curves to try ang get the right radius? Any way keep it up guys keep them coming 👍
Well dun John 👍👍👍👍😀
It’s great fun watching you both trying to make your minds up about the next part
Aero engine incoming 🙏🏻
Not an engine yet! But close
Next week, I can't come quick enough. Hopefully, it is an aero engine or a chassis.
The panels folded edges will be more forgiving if you introduce them gradually as a negotiable soft edge after you've got the panel into shape you want. Like embellishments on a pie crust, edges are finishing touches so everything else has to be right first.

Thank you for sharing your struggles. It's important to know others don't succeed on the first go.
Thanks
Thank you, grand effort all around lads. Happy to get a shipping notice of my mini. Will be a nice addition to my stash of beautiful but useless items, just like me. Not the beautiful bit that is. 😂. Cheers
It is lovely watching real life and not pretend. Excited for next week...
Does anyone remember the Porsche and the panels requiring work?
What Porsche? Haha
Hi Dom & John 😮, Am on the edge of my seat 😅, you win get there, 😁 roll on next week 😂, All the best Brian 😃
Love you guys, so hardworking and talented. Keep keeping up the good work 🌞
What a great team you guys make ,love it,👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻🤠
Why not cut little wedges in edge
iim hopeing we see the chassis an maybe an aero engine?
Why not get Geof down to show you how?
Great well done guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I see some progress in the Porsche hiding back there😁
OK John has his crayons, is he not allowed sharp objects :).
Next week you will get your finger out of your arse and continue with the Porsche, Won't you ???
:)
🫡👊
Crikey, that's a ridiculous amount of work! All good practice I guess but it looks like you could make a complete new body more easily & quicker than restoring that old one. I saw some fibreglass bodies for sale at an autojumble recently...
What a fabulous, chilled watch that was. Thank you😊
Glad you enjoyed itt
Wonder what kind of aero engine it is 😁
It’s not an engine!
With those particular panels Dom, I can’t help wondering whether a VW beetle panel (widely available), could be used and cut to fit. They have very similar curves, and could be a shortcut to save hours of time?
Love the way u play of each other makes a good vid great 👍
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you
Use the 'part-off' disc to cut a few notches 3/4 of the way up the return, then heat with a torch and tap into the curve you want. I'm surprised you didn't make the cut down the center of the reverse curve, much easier to roll 1 to 1 1/2 cm on an edge than it is to roll 2 to 3 cm in the middle of a wheeled bulge... But then, it's been 50 years since I put down my dollys and hammers...
John's not Earthing himself with rubber gloves on !
Surely. 😂
That which has not been named seems to have distracted John a bit, look forward to finding out next week ! Maybe you should make a buck for forming that complicated blended curve he's struggling with ? It seems like a good part to make an interior mould cast from interior faces ? Not sure if a silicone can be hard enough to bang on, but maybe make in silicone, build up with fiberglass or adhered paper to allow for metal thickness and then cast in something denser like concrete or babbitt metal to make a receiving die shape ? Maybe use your 3D scanner again to mill a receiving die from a billet of glued up wood pieces ? That could be sold on to Austin for making repair pieces too...
There has GOT to be a quicker and easier way to make curves than that darn ranalah. But, I don't know what it would be.
Ameliorator 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Domi and John!!??
We have A comun point, we are all amateurs!!!😃😂
Hi, can’t seem to be able to use the contact page on the Ranalah website? Aldo I don’t get notifications of new stock etc even though I’ve registered my email.
Hi Dom & John. Good work on the part making John & 2 Ranalah on there way out Dom.
Wonder what the secret will be for next week.
Again, make flexible shape patterns!
Surely it would be much easier to weld the flanges on after making the main part of the panel.
I'm loving your work on the chassis, when do you fit the aero engine to it?
Johns determination is usually with good reason
Don't beat yourself up john
Is that a denture on the wall behind John?
John nailed it. I bet that piece would have bent perfectly if it wasn't for all the negative vibes Dom was putting in the air!
Haha don’t blame me!
Did you get your aero engine Dom? Thanks for the video Dom another Sunday made perfect
Not yet!
ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"DJ John" on the wheel!
Great job.
👍😎
Feel an aero engine may be coming 🤔
Not yet!
mmm thought I spotted a new wire wheel in the background there 👍😊
Uhoh! Next week you’ll find outb
@@DominicChineas alarms already set for 5pm Sunday 👍✔✔
got to be an aero engine 🤔
Nope!
