Great stuff guy’s! I’m surprised Tony didn’t want the top bracket tails to have a radius to fit around the pipe! Starting to take shape and looking sweet.
I like watching skilled work at designing for how to fit and fabricate what you need. The funnies are a bonus. Thank you for your close-up shots. I can't wait for more videos.
Some segments of the project can be a bit more time consuming. How the radiator is mounted and where is important for other components on the car further down the project pipeline. So we needed to get this ‘right’ to avoid a bunch of steps backwards later on. You’re watching this build in real time, not a fabricated story for UA-cam. 🤙🏻
Ever seen the clear kayaks? You could skin it transparent. Then have vinyl wrap over that with patterns and cut-outs and ambient lights underneath. I was starting to recommend leather but the other one would be much better.
First time watching the show. The concept tweaked my interest. I’m impressed with the design, workmanship and engineering skills displayed. A little too much foolish banter and not enough progress so far but I believe this show has a ton of potential and upside. Im in for the duration of this project 👍🏻👍🏻
Just FYI, there are indeed metalbenders in avatar! Great video guys, I always watching your videos. I love how you guys pepper references in there, and I usually get them (even though I'm 17).
I cant do well in school at all so im taking my dads 1998 chevy cavalier, making it a 2 door hatchback with the rear end of a 1998 Mitsubishi Starion, and making it mid engine with a 2001 Ford 6.8 Triton V10 and T56 gears put inside of a C6 Corvette Transaxle. Not sure what to do about the front end of the body though, ill figure that out as soon as i find one cool enough to work. I wanted to do something like that for a while and this series gave me the motivation to finally start. I was able to convince 2 friends and now we're saving to buy our own shop and mass produce them. I could really use some help with it, but thats not a conversation for this time or place. When we start i'm going to start posting the progress to my instagram and youtube, you'll see it at some point
Looking great, I love your senses of humor! This is my favorite series on YT because I've ALWAYS wanted to see someone make a custom car, and an in-depth demonstration of how one might go about doing it. I've always wanted to at some point in my life make a custom car, and this helps me see what I will need to learn to do it!
Coachworks is a no-compromise custom auto builder that cuts all the corners, and everything else, only to maintain fluidity, cohesiveness, and logical functionality. Glad you said screw it and cut the front up to make it work and look like it was meant to be that way IF it came from a factory. 🤘
You guys are getting some an awesome "voice" for these videos that really comes across ever more consistent as you go on. Then, both Tony and Ryan are kickin' ass on the build. Real total package, underrated channel, that I shamelessly promote at every opportunity (too bad I'm the "handy" guy in my group lol).
It seems like you could possibly use your new front crash bar as a pivot for the front clamshell. 😁 Personally, whenever I'm designing something, I love for one part to serve two or three functions. ☺️💜 Gorgeous welding BTW.
A nice big hole in the front of the brackets you boxed in would give a factory look and I agree the top mounts need a turn down 😁 Nice work so far really enjoying the build Mike Australia 911 sc 😊
PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS. There's a T-shirt right there. As far as the radiator - I used almost exactly the same principles when I fitted a custom built rad into a GTM Libra V6... but less welding (fibreglass, see? :) ) We didn't even attempt to keep weight down (comfy GT spec) but it came in at 830kg/1830lbs wet, and with a little over 200hp from a 2.5l V6, it was a tiny rocket. Was surprised you didn't try to keep the Porsche cooling - it's incredibly well-designed and ducted, the three-rad style system for the 996 turbo/Boxster S *should* be able to cope with the SBF. However - it's a nice piece you've installed and it'll be interesting to see your hot-air exhaust ductwork.
Although it might be not the correct materials for the time period you're aiming for, but what about a fiberglass duct for the rear of the radiator that is somewhat moulded to the shape of the tub? Something that can be removed with a few fasteners so that you can access the rear of the lower part of the tub and the master cylinder/fuel tank region. Gotta worry about inner fenders and how they integrate into the tub so a moukded duct at a later stage might be convenient
I'm not an engineer, but I question solid mounting the radiator to a collapsible bumper and then to the tub. Also, the front of that lower tub had to add rigidity across front end, I'd throw another tube across between the lower reinforcements. Coming along nicely overall.
What about.. once all these adjustments are completed, stripping jigsaw down to the last bolt, and attempting to 100% marry this existing chassis/frame to the jig saw evolution.. And to a Sema standard..
Did you debate making the crash beam have a bend? Is the planned tilt point going to be framed off that? Took some messing round but well worth it in the end.
I’m a big fan of this build and hoping it will be at Carlisle in a month for public viewing, but come on give the Iconic Lamborghini a little credit, it’s called a Miura!
Are you going to run the oil coolers down in the front, or are they going to be nearer to the engine? Great work, and I can hardly wait to see you guys put some skin on the car.
Great project very cool indeed and Im really enjoying it But......... I still think a 917 style front end would look better. Lol But hey, it's still seriously cool 😎
Hi guys! Loving the videos! I have a question as a viewer from the uk when this project is finished and the car is roadworthy, how does your whole insurance situation work over there? Over here in the uk we have to insure the vehicle and select what car it would be listed under, what modifications have been done to it etc. Which ultimately is a complete nightmare! Is it the same over there or is it much simpler? Keep up the great work, I always look forwards to watching each episode!
Where is the fan going to be? I looks like it is not going to fit. Are you going to be using 2 small ones or one big one? Also Tough, Ainge earth bender teacher, is also a metal bender in the Nickelodeon Avatar.
Im a big fan of this awesome build however can you Please not do round lights 🙏🏼 this car will look so much cooler with some sort of vertical lights like the McLaren GTS or something 🤞🏼
With the amount of F’ing around you guys do taking the clam shell on and off how about you attach a pulley to the roof so you can throw the clam on some rope/paracord it’d save you so much time and effort going back and forth.
Without question, you are exceptional engineers. My question is, would it not have been far easier to have built your own chassis to begin with? It seems to me by the time you finish you would’ve chopped off 90% of the original Car
That would take way more time and money, let alone the headache they’ll have. This way makes more sense because the boxster is a proven chassis with great handling characteristics. If they want to build different control arms the original is an example for them, let alone coming up with, buying and installing things like the brakes, suspension, steering, windshield, wiring harness, gearbox and safety and chassis stiffness (the boxster is a convertible so it doesnt need a roof to be stiff)
And what about the availability of parts in the future. If you use a known and well-functioning technique, long-term use is also guaranteed. Existing parts are generally more readily available than home-made parts.
Every kit Car, I know uses well-known parts and I would question how much of the original “well sorted chassis “remains. I’m just asking questions here ..
Those Bozo punching bag clowns take me back to about age 5, early 70's, loved mine...punching, tackling, wrestling, and just general rough housing Bozo.
your cutting out big chunks of metal is weakening the whole structure of the porsche, which is the result of at least four generations of German master engineers… no concerns about rigidity and stability?

Did I just watch 26 minutes of two dudes trying to mount a radiator?
Practice makes progress 😂

@@CrucibleCoachworks You guys are doing incredible work here. I just thought it was a funny thing to think about. Wasn't complaining.
Ever seen the clear kayaks? You could skin it transparent. Then have vinyl wrap over that with patterns and cut-outs and ambient lights underneath.
I was starting to recommend leather but the other one would be much better.

Lots of progress.
Amazing.
Watching the birth of a new car.

Such a great channel guys.. I’m thoroughly enjoying following this build. 🥳
I cant do well in school at all so im taking my dads 1998 chevy cavalier, making it a 2 door hatchback with the rear end of a 1998 Mitsubishi Starion, and making it mid engine with a 2001 Ford 6.8 Triton V10 and T56 gears put inside of a C6 Corvette Transaxle.

I agree radius the upper tabs to fit the pipe. lol MORE work! awesome looking build so far.
It seems like you could possibly use your new front crash bar as a pivot for the front clamshell. 😁 Personally, whenever I'm designing something, I love for one part to serve two or three functions. ☺️💜 Gorgeous welding BTW.
Excellent work. I NEED that Gran Turismo 3 ad in the warehouse :)
It gave me great pleasure to watch the front end getting “bucked” off the car, carry on lads.
Love that metric measuring. 👌
This series has been giving me ideas To get my hands-on a late 80s Early nineties Corvette And convert it into a modern version Of the Shelby Daytona
A nice big hole in the front of the brackets you boxed in would give a factory look and I agree the top mounts need a turn down 😁
Nice work so far really enjoying the build

And to a Sema standard..
I would add some rubber to the rad mounts to prevent cracks....
there's foam on them.
Great work, looking forward to seeing the skin forming and the airflow. What is happening with the other projects on the channel?
Great stuff, guys. Really interesting series to watch.
Much appreciated!
Nowhere near enough content for this length video. Come on guys!
I wish I had your tool inventory!!!
A Board Stretcher ?!
I knew it
😂
Did you debate making the crash beam have a bend? Is the planned tilt point going to be framed off that?
Took some messing round but well worth it in the end.
Armpit trick FTW
Great progress
It amazes me how patient Tony is putting up with Ryan 😂
It goes both ways 😤😤😤
I think 928 headlights would be the best option it would look the best in my opinion
I’m a big fan of this build and hoping it will be at Carlisle in a month for public viewing, but come on give the Iconic Lamborghini a little credit, it’s called a Miura!
Please weld those bumper absorbers.. I know this is an old video and I have yet to watch the newer ones (watched before work but I'll catch up)
Earth benders do bend metal in the animated show!
Good stuff....nice one
Now THIS is pod racing!
Nice build, coming from a pontiac fiero owner. Keep it going, Nice video?
Amazing 👏
Are you going to run the oil coolers down in the front, or are they going to be nearer to the engine? Great work, and I can hardly wait to see you guys put some skin on the car.

I love the sarcasm.
Hail Satin!

exercise in awesomeness !!!!!
Why lose the front trunk?
Get smaller side and center radiators.
I hope you guys isolate that radiator with rubbers, alli radiators don't love vibration, they go cracky crack.
Where is the fan going to be? I looks like it is not going to fit. Are you going to be using 2 small ones or one big one? Also Tough, Ainge earth bender teacher, is also a metal bender in the Nickelodeon Avatar.
Im a big fan of this awesome build however can you Please not do round lights 🙏🏼 this car will look so much cooler with some sort of vertical lights like the McLaren GTS or something 🤞🏼
Any 928 updates?
''super car'' with MacPherson? No way!
Wait, do you only ship to United States? But I want a shop shirt!

When all else fails, RTFM...🤣
With the amount of F’ing around you guys do taking the clam shell on and off how about you attach a pulley to the roof so you can throw the clam on some rope/paracord it’d save you so much time and effort going back and forth.
Have you given any thought as to how it will hinge yet?
Yep we have a couple ideas! We’ll be fleshing them out soon.
Without question, you are exceptional engineers. My question is, would it not have been far easier to have built your own chassis to begin with? It seems to me by the time you finish you would’ve chopped off 90% of the original Car

Every kit Car, I know uses well-known parts and I would question how much of the original “well sorted chassis “remains.
I’m just asking questions here ..
The other reason that has been mentioned several times in the various videos is simply that they had this chassis.😜
Trying to figure out suspension geometry and building it is time consuming.
You're total -ly modifying of course!
Delete the booster and go manual brakes!
Progress
no rubber mounts on the radiator? yikes. that thing's got an expiration date. and those griffins are expensive...
It’s isolated with foam that came in the kit, however we will likely change it out for rubber.
Christmas tree drill bits are junk
Jesus everybody knows you just buy a radiator and bolt it in, how hard is that? It’s not like this is a custom car or something
It looks like lightning McQueen
Those Bozo punching bag clowns take me back to about age 5, early 70's, loved mine...punching, tackling, wrestling, and just general rough housing Bozo.
Ryan I’m very disappointed in your avatar knowledge 😂😂
I am too honestly 😂 I didn’t watch a lot of it unlike other shows of that era.
Random Question but is this a father - son project or are you two just buddies haha
Good thing Porshe doesn't follow the same business ethos as Ferrari...
Bruh when are they gonna finish their other projects. They have a little bit of davinci syndrome.
your cutting out big chunks of metal is weakening the whole structure of the porsche, which is the result of at least four generations of German master engineers… no concerns about rigidity and stability?
I’m 55 bro will this be finished before I die? A lot of talk little to no progress. Please hurry my clocks ticking. Almost 30 minutes for 2 brackets?
Like the video but the background music is a bit loud and does not really fit. Switching genres over the course of the video.
sorry to say but european truck's are way more nicer and powerful than american trucks look

Don't waste our time upload the real
progress so slow. meh. bye,
I mean, it's almost like they are building it from scratch when they aren't doing work in the shop for their customers. Weird.
no, not weird, just unwatchable to a person like me who values their time.@@LowFlyinOK
