Watching your videos you can really admire the care and attention you put into each of your builds.
1:37 Spotted an alien on the bottom left on the screen. 🙂
You kicked ass on this build. Looks great! Can't wait to see it on the trails.
Best built I've seen so far
That looks like it should be selling for 20k at my nearest motor sports shop. HOLY COW. It’s so beautiful
Yes . that's bad ass . one of the best builds yet very nice
Dude, it looks so good. I like that you went with a two toned paint job and left the floor pans as they are. The craftsmanship you do in your garage is something I can only dream of. That's a badass machine.
1- use good automotive primer, I use duplicolor. 2- light sand the primer 3- use whatever paint you want, I prefer regular rustoleum, its hella tough. 4- use 2k clear coat, not 2x! Eastwood and spraymax are good 2k's. This is since you love the cans so much...
16:22 I have never seen that much red loctite on a bolt in my life. You're gonna have to burn that thing to the ground to get that bolt off so you can actually pack grease in those axle bearings
The rear axle bearing should be packed with grease. Amazing build tho , i watch all you videos
I was thinking the same thing. He may have problems later on
Yup... Its tight but its not water tight. Hopefully he has a grease nipple on there and he just edited over that part. Otherwise...
DUN DUN DUNNNN.... LOL
My thoughts exactly. Looks great though bud. Best paint job yet. And, the engine's not smoking at all anymore - good deal!
I have commented on this twice in 2 separate videos. His little air cooled VW style oil slinger contraption isn't going to do a thing. He needs to find a way to install seals and pack it with grease. Its gonna fill up with sand, mud and all kinds of stuff, especially the first time he sinks the axle below water. All that work will be toast. He did and awesome job everywhere else, but his rear axles are full of fail.
Going to be fun taking it apart again too with the amount of locktite used!
Great builds and always good to watch, don’t always believe what you read on spray cans those one coat solutions don’t always work out. my advice is always use a good etch primer on bear metal it’s more steps but it lasts longer against rust and is far more durable in the long term and helps with a good finish. keep up the good work 👍
I second this recommendation. Once you've used a true metal etching primer you'll never go back to the general purpose primer. Just be careful with that stuff on plastics. It'll turn it into a pile of steamy goo.
i use Krylon when i paint axles, and i found some stuff a few years ago thats almost as tough as a powder coat, its an enamel coating kind of paint, might be worth a shot on a future project, buggy looks sweet bro, this thing is a masterpiece and proof that a guy in his garage with a welder, some skill, and an idea of what he wants to do, can make something really cool and unique. keep on wrenchin' and god bless
Perhaps the silver paint needs to be primered despite what they say.
ALL paint should use a primer no matter what the label says!
A self etching primer would be a good choice or an epoxy primer.
From the shine on the metal underneath, I would put some of the blame on prep. A good acid etch primer would have helped. Soap, water and Scotch Brite pads followed by immediate drying off would have done wonders.
@@Mekhanic1 jep he can put layer and layer on top of the silver and i will not stick, you have to prime
The steel needs blasting to give a good key for the paint to stick, home user etch is nothing more than tinted thinners and does nothing!
It looks like it drove out of a very expensive production factory ! Excellent work bro, like very excellent !
I just completed a project yesterday building a bike trailer which took 2 days of welding fabricating grinding painting etc and on the last day I was mentally exhausted can’t imagine the time and effort this guy puts into his builds
haven t seen all your videos but what i like about your channel is that when you have finished a project you don t try to destroy the whole thing for klicks, only to show how you repair it again. is a lot of work guys so just be a little gentle
Out of all the UA-camrs I think you are the best in skill you are great at what you do I see the hard worker you put in that Machine ‼️
Nicely done. 2K catalysed clear is compatible with rustoleum. Durable but $22 a can
14:09 that's exactly why I love your channel. "how in the world am I going to do this" not "this looks impossible, better give up"
Very nice job with the paint....people don't understand the time and effort it takes to tear it apart and put it back together, not to mention all the time spent grinding and cleaning!!! Keep up the good work
One of the reasons i love your work, is the fact that you share your experience even when it is not really working.. and i just love your choice of music... this is one of my favorit channel.. you have my respects.. 😊 greetings from Denmark.
Wow, that made a world of difference! A much needed facelift. Well done!
Hi mate, that silver needs to be painted over a black acrylic base coat in order for it to adhere properly, it also needs a good quality clear coat in order for it to shine and really pop in the sunlight.
Also just a suggestion, if you’re going to build a buggy like this in the future with a bike engine it may be a good idea to make a removable engine subframe so that you can lower the engine out of the frame.
Aside from this you’ve done an awesome job again.
Nice job!! It looks really good. I love that you build a rotisserie for painting it. If you get some pistol grips for the paint cans, and heat up the paint in hot water, it goes on smoother and uses less paint.
21:25 is cool but it would be a lot cooler with about 8" less headroom.
Ken Design I think it’s fine how it is. It’s just more room for the roof to cave in before it crushes his head
@@mefoy3766It won't cave in if it's 8" lower
Fantastic project mate!! And she looks brilliant in the colours you've chosen. Enjoy it's looks... then drive it... Love the way she lifts her nose on acceleration hahaha... perfect! Nice work!!
Congratulations!!!! You finished the megaproject! Thanks for best content, best ideas and best makes!!!
Well done that is the best buggy you have done , so far , I'm sure there will be many more . Your lathe work is so good it must save you a fortune on parts ,& yours would be much stronger . The time you spend on your projects , I don't think you could put a price on them , because they are hand built , for that reason no one would pay what they are truly worth . You may have to build a bigger trailer to put it on so you can carry more stuff with you . Mate it's brilliant , you should be so proud of yourself . Job well done ! Mal
Great to see you finishing up the buggy. For paint....have you ever considered Rustoleum enamel in gallon cans. Combined with Valspar enamel hardener it shoots well, dries fairly quick and ends up as a tough coat. I shoot it from a purple HF gravity feed gun. Lots faster than doing all the little spray cans and usually ends up cheaper to boot.
It's amazing what a man with the right tools can accomplish! I bet you felt such a level of accomplishment. I've rebuilt a few yamaha banshees from the frame up. But this is a whole other level. Mad respect to you sir for the hard work, drive and passion. She looks great. The only thing I would personally would be seat belt harnesses.
You're such a prolific builder. I enjoy each machine you construct. Hope you continue for the foreseeable future.
You are a awesome mechanic. I want to be like you. Such craftsmanship
You said some time ago you would put bigger tires on it. We would all love to see that! Great build as always. Your channel is my favorite!
this whole build was just wild. when you decided you were gonna build your own brakes and it worked i was blown away lol. good stuff man
Awesome build!! What you do by yourself is truly amazing!! Love your videos keep up the good work!
The Buggy looks really good. Great Job with the painting.
It makes really fun to watch you working, maybe my next Projekt will also something driveable 🤔
Dude! You're a mad man! There is NO way I would have stripped it down that far! I respect your gumption sir!👍😂
People who leave a negative comment I have to ask. What makes you think anyone cares what you think? Also what have you done that makes you qualified to judge someone else? This guy is all heart and doesn't over illustrate. Well done. I watched the whole build pretty much in one sitting. Good luck i will be hoping for the best for you.
I used that automotive Dupli Color on my ice fish house frame. I chose the jet black because NAPA didn't have gloss black. I painted it back in 2010 and its held up in Minnesota weather since then.
Paint and electrical, two of my worst enemies
absolutely. I always mess up on paint and wiring
I can relate so deeply. Love Painting just not the prep
Powder coating isn't very expensive anymore at least where I'm at when you factor in your time to clean, prep, and paint plus most places warranty the powder coating at least for a little while
@@VasilyBuilds Hey Vasily! Good to see you, bro. I was just watching your latest video earlier today.
Oh I'm sure he'd rather be welding. Sorry. Couldn't help it!
Excellent job and craftsmanship. I'll be starting a new one in the spring and you've got me motivated, thanks.
Followed it start to finish. Great build and inspiring.
Next project should be about the same...but jump on the LS bandwagon and build a v8 rail. Would be fun to watch you do that project and see your skills progressing.
Keep up the great work, love the channel!
You sir are the king of welding. Amazing work.
Hey rather B welding, an absolutely cool project you have there. It looks like it's done now. Please, for the next project do something with four-wheel drive and maybe a V6 or V8 or something like that. That would be the hammer
You have it. Greetings from Germany.
Lukas from LB Custom
You should spray a gloss black behind the chrome paint it should help it stick and make the finished paint job a lot more shiny.
All that work disassembling, I would have used a real 2 part urethane paint with an epoxy primer.
I watched this when the videos were coming out, but I had one of the videos from the series pop up as a suggestion yesterday, so I rewatched them. Now that it's been a while and a half, I now had suggestions. Wheel alignment for sure, maybe an electric wench that drives a chain and sprocket that spins on the outside of what you already have connected to the drive shaft, on a free spot on the chain. And maybe some optional flip out/down mirrors. The reverse would just be on a push button that only works with the motor in neutral or requires the clutch to be fully pressed when you press the button. But that's all in the past now. Oh well. Lol
It looks great! Thumbs up! I hope the paint holds up. Well Done!!
Wow, fantastic end result! I know the feeling of not wanting to get your creation dirty. You'll get over it as soon as you hit the first puddle. That new camera slide device is pretty cool for those time lapse video segments. Looking forward to the next video!!
You did a very good job Chris
I really enjoy watching you make everything from scratch.
The VF1000 project Buggy is badass you should go in business building these and selling them as side by sides and mini buggys also keep up the good work
Been watching your videos lately... Got to say some amazing skills you have cannot get enough of your builds
guauuu!!!!!! estoy tan emocionadao como vos, y sorprendido por el exelente resultado y todo hecho en tu garage!!!! eres un exelente constructor, que los disfrutes mucho!!!
Great build, followed it from the beginning. Thank you
I’m ready for a full send and see them kings do what they are made for!!
Lower the roof and throw some 40s on it, then you have a dope build
Yes!
Widen the front put to bring those king shocks down a bit too!
Brilliant work, your attention to detail is spot on!
Holy shot dude! Best build you’ve done so far no doubt! Super sick man!
some etch primer would have made the silver work, but auto paint is better regardless. Buggy looks great now! I'd also do the wheels in blue too, when you get some taller tires.
Very good build. U could get anything better looking from factory. U just need bigger tires on it
Looks great!
I especially like how the two-tone color was a vibrant one on this build.
That’s a cool buggy 👍😎 you need to take it to the desert or beach and let rip 🤘 nice work 👍
awesome colors!!!!, would only put some plating around where you sit, the front wheels will spray a lott of mud inside like it is now , mean when going through corners, but absolutely love the design!! Mad Max vehicle at its best!!
Great looking build. The paint job looks amazing and it looks wicked fast and super aggressive
You did a great job on this project. Congrats and have fun!
Best build so far from all the kart guys. I wish the top window bar ended up being 10 to 12 inches lower. Maybe top bar of the light cage was at the window bar hight. If that makes any sence at all. Lol
But its bad ass. Props on the fab work!!
i always shoot a couple coats of black before a metallic paint, gives the metallic a nice pop and might have helped your silver hold on there a bit better
might I make a suggestion next time , you run the wires threw the frame tube. hidden out of sight it will make a neater job and more professional look.
I love your work and your videos.
the cleaning of all the steel before paint .... that has to be a form of hell
Very nice, and you did accomplish your goal of making it look more "professionally" built. Thumbs up.
It looks cool and works well but now it is time for a 4wd version
With Reverse !
@@88s10Durango Agreed!👆
Could that engine manage 4wd?
@@muhammetduran6295 yes, but he's not gonna make that 4wd, he's most likely going to make a new rig with more power
@@jdonjaeger2688 he has 1000cc already, so I assume you mean a car engine, and front and rear differential, it will require transmission too. I am not sure if he can build something bigger than this with those tools. I hope he does, his videos are pretty good.
love the paint
On tubing 180grit then use self etching primer then sand with like 400 then paint and if you're using clear coat always use 2k clear. Super durable
Hey man! Fantastic video as per usual, you never fail to surpass my expectations. Your content inspires me to do more in the engineering community amongst many other viewers, thank you so much :)
Great build all the way to the end ...honest in every video is awesome ...really think your buggy should be an example of how things should be made on production lines
This is a really good color choice, looks sick!
For the Cost of all the Spray Paint, can't you get it powdercoated instead? Maybe that would have been a good alternative..
But very cool build
Good point but there may not be a place where he lives that could handle the size.
Etching primer before you paint on the metal will help a lot!!!
Wow! That looks amazing! That is the best looking crosskart, dunebuggy, offroad thingy, or what ever long ass name you call it! Now i know what colors ill use on my crosskart! thank you for doing this
Needed an acid etch primer metal looks slick as glass... all paint survives better with primer. That being said you did an awesome job on the build .. finished product looks amazing.
Watching in Alabama
G'day Mate I know it's too late now , but next time use a two pack paint it has a hardner , it makes super hard longer lasting & gives a deep wet look to it ,
You would get it from an auto parts place too .
awesome build man. love it, wish i could drive that thing aroujd in the desert here in so cal.
Great job.. The build turned out nice. It looks awesome..
Awesome build and colours.
The only thing I do not like about this buggy is that it is not mine. Great job building and designing this thing. Love it.
Best build and video you’ve done yet. Great time lapse. Amazing results
Love the paint job. Nice build
You could weld in some sheet steel in to stop rocks and mud. Just an idea. Love the project Tho looks sick!!
I just bought a UTV (kawaSAKI tERYX) for around $14k and after watching your video on this 1000cc buggy build, I think your finished buggy is better. But -- I've notice in watching this build plus several of your other ones, re-purposed parts from other machines to use on your builds are not nearly what is usually required. Parts such as brake calipers, axles, wheels, rims, gauges, etc. you usually opt to buy or have custom-made. Finally my question(s):
--how much money have you spent on this project?
--do you normally sell your finished buggies?
--what do you do for a living...interested because I don't have a lot a free money to spend?
Great job colors turned out awesome.
Looks great! Very inspirational. Now the question is what's next after this. It won't be easy topping that machine. I have an idea for you. Make a torque monster. Same kind of frame with a 4 cylinder car engine......
All you need to finish that build is a nice five point harness to go off roading with.
U made a great machine that will roll over everything it's a beast. wonderful job has done and what to say it's awesome
You have come along way RBW (THE VF 1000 is A ++++++! Grate looks !So crazy cool! )I know you wanted reverse. So thats what should be next for the vf 1000! Yes its a big job. But ive seen it in you!!!!!!! So just do it!!!!!!! Thanks for all the hard work!
Now ya gotta team up with Red beard when his buggy is done. I have a feeling that yours is going to run circles around his, cause for once you're not the one with the underpowered toy! Lol
You do realize reds is going to be supercharged and almost 80 hp? And not to mention quite a bit lighter than this buggy.
@@michiganvapemafia595 Also that 670 is quite torguey as is, it's gonna be a good ride.
@@michiganvapemafia595 yup and I think its gonna be at its limits doing it and is barely gonna match what this one does. I also think his #s are waaay to optimistic. I stand by my original comment.
@@nap8187 yeah it'll fun forsure.
His numbers aren’t optimistic at all. I respect what you think however I disagree. Have you ever built a 670? I have and all motor with the cheapest stuff I could buy and minimal boring for a bigger forged piston I brake dynoed mine at 55hp. All motor no big money modifications just doing what I could do at home on a budget. That man has way higher quality parts going into that engine and on top of that a supercharger. That engine will be above and beyond what mine was. Also mine was on a rigid frame a little smaller than his and an underated torque converter and I could still pull 80mph out of mine. I think what red is building will be a bit more matched motor to size than this buggy here is. I love rbw builds the mans got skill but I still am unimpressed by the motor he put on such a piece of artwork as a damn near professional build.
Great work, it looks the business.
If you don't want to get it dirty, just stick some slicks on it and take it to the strip
Amazing project! great work!
Looks amazing but those tiny tires make it look like a monster truck on trailer tires. You need some 30-32" tires like the UTV guys.
My hat goes off to this guy for his hard work...
Wow best build 2019 had a great time watching this creation if you are ever in Florida hit me up would love to see it on the Ocala National Forest💯
