I saw this pop up in my feed... and I thought, "you mean he did it again and didn't share it step by step like last time?!?"... and then I see this time lapse. Thank you for uploading this time lapse summary. I hope it brings more people to your channel here... it was nice to get a review/reminder of that build. It was fun to watch.
Lol, if I did it again, I would definitely make it look better. I've been wanting to do a final time lapse for over a year, but didn't want to do it until it was finished and it really needed the bump stops, window nets and stiffer springs.
I've been lurking this build for years, and I really gotta say, i hope this channels grows and you get the traction you deserve. Sick build, making the Crown Vic world happy. If you could get out to some dunes with that thing it'd be nuts.
I've been trying to get this to the dunes since it was built. Unfortunately I am now like 2k miles from Glamis, so I'll have to find some dunes in WA or OR.
@@AustinCoulson Well if you planned ahead and maybe tried to time it with the wave of other Content creators (i.e. Boosted BoostedBois, SXS Blog, or Cleetus), it could really help you gain subs en masse. Plus, Glamis is for sure qn qbsolute epic trip, definitely worth the distance to let that thing eat it up!
You put the engine in the same spot as an ole water-pumper buggy. That's probably the coolest thing about this, but I personally wouldn't want that hot mother-hubbard right next to my legs. Not to mention if a piston or rod comes flying out the side of the block to shatter your fibula and give you second-degree coolant burns.
Your channel randomly popped up in my feed last night. It was your atlas two post install video. I’m in the process of building at 2500 sqft shop behind my house in AZ. Just waiting on concrete. But I’ve been scoping out lift reviews & install videos. But seeing that buggy thingamajig in the background peaked my interest. Then I found out it was a crown Vic. I’m somewhat bingeing that series (on episode 8). Then all of a sudden I see this condensed video pop up. Good stuff. What a coincidence.
Oh gosh, those individual episodes are so terrible. I just had to rewatch those to edit this one and it was not fun. Good luck on your building, The first part of this video was my 1500 sq ft shop in Phx and the second part was my new 2700 sq ft shop in Washington. What part of AZ are you building in?
Excellent work! I was really blown away by it all. After reading the budget, it's awesome that you left it for the tubing and steel, shocks, seats, wheels, exhaust, radiator, locker, and tires... That's an insane amount of work knowing that three things were stock: engine, transmission, and axles. Really loved how you mixed the bead rolling and panel bending into the project! Since posting this video: Would you have any recommendations on tear-down that would make the next build quicker?
Oh my goodness, there is so much I would do differently. I had a background doing more traditional restorations and resto-mods at the time and before that I built off road trucks and I wanted to try something really wacky. I will never use fiberglass again for a personal project and I would spend a lot more time planning the exterior. That being said, although this truck looks ugly imo, it is really well balanced, super reliable, and way faster than expected.
A very nice affordable trophy truck. That's If you're a skilled fabricator and mechanic like Austin. If not it will cost you a little bit more. Awesome machine.
I just watched this entire build, but your original videos. Awesome project across the board. Really dig it. You should check out SV Seeker if you want to gain A LOT of knowledge on welding and fabricating. It was a couple of years ago, but when you were welding up your exhaust, you put up a pinned note asking about aluminum welding and how most people do it. Check out SV Seeker's channel when Doug is fabricating his aluminum tender boat. They go into a lot of detail on welding setup and settings on that, and a lot of experts from all over the world went to help him build his Chinese junk sailboat (now he's out in the Gulf of Mexico on that thing. Amazing.) Anyway, man, I love your content. Thanks. Edit: If the windows still stick out to you, you could get some of those ribbon or strap style race car window nets and cut it down to only fit the bottom half of the windows, then you could unsnap that to get in and out, and it'd make it look better.
You know he got the "I'm gonna use my cool-guy machine today" from his mom: "Hey honey, you gonna play with your cool-guy toy that mommy bought you today?"
Loved it! What’s the quick release steering wheel hub you used. Looking to put one on the 93 f150 and want to reuse the steering wheel backing plate with the splines in it. Thanks
This was almost three years ago and I got it on eBay so I don't have a link, but the best way to find one that will work is to find the steering wheel you want to use, then search eBay for an adapter that has the correct bolt pattern on the steering wheel side and a standard 6 hole on the other.
You should definitely list this, or upload an improved version on your channel, these "Building a _____ in X minutes" videos are actually pretty popular, and I'm sure people would love to see it. I know I did ETA: Also, being in AZ myself, I really need to figure out where those dirt spots you took it to are. Gotta go have myself some fun
The first test was at lower sycamore creek on the 87 on the way to Payson from Phoenix. The end is actually in Washington State where I moved, although it looks just like Northern AZ
This is a Gen II speedway motors setup, but it's basically the same as a bunch of different ones on the market like the Eastwood or jegs bender. I love it, but it takes some getting used to
It has about double the travel because the old coils and bumpstops limited up travel and the old shocks limited down travel. I kept the stock arms because this was an extreme budget build and I had to keep costs low. Replacement uppers are like 30$ and the lowers are like 70$ but I haven't broken one yet.
I’m sorry, I was following until you move the engine inside where you’re supposed to sit. That was stupid. You would’ve been better off putting it in the backseat. Why didn’t you just leave the engine and transmission up front? Plenty of trophy truck still have the engine upfront
The top three reasons I moved the engine back: 1. Weight balance 2. Weight balance 3. Weight balance It couldn't be moved farther back without switching to a transaxle and this was a super low budget build. Actual Trophy trucks have the engine up front but still behind the center of the front suspension for weight balance.

Such a cool build. Came here to watch after seeing this on marketplace
Watched 4 videos so far, absolutely love the channel, it tickles my brain.

Beautiful fabrication, you are an automotive artist!
I was watching Last year all the movies of The builds.
Nice moments.
This channel needs to blow up.

I’m up in Wittmann on 2 acres.
SIIIIICK!!!! your fabing skills are insane! Love the simplistic yet quality architecture!
Coolest Crown Vic around.
Awesome seeing the family supporting you and even participating. Love the content. You will be at 150K subs in no time
What anawesome build. So glad I found your channel.
really cool project. monumental amount of work

For such a young man he seems to have a vast amount of knowledge.
This was such a fun build to watch! I love it

Mad Max called and he wants his truck back!
The popsicle!! “Sure is yummy!” 😂

Sincerely Hollandduck
Thanks Hollandduck, Happy New Year to you!
@@AustinCoulson 👍
Looks awesome!
Beatiful and second temp...

I see you're selling this guy! People of Spokane, this is your chance.
Correct. Hopefully it goes to someone that will beat the hell out of it in the dirt

Noticed the old Citroën 2CV in the background. Are you planning anything special with that?
I sold that a while back. I do have a bunch of videos on it if you scroll back on my channel
ОГОНЬ ПРОЕКТ!!!!!!✨✨✨✨✨
Is that 7 Mile ORV park?
It is indeed
Nice build bro
But one question
Why T.F make the engine set next to you?
Weight balance. It started off like 72/28 on the crown Vic and ended 48/52 on the buggy. Otherwise it would have been terrible off road.
You should definitely list this, or upload an improved version on your channel, these "Building a _____ in X minutes" videos are actually pretty popular, and I'm sure people would love to see it. I know I did
ETA: Also, being in AZ myself, I really need to figure out where those dirt spots you took it to are. Gotta go have myself some fun
The first test was at lower sycamore creek on the 87 on the way to Payson from Phoenix. The end is actually in Washington State where I moved, although it looks just like Northern AZ
@@AustinCoulson Ah damn. That flat dirt looked fun as hell. Oh well, guess I'm taking a trip to Sycamore Creek next time I'm in East Phoenix
Seeing how little was left of the original frame why didn't you just weld together you're own?
What type of tubing bender do you have?
This is a Gen II speedway motors setup, but it's basically the same as a bunch of different ones on the market like the Eastwood or jegs bender. I love it, but it takes some getting used to
I like the truck, even if I'm not sure of the looks 😄
I built it and I hate the way it looks.
I saw this Currently listed for sale at 6k on Facebook marketplace.
Yup, trying to find a good home for it
Why use all the upgraded shocks when you're keeping stock arms and it still has the same amount of movement
It has about double the travel because the old coils and bumpstops limited up travel and the old shocks limited down travel. I kept the stock arms because this was an extreme budget build and I had to keep costs low. Replacement uppers are like 30$ and the lowers are like 70$ but I haven't broken one yet.
Good 👍 im korea se jong my name is cheol lee

id take your truck over that raptor.
This is ridiculous.
