    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.

    • @AustinCoulson

      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?

    • @AustinCoulson
      @AustinCoulson  Рік тому +2

      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.

    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.

    • @AustinCoulson
      @AustinCoulson  Рік тому

      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.

    Why T.F make the engine set next to you?

    • @AustinCoulson
      @AustinCoulson  11 місяців тому

      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.

    Why use all the upgraded shocks when you're keeping stock arms and it still has the same amount of movement

    • @AustinCoulson
      @AustinCoulson  Рік тому +1

      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.

  • @OriginalMomo
    @OriginalMomo Рік тому

    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

    • @AustinCoulson
      @AustinCoulson  Рік тому +2

      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.
