Congratulations on episode 40! The kitties are looking great and mom seems to be pretty relaxed. The floor plate with the pedal assembly is great; no flexing going on there for sure. Thanks for sharing. Love the shirt.
That transition to under the car was so smooth I almost completely missed it. Nice camera/editing work! (Of course the build itself is amazing too but I wanted to call this out since I noticed it)
Hey happy 40th episode now it matches your age! Love the kittens segment, I didn't know about their inability to retract their little needles until they grow older. Nice spotting of the Mustang stamping on the SInger too. Your fab is fantastic as usual Chris, always good to see your new videos.
Happy 40th bro! Maniac kittens rule. Repurposing is a genius art. Undercoating and seam sealing always makes me nervous because of potential moisture trapping. I prefer just good paint so you can always check on it, but I know you'll do it right. Love metal forming / shaping... Makes me think of John Kelly who contributed a lot to the 914 forums.
I don't know if someone gave you a hard time for sourcing items from let's say unconventional places but.. A local had a fab / pro-touring / restoration business and was involved in the build of a Chevy II named II Much fabrication which sold at Barret Jackson. On his own 69 Camaro build, he used a wheel barrow tub for part of the firewall to fit the engine set back. Of course there is execution and knowing the quality of material but it happens all the time and has for the history of hot rodding and racing. I like your execution and Good work as always.
That my friend is overkill! But it's not like you're going to have a lack of horsepower to make up for it! There's a shop in PA called Translog. Years ago the owner Tony Miller did a 914 where he went whole hog stiffening the chassis without tubing or a roll cage. Very weigh efficient stiffening and it looked beautiful to boot. I don't know if there's any cataloguing of that car anywhere on line but search around, you may find something. Tony is a master fabricator with a lot of super off the wall P car builds.
I love the overkill aspect of this build. Beginning with a v8 ferrari engine, how do you not follow up with more. I love the pedals in this car as well. I recommend checking out the whole video for Radial Engine Nitrous Porsche 356 Outlaw on Outlaw Garage's channel. The pedals in that car are insane as shown starting at 9:20 in that video. And no, I don't have a feet thing... I just like cool cars with cool pedals.
Like I've said before: No kill like OVERKILL! Thanks for the heads up on Tony's builds - I took a look and that really is next level. Lots of insane fab and other goodies! Wow...
What are you doing to protect the metal where you have stacked up multiple layers? I didn't notice any paint under the pedal mounting plate, for example.
Hi Dave - The floor and the underside of the plate were primed prior to welding - as was the underside of the floor and the inside of the support component.
Great tip on how to de-oil can a section you’ve buckled while working. And of course, tips on proper kitty maintenance too. Congrats on #40👍

Thanks Michael! I have a hoodie for you when we next meet up.
Beautiful finished set-up, congratulations and again thanks for sharing your process!
Glad to hear you're enjoying. Any progress on your build?

Ha! If only I could get all my work to be that smooth... Thanks for watching/commenting!

Matches my age? I wish! ;-) But in a few months (and 26 more episodes), it will!
Thank you - I enjoy your great work on these projects!
Glad to hear it - and thanks for watching/commenting. And subscribing!

Hey Rand - Glad to hear you're enjoying the build! You heading to Bend this weekend to check out WCR?
@@attheredbarn1669 Not this year. Wish I was! Bend is a great area. Enjoy your BBQ!

No hard time, I just love seeing stuff like that on super high-end builds. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Those pedals won't be falling out any time soon!
They better not! And thanks for your support.
@@attheredbarn1669 I'm enjoying following your builds. I'm watching a wet Le Mans, 10 mins to go, it looks like a Ferrari win again.

Thanks for the comment - I'll check that out.

Maybe the work light frequency does not match the video frame rate?
It's weird. It did it that one time only. Same light used in other scenes and it worked fine. As I say: "It's always something!"
First 😂…
You win!
@@attheredbarn1669 Thanks 😁 really cool project! Good luck, I will follow and see every episode! I’m looking forward to see this little beast running!
