I love that you took the UA-cam comments to heart and bought the expensive bits, and lubricated before drilling.
Please carry on with these 'digestible' size clips!
You provide just the right amount of detail for we apprentices!
Love to see any progress at all on the 356. Little progress is much better than now progress. Keep it up!🙂
Nicely done Dom. Now another side hustle. Repair section for the unobtanium 356 panels. Thanks for the update,always like to see progress on the 356.
I agree!!! Do something each video and you'll have a solid shell before you know it!!! Nice work!!!
Small updates would be great. Every one will be an improvement on an area so great to see it as it develops.
I’m in the process of rebuilding my own 356A. It is a long slog but this was my first car. My son and a friend of his are helping me as I don’t bend that easily. Love watching the progress keep it up. 20:41
These are great videos, appreciate all the time it takes to film and edit.
Short updates are good Dom 👍
glad to hear it, thank you
Wurth a name I've never heard of, thanks Dom.
Lovely, to see the excitement Dom has almost like a kid in a candy store👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great to see an update - keep chipping away!
All progress is good progress. Very happy to see little updates and short videos.
Small updates get my vote. Thanks Dom!
It’s great it’s the Porsche. Yes one panel dune. Just keep going like that and you will get there. Wish I was closer to you would be glad to help make panels. Just keep with updates when you can. Progress is progress big👍
I enjoy seeing any progress at all, no matter how small. Really enjoying this project. Keep up the great work Dom.
Thank you I appreciate the comment
@@DominicChineas Hi I mentioned the '57 356 I'm working on, the heater tubes where the heater cans attach have been got at and it would save me guessing if I could make a simple jig or similar off your car, I think your coupe is a mid '57 too. Thanks .
I enjoy the small updates. Seeing each piece, however small, come together is great…..it gives an accurate portrayal of what goes into a restoration of this magnitude. Keep up the good work.
These lengths of video are ideal Dom. That was interesting, thanks.
Anything at all. I feel you should do what you can fit in, not what we'd like. You're so clever making that panel. You're endless positivity is a joy too. Thank you.
Dom do whatever best for you and we will keep watching
Shorts are good,especially in warm weather👍😁
Haha perfect.
Yes any bits and bobs you can give us on the Porsche 356 restoration are much appreciated and the reason why I watch your channel.
Great start :) Worth looking at using proper CAD to draw the profiles, you can then print a 1:1 on paper before committing to cutting steel (I design sheet metal products for a living and still do this to check my profiles are good). I use SolidEdge at work and they offer the 2D version as a free license. Its parametric too so you can dimension stuff up and move it about as you work on it.
Thank you so much I will look into that!
I here you can get 3D apps for your mobile phone, may be worth a try?
CAD? Cardboard aided design? 😊
LOL I actually joked to her indoors "I wonder if the table can cut cardboard too cos otherwise we're gonna waste a lot of steel"
Seriously though I assumed there would be a less expensive way round the issue.
My first thought on seeing the first part 'wrong' was, can't you print a paper version to check? Whatever it costs, Dom, it'll be cheaper than using 4x steel!
I like 20 minute vids, they don't take too much out of my day. A 45 minute vid is good but it's a hefty chunk of time to commit to.
Hi Dom , Well you can only be in one place at a time so do what you can at the time you have available.
Also i do love Repair shop. Have a good trip,
Thanks Bob!
Dom, any and all work on this beauty is appreciated.. what ever fits your schedule!
52 years ago my father badgered my new school into letting me do my O level in technical drawing after a dismal showing in my academic subjects. I resumed the coursework I had to give up from my old school and passed it in a few months during the first round of retakes. Drawing skills allied with a knowledge of the medium you're working are worth more than any cnc machine!
Love Alltwen Porsche updates Dom. Little ones are best.
Brilliant, Dom! The world's yer lobster when you get a CNC machine, whatever medium you work in. I've got mine for wood and plastics. Loving the short update and watching the parts develop.
Just carry on as you are dom . Thank you for the video 👍
small bits are best please it shows me the skills and bits of progress, glad to watch this one
Well done Dom,brilliant work. Super bit off kit. Just don’t sit on that table!! Reminds me of a scene from Goldfinger.!!
Well done!
Welcome to the xtreme club
The plasma machine is awesome !
Thanks Dom, short updates are cool.
Hi Dom, That was exciting, just brilliant, Just keep doing what you do , slow is good 👍, All the best Brian 😃
Thanks brian!
All your content is good and enjoyable. All ways worth a watch. I never miss it.
The short updates are great and actually fit better into my schedule.
Appreciate seeing all progress
Dominic I have been doing a lot of work on boats and tried all sorts of de-rust treatments and stabilisers. What I finally settled on are products by Owatrol. They have the ability to penetrate rust including pitting. Because it's oil based it also helps to seals off not completely removed rust particles. I expect the secret of Owatrol is its ability to penetrate deeply. Since then I have also used it for friends with old cars to prevent further rusting. It's a good base for oil based primers. I am not saying it is the best but I have had very good results with it specifically in a marine, salty environment. Having a can at the repair shop might also be a good idea.
Small progress is fine with me, good result on that panel
Glad your back on the 356 Dom , Hopefully move on a bit more well done
It is always a pleasure seeing Dominic display his skills in a "no frills" style. A true craftsman.
Love the short updates!
I'd rather see this than "nothing at all". Keep up the great work and sharing.
Great to see you working on the Porsche again Dom 😊
All updates long or short are very much enjoyed.
small bits of progress whould be lovely!
Both are good to watch. Thanks.
Really interesting Dom. I would prefer the frequent updates as they make me feel more closely involved. If you ever want to do a show on restoring a classic when you have no clue how - give me a shout; BSA Bantam in bits for the last 20 odd years and not a scooby! Thanks again Dom, look forward to your posts every week.
Little and often is great for me, maybe then you could pull the 2/3 short videos together as one long recap for each section you complete. That way you if you named the long video for example “N/S rear quarter inner wing repair” you could easily find it should you need to go back and reference any areas you forget about when rebuilding, great work and keep it up!
A little bit of progress is fine... much better than none at all. I really enjoy the clips where you show the details of what you're doing, almost like a tutorial! Really useful for my own learn-as-you-go restoration work.
Loving the short clips. Makes it so much more real. Great to meet you on my tool stall at Faversham Market.
Absolutely awesome! For all practical effects you are basically reverse engineering the car as you peel layers of panels. Great idea to save the files; you could probably manufacture and sell all those hard to find panels.
I vote YES on showing the little stuff. It gives the detail and thought process you put into each operation. It's like we're there fir all of it. Bang On! as you say.
Love to see your “mini” updates- so much work!
Hi Dom, this was a great mini update ! - These smaller update videos of individual projects will ultimately provide UA-cam viewers with a much clearer understanding of what is required to be done during the restoration. Thank you for your time and consideration of your viewers. - Cheers {John - UK}
Absolutely loving watching this project as love Porsches and classic cars. The 356 is a real gem from Porsche's early days, great that you are restoring this one.
Enjoying watching the process of removing the old metal and creating new panels. Hope one day to do something similar restoring a classic car. Certainly be great to learn metal working. A very much lost art. You and Jon make a great team, love to be there helping and learn a thing or two.
As for the plasma cutter, very impressive. Would love to have a play with that baby 🙂
Keep up the great work, looking forward to watching the upcoming episodes, hopefully you will do some more before soon before I run out of ones to watch.
Great job. Good to see progress, and yes, I'd like to see short updates when you get the time rather than nothing at all. Also, it's great to see your new toy (the plasma cutter) being useful in the fabrication process so soon after you getting it.
Take us along for the ride. No job is too small. Most of us will never have a 356 or the opportunity to make panels for one. Great job! I run a waterjet 5 days a week. Drawing parts can be tedious @ times. Be thankful it's not a helicopter! I have to regularly recreate helicopter parts from templates and the tolerances are usually less than 0.010" between template and finished part. Hang in there and keep chipping away @ the stone. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent. Very cool how you made that part. You were talking about rust and how acid gets rid of rust. I watch another UA-camr minute of dangle He takes the whole car bodies and lowers them into a caustic bath to remove the paint. Then another bath of acid to remove rust. The whole car body in submerged.
Love the small segment
I'm loving these little eps on the 356. So satisfying to watch the progress!
A little progress and often please! CNC table is a godsend.
Love to see every little step!
Steady progress is fine mate 👍🏻👍🏻
You can print the outline on a normal printer on paper at 1:1 to check alignment first. But love your work, Dom.
Small bits of content is good. 👍
Very interesting . I'm investing in one of those plasma cutting machines.
Do what you can, with the time you have available, big update, small bits fabrication we enjoy them all just keep going 👍
Very happy with short updates, this is what real life restorations are all about.
If you’re concerned about inter surface corrosion use some aerospace jointing compound. Look up LAS. Thanks for the update Dom ! Keep em coming
I’ll look into that thank you!
@@DominicChineas hi Dom, LAS is a company, soz !
Small batches of progress is good for your viewers, growing your channel and for you to see progress happening. Win-win-win 🥳
Just keep on with the little clips keep up the great work 20:13
Small progress please Dom, great episode!
That's why wheeler dealers was so popular, not the silly acting, it was the repair shop detail that was put in.
I'll be watching 👍
It's good to see any progress and the process you are taking to fix the damage as you go. Really cool that you got the plasma table and can reproduce parts that are not available
Hey Dom FINALLY an update on the porche anything you do is fantastic to view love your informative videos keep it up
Dominic, great work.
I got hooked on your channel because of your passion on the repair show and your ranelagh journey.
I had a thought about your parts production process on the plasma cutter, so thought I'd make a suggestion.
This is based on my assumption that you have a certain level of skills on a computer though, but it's not too difficult.
If you take a digital photograph of the part from a completely perpendicular view, you could use this as an input to the cutter.
Edit the image in photographer or paint shop pro to remove any "noise".
Then, "find", using the app where the edges are and 'label' the sides with the relevant lengths and break it down into a line drawing.
Use this image to drive the plasma cutter and your parts "should" be perfect.
Any I.t. advice you need, I'm happy to provide FOC.
Using CAD software such as FreeCAD , you can import a photo of the item and adjust the scale to be correct and then use it to trace the design. This is ideal for flat sections like this.
You can even draw datum points on the item before taking a photo i.e. a 100mm horizontal line , so you can get the scale perfect.
The CAD software can also calculate folded sections for you.
The plasma cutter software will be able to import the CAD software output.

The plasma cutter needs a pen attachment so you can do a dry run on cardboard and not cut out 3 examples before you get it right.
This typ in between!
Thanx mate.
However you do it Dom it will be pleasure to watch buddy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love these little updates and how you resolve problems. Keep it up Dom
Really enjoying these little videos. Keep them up when possible.
That was great, thank you. Long or short, any video of the Porsche work is very welcome. Les
Love the new MACHINE ❤
Any progress will do Dom. Thanks for taking the time. 😊
Good to see you having a little time to work on the Porsche.
I'm happy to see updates as & when they appear.
Great job! Love to see any progress on the 356, fun to watch.
Great to get a Porsche update. Length was great and if it means more content please stick to the short format.
I've watched a few videos of people using plasma cutters @Urchfab specifically on the Xtreme plasma table. One thing that did strike me was the holes, they seem to start the pass a little bit inside the wasted part of the hole to stop blowing out the edge.. Just an observation.
Great work good to see progress on the dream car 👍🏼
Great video as normal Dom. The shorter format updates are fine by me. They’ll compliment the longer ones perfectly! 😁👍
I would use a 1" belt sander to removed the spot-welds so not to go into the back panel. Also MUCH faster😃
Hi loved the fact that you were back working on the Porsche. As long as you continue to produce videos on it I would support you doing whatever suits your schedule.
Little bits at a time is great… well done
Love to see more little updates, it's enjoyable to see the small details slowly coming together
Nice job Dom glad you've got to grips with your plasma mate 👍
Long or short don't matter all vids are worth watching either on this channel or repair shop got all on to record or notification bell pressed 🔔👍
Enjoying the details
Any snippets of progress are great 👍
Can't wait to see it resurrected and driven
I’ll bet back in the day they’d love to have that plasma cutter, just shows how things have moved on.
“Small bits of progress” is perfect
Progress no matter how small is excellent viewing. How cool is that cutting machine, stuff 3D printers, that's the dog's wotsits!
Like the small digestible clips, yes!
