I am just now stumbling upon this project. I can already tell 2 episodes in you are very "attention to detail oriented" the final product is going to be perfect! 👍Great stuff man, can't wait to watch them all. I have always wanted to try something like this...hmmm maybe one day 🤔
For DIY folks that watch DIY videos, want zero lecture and more lab time. You need to do 99% less talking and more work. DIYers arent interested in your command of the English language , we want to see step-by-step processes and even increase the play speed if necessary. Don't get butt hurt by my comments however accept it as feedback and how to improve your videos going forward. You have a lot of potential.
Completely agree with Pete. I can't believe the amount of talking in his videos.. like fuuuuck man!! It wouldn't be a problem if he knew how to make his points quickly, but the kid is extremely fucking wordy.
i work in a body shop in the uk and the small sander you use is awesome for that kinda stuff with the roll lock 36 grit sanding pads there so good good work on the build and keep it up!
A little tip for later go to Home Depot and get a hand planer it's for planning wood it's like a cheese grader with a handle it'll help shave the foam down quickly and minimize dust
Hay guys loosen up the reigns he is on here sharing his experience so don't complain to much if the boy wants to talk let him talk and Iam looking at doing something very similar on a twin turbod 64 Ford galaxie thanks for the great clean car content it's hard to come by
Wow I have to say great strategy to make a wide body kit with instafoam. One thing I would suggest as far as sanding to help the process go faster is using a D A dual action orbital sander, typically in about an 8-in disk should do it.
Note a cheese grader would remove the bulk of the work....then spay adheive and cover with aluminum foil....then apply fiberglass...3 layers....then peel off....make a mule out of wood as a mirror of that side and then cover mule with aluminm foil...fiberglass and wallla! your dream came true...
Thank you, Awesome job. I like how you came up with this idea. I have been thinking about it as well for my 1987 BMW E30, and I didn't like whats available on the market. I loved the Fender Flare of 2009 Mercedes SL65 AMG. Google it and you will see why I like it so much. of course not all of the SL65 AMG are like that, but many of them have the extended fender flares and I want to copy cat that onto my 1987 E30. Thank you.
You need a surform rasp to take foam down and shape it with ease. I use these when shaping surfboards. Also make a template for the front and back so you can check how even it is, side to side. \Pretty cool video though and deff some heavy DIY
that's awesome but how are you gonna shape both sides evenly.. that seems difficult.. i suggest you mesure the width of the sculpted foam from the inside of the fender that should be easier. can't wait to see the next video ;) good luck
So many fucking negative comments. If you don`t like it, why are you here? Let`s see some of your own creations? No? Don´t have the skills? A suggestion for you @Kyle Reese: If you´re gonna do something similiar again, it is a big help if you glue some kind of plastic or wooden sticks as depth markers on the fender. If you align them at an even space along the wheel arch it´s much easier to create an even and smooth bodyline. As you sand down the foam the markers will start to appear.. Im not good at explaining in english, but i hope you understand what i mean. Good job!
Holy Foam, batman... You talked for like 3+ minutes about taking the freaking cardboard off. Pacing, man... you don't have to talk for 5 minutes about every single little step...
Hi You can tell by my small round identification picture that I have done this sort of thing before to my Mercedes clk convertible if I new you were attempting this I would of given you a few tips...... I haven't gone any further up to now with your vid's ...so first thing you need room for your wheels to travel up and down to achieve this you need to cut your arches in about 3in side by side lent then bent them up and out.......this also gives you something for you arches to grip to you might need some welding if you have cut your arches too high and split the inner metal just bang them together and weld them up. If you don't no what I'm talking about then you should not be attempting anything like this...... put your wheels on all 4 sides and go out for a ride get your friends to sit in the car fully loaded go over dips and bumps as aggressively as you can ....if you find the wheels caching make moor cutting and bend up this will save you a lot of headache later trust me once you have got your car driving safely then and only then continue with the cosmetic side of your project.......boxing in with cardboard putting the cardboard at the outer part this will make a box section for the foam to gather up leaving you with a nice big block of foam..... cut it with a hacksaw blade to the shape you want. put three layers of fiberglass bandages all over your arches criss cross and slightly on your car body . then apply your filler go for the shape you want continue with the filler to bumpers ......get sills and rivet them in place then fiberglass strips were they join and then filler.....I left no gaps from the arch to the bumper but you can do them with a thin blade on a grinder..... Then take the foam out from under arches and tidy up with fiberglass this will strengthen you arches and prevent cracking with time........ mine have not cracked and its bin three years now I'm going to look at the rest of your vids I hope you were as lucky as I was.. .........
Funny thing is professionals like myself use foam to shape and then actually shoot the mold over the foam. Then actually usefiberglass to lay inside the mold he made. Now he has custom widebody kit and he sees what’s actually involved in doing this and that’s why we get good money for custom bodywork and paint
Perhaps this will be answered later in the videos. But here is where I am worried, at this point: the foam is bonded to the masking tape. The masking tape is bonded to the car. So all of this foam is attached by no stronger of a bond than that of painters tape. Won't that fall off?
You could have used a thin gauge sheet metal and stretched fabric from fender to sheet metal and fiber glassed it. A lot less work than foaming the piss out of your car. And it could be removable. Good luck with foam.
What you should have done is when the foam was wet use a filler spreading card a nd shaped it up a bit.. It would have been loads less sanding. Also you could have used a Duel action sander and shaped it up.. Then lastly shape them up with a sanding block.. Then filler..
Starting to look like a BMW Beetle? Fiberglass is a much better route. If you are doing body filler only, then I guess you're leaving the foam? That is a super bad idea. The foam will retain water and not only encourage rust (ask me how I know), it will also add weight to the car when it is wet.
Useful tip... This video would have been so much better had you just done a voiceover of you working. The working for 10 seconds and talking for 5 minutes thing you're doing is killing it.
Thoughts, could cut sanding time in half if you formed an outside covering (like you did w/cardboard underneath) to hold the shape. Then sanding/cutting would be minimized using ur technique IMO.
Dont use plaster or any interior wall spackles, it will crack out. and dont use softer silicone or calkingd for this it flexes while you drive and puts pressure on body fillers or paints around it. Use hard and fiberous materials for each piece. Flexible medium is ok to connect things with. drywall or other wall building materials are not okay they will crack leaving weak unsopported places or places for other things to fill in including moisture or other debris or soap from washing your car at a carwash inside of your body to work its way under your paint coat causing bubbling and cracking and peeling which is horrible. You think you're done and later on a big bubble shows up in the middle of it or it cracks open. I'm saying this from experience. Broke out the angle grinder and took out he entire bubble area and anything weak around it out and used harder materials like fiberglass or two part body filler and spot putty which take less time to put in and have more durability. They actually even work better in home repairs as well
That’s an actually nice video mate, for others... if you guys don’t wanna hear him then use what’s called a “Skipping/fast forward” feature to your liking. Seriously smh... 🤦♂️
I don't mind the talking. I find it more instructive. like say he adds foam after the first foam was dry and doesn't say why? welp now you make you're wide body kit and its not wide enough
Is big gap filler that hard? I used it before and it didn't seem sandable.. I'd like to do my fenders but it seems like it would be too spongy. Are you sure it was easy to sand or even cut?
People really complaining about him talking lmao im trynna learn jus skip or be patient
your channel definatelly needs more appreciation.
Hot knife cuts nicely I did this back in high school on my old lifter ford ranger I grinded out the wheel wells and foamed up Nice new ones
On one hand I admire your tenacity, on the other hand, so many things are wrong here. Good luck man.
This is such a great idea!!! Really personalised and just fun
I cant believe that worked, good job
Old school body kit manufacturing :D AWESOME! :D
I am just now stumbling upon this project. I can already tell 2 episodes in you are very "attention to detail oriented" the final product is going to be perfect! 👍Great stuff man, can't wait to watch them all. I have always wanted to try something like this...hmmm maybe one day 🤔
It's dumb because it's going to hold moisture like a sponge. Should have learned to fiberglass 😆🙄🙄
@@paulmajors3112 it’s not dumb, he’s just inexperienced, like you with positive reinforcements lol edit: smf, he did fiberglass. Go look 🤣
@@paulmajors3112it won’t hold water if he fiberglasses the foam
i like him talking, he really explains things well
Between the relentless talk and musak I had to go to the last part, part four to end the torture. That's 100% DIY
Appreciate the vid bro and I like the fact you talked us through the process

I agree with Michael :)
Pete Butler Thats called a tutorial jackass
Completely agree with Pete. I can't believe the amount of talking in his videos.. like fuuuuck man!! It wouldn't be a problem if he knew how to make his points quickly, but the kid is extremely fucking wordy.
Yep
i work in a body shop in the uk and the small sander you use is awesome for that kinda stuff with the roll lock 36 grit sanding pads there so good good work on the build and keep it up!
Im watching this 5 years later if the s held up until know you are a genius
THanks! Great idea!
95% talking, 5% real work here. Why am I bored so much!
At least he's doing vids not like you bitch ass
Cuz you still livin in your moms basement that is why you are so bored lol
،exactly
Your litterarlly about to make a new trend
A little tip for later go to Home Depot and get a hand planer it's for planning wood it's like a cheese grader with a handle it'll help shave the foam down quickly and minimize dust
How is this guy perfectly clean
Look forward to seeing the finished look dude!
5:54..I spent about 7 hours talking..
The bubble look good actually
You put great wheels on the car
Av never hated one's voice like urs 😤
stop talking
stfu puss
FLAT EARTH EQUALS NO ALIENS you now there is people that gonna do this them self and they need this talking and help
i had to mute whole video, i was patient enough but i was gonna die. totally waste of my time
Do not talk about it
FLAT EARTH EQUALS NO ALIENS ✌ brother
Hay guys loosen up the reigns he is on here sharing his experience so don't complain to much if the boy wants to talk let him talk and Iam looking at doing something very similar on a twin turbod 64 Ford galaxie thanks for the great clean car content it's hard to come by
Talk to much bro! like The content but to much "uhm" not enough work being filmed , keep up good work!
I hate that! :(
In Germany we call this: Hallo, ich bins wieder euer Rainer !
Everyone commenting that he’s talking to much he’s trying to explain what’s going on and that’s good content
asuming the comments below i'm not the only one saying "more DOING , less talking would be much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your experiment and what you've learned/learning from the mistakes that will come with any experiment! 👍

Hey Guy’s i know it’s not the best youtuber ever but let him does his video if you don’t like him just stop watching him it’s simple no?
Note a cheese grader would remove the bulk of the work....then spay adheive and cover with aluminum foil....then apply fiberglass...3 layers....then peel off....make a mule out of wood as a mirror of that side and then cover mule with aluminm foil...fiberglass and wallla! your dream came true...

Tape up the cardboard so it comes off easier! Cool video!
less talky more worky motor mouth
Preach!!!!
Ayyy I see the “B is for Build” sticker 👌new Subscriber:)
I love the mcm chopped sticker.
stop talking more doing
LackHoes Intolerance That's the power of the Home Depot.
abyde you are an amazing human being
Ong my phone finna die
Lol I thought the same thing

good luck keep up the good work greetings from morocco
Perhaps this will be answered later in the videos. But here is where I am worried, at this point:
the foam is bonded to the masking tape. The masking tape is bonded to the car. So all of this foam is attached by no stronger of a bond than that of painters tape.
Won't that fall off?
Think im going to do my own series of this on my del sol without the talking. Thanks for paving the way tho
Nice work man!!
Good job man..you should look in to car body design school..whille your still young..you have a good eye for details..
You could have used a thin gauge sheet metal and stretched fabric from fender to sheet metal and fiber glassed it. A lot less work than foaming the piss out of your car. And it could be removable. Good luck with foam.
I love you t-shirt 😍 GT86/ BRZ/ FR-S
great job
great video !
good job bro. I suggest a file to sand. if you're going to use air grinder. start with a air file sander
Bro u rock I'm inspired
What you should have done is when the foam was wet use a filler spreading card a nd shaped it up a bit.. It would have been loads less sanding. Also you could have used a Duel action sander and shaped it up.. Then lastly shape them up with a sanding block.. Then filler..

i would say leave the air pockets in there so that the body filler has somethin to bond to better
Looks good bro
MAN...... YOU TALK TOO DAMN MUCH. LESS TALKY MORE WORKY 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯... other than that, this whole build is awesome!! very informative and helpful.
Whooooo mighty car mods chopped sticker sighted!!!
Sick 👍
Useful tip... This video would have been so much better had you just done a voiceover of you working. The working for 10 seconds and talking for 5 minutes thing you're doing is killing it.
2:00 me showing the boys my fresh buds
Awesome
Should’ve put trash bags over the wheels and used the expanding foam as a mold for fiber glass.
I have not minded the talking. Has anyone watch b is for build? This is entertaining as fuck and ille be watching the rest lol
Dude it's cool that your do this set up, but you can show more than explain, most poeple who watch these vids are car guys ,so we understand
Thoughts, could cut sanding time in half if you formed an outside covering (like you did w/cardboard underneath) to hold the shape. Then sanding/cutting would be minimized using ur technique IMO.
I love the t-shirts you wore, man
Also I'm doing this job if you answer a few questions I'll ask the turkey would be the mammalian
Did you watch the Japanese version? 😂🤣😂 after watching that one I was like yep, 40$ on amazon!!!
Do not talk about it👌👌👌
Wow,cant believe you destroyed thus perfectly good car.
loving the videos man!

They actually even work better in home repairs as well
Should've used sheets of Fiberglas with resin, let that dry and use rage or evercoat gold over it
50 grit: basically a shingle
Excellent content and reminds me of @bisforbuild when he first started but you talk to much in between actually working on the car
He put foam over the gas cap😂
Phazoid 79 lmao
🤣😅😂
Its probably runs on hopes and dreams and talking.
If u stop talking you'll get more work done...so dam irritating
😅🤣
stooooooooooooooooooooooooop talkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing f!uck
If Eric and Kelso had a baby...
That’s an actually nice video mate, for others... if you guys don’t wanna hear him then use what’s called a “Skipping/fast forward” feature to your liking. Seriously smh... 🤦♂️
I don't mind the talking. I find it more instructive. like say he adds foam after the first foam was dry and doesn't say why? welp now you make you're wide body kit and its not wide enough
Has this process been around or is this something you have invented?
Zum Glück habt ihr bei euch ein Tempolimit
Den bei voller Fahrt fällt das Ding bestimmt wieder auseinander
Wtf man... stop talking
Too much talk. OMG! Whaat!
so is the foam just to make templets? cause that foam is gonna crack and seperate from the body once you start driving.
respect for actually doing all this, but man you talk a lot more than work on it.
To avoid holes from foam find and buy foam in liquid form ;)
Bruh idk why people getting so pressed about him explaining what he’s doing lmao you’d be lost if he wasn’t explaining it
What did you have for dinner, or did I miss that bit?
Is big gap filler that hard? I used it before and it didn't seem sandable.. I'd like to do my fenders but it seems like it would be too spongy. Are you sure it was easy to sand or even cut?
